Why choose reusables?
For centuries, women and girls have relied on cloth as a traditional menstrual solution.
At PadMad, we believe that by transforming this simple method into a high-quality, certified product, the impact can be truly transformational.
The average woman will experience around 400 periods in her lifetime, spending over 3,500 days menstruating. Yet, for millions, the monthly cost of single-use menstrual products is simply unaffordable.
Reusable pads offer a practical, cost-saving alternative. Designed to last at least FIVE years, they can be washed, dried, and reused, providing long-term affordability. To put it into perspective, one PadMad Menstrual Kit (4-pack) costs three times less than a year’s supply of disposable pads.
For organizations, this means lower procurement costs and simplified logistics, as distribution only needs to happen once per year.
Millions of women and girls rely on unsanitary materials such as old cloth, mattress stuffing, or even reused disposable pads to manage their periods. These makeshift solutions can lead to health risks, discomfort, and embarrassment, making everyday life a challenge.
PadMad provides a safe, dignified alternative—maintaining the familiarity of cloth while ensuring superior hygiene, comfort, and protection.
Introducing drastic behavioral changes in development and humanitarian settings can be challenging. However, PadMad’s products are designed for seamless adoption:
A single menstruating individual uses around 200 disposable pads per year, contributing to massive waste challenges—especially in areas with poor waste management.
Switching to reusable pads significantly reduces waste, helping both individuals and organizations minimize their environmental footprint. Be kind to the planet—choose reusables!
PadMad pads are built to last. Designed by our dedicated Research & Design team, our pads are:
Our passion for quality has positioned PadMad as a leader in advocating for product standards and certification of reusable pads through key partnerships and collaborations.
Join us in the menstrual movement to end period stigma, period poverty, and reduce waste from disposables!
