Reading this means you are interested in making a change. We hope this will convince you that it is the right decision:

• You will prevent thousands of disposable napkins from ending up in landfills and thus generate less waste.
• You save money by not having to buy pads every single month.
• You are less exposed to unhealthy chemicals, treated cotton, bleaches, etc., which are usually used in the manufacture of disposable sanitary napkins.
• No chemicals are transferred to your body through sweat, and some women have noticed fewer menstrual cramps after stopping using regular sanitary pads.
• Reusable cloth pads are more comfortable and skin-friendly as they do not contain chemicals and are made from hypoallergenic organic cotton and antibacterial hemp.
• No annoying sticky residue on your panties from now on.
• Long-term investment, as you can use the reusable washable cloth pads for between 2 and 5 years.

Femi.Eko®'s reusable pads, made from a wonderfully soft fabric, tend to be more breathable and are less likely to expose your intimate area to harsh and harmful chemicals like some sanitary pads do, as these can contain dioxin, acetone, chlorine, pesticides and many other nasty toxins.

When it comes to health, it's important to make sure you change your reusable pads regularly and keep your intimate area clean after each use. Cloth pads can irritate your skin, just like any other menstrual product, if they become too saturated and wet.

Femi.Eko®'s reusable pads are made from Oeko-Tex fabrics with a blend of hypoallergenic organic cotton and antibacterial hemp without microfiber, which is a more sustainable choice for both your body and the planet.

Hemp fabric/fibres offer several advantages, including:

Sustainability: Hemp is a fast-growing and renewable resource that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Durability: Hemp fibers are strong and durable, resulting in long-lasting and elastic textiles.

Breathability: Hemp fabric is breathable and moisture wicking, which makes it comfortable to wear, even in different weather conditions.

Antibacterial properties: Hemp has natural antibacterial properties that can help reduce odors and promote hygiene.

Environmentally friendly processing: The production of hemp fabric typically involves fewer chemicals and toxins compared to other textiles, further reducing its environmental impact.

Biodegradability: Hemp textiles are biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally over time, reducing waste.

The good news is that Femi.Eko® reusable pads tend to stay fresher than disposable pads. This is because the organic cotton and hemp have a high breathability, so that the moisture can evaporate quickly. Less moisture means less bacteria that produce nasty smells. If you find that a reusable pad smells, it is not the pad's fault and we recommend that you talk to your doctor. To protect against odours, you can soak your washable nappies in vinegar or baking soda to help remove odours, and you can wash cloth nappies at 60 degrees.

Femi.Eko®'s washable pads are made to be very absorbent and you will not experience leaks if used correctly. The reusable pads have wings that bend around the bottom of the panties to keep the sides of the panties safe and dry. Our reusable pads have a waterproof backing for extra protection. Like disposable pads, you should of course change the cloth pads before they become completely saturated. Once you have used reusable pads for a short time, you will know when to change them. Tip! When you go to the toilet, you can use a piece of toilet paper to soak up some of the blood content from the cloth pad, so you can be sure that it does not become too saturated.

Not only are the reusable pads comfortable, but the breathability keeps you feeling dry and fresh. The reusable pads are very soft due to the organic cotton and hemp that feel like they never get wet, which makes a big difference compared to disposable pads. The breathability of the hemp protects against bacterial growth, so you may experience less odor and irritation. Some users say that the breathability makes them much cooler to wear than disposable pads, which contain plastic parts that retain heat.

Yes, in fact, Femi.Eko® reusable pads can be extremely absorbent. We recommend that you choose size M, so you will be protected and feel safe during the day, but also at night. In addition, the reusable cloth pads feel less wet than normal pads, so you feel comfortable, even when you are bleeding heavily. For daily use, we recommend size S and as panty liners for everyday use size XS .

Blood is a strong stain, so always remember to use cold water first, whether you're washing a washable cloth pad or menstrual panties or just a stain from your sheets. Soak cloth pads in cold water before washing them, or let the cold water run on the blood stain while you rub it with your hands (especially if there is clotted blood on the cloth pad). Then just wash the cloth pad normally, at 40 degrees, in the washing machine or by hand. When your period is over, disinfect the reusable pads by giving them a wash at 60 degrees.

If you choose to wash cloth pads by hand, you may want to soak them first to make them easier to wash. Rub the used cloth pad with warm water and hypoallergenic detergent, then rinse the pad in cold water until the water runs clear.

We recommend avoiding fabric softener as it can make the fabrics less absorbent. It is also not recommended to bleach cloth pads as it can break down the material and interfere with absorbency, but can also be transferred to your skin.

You can either air dry reusable pads by hanging them up, or by using the dryer, but don't use high heat or tumble bind at full power. Like anything else that air dries, cloth pads may feel a little stiff at first.

Sunlight can kill any bacteria and make stains disappear, but the sun can also fade the colors of your cloth pads or damage waterproof backing materials, especially if they are exposed to sunlight or high heat for extended periods of time.

Always stretch the cloth bandage after washing so that it regains its original shape.

Cloth pads must not be ironed! Do not use perfume or chemicals, as they disrupt hormones and affect the pH value in the vagina.

It is always better for your health to buy organic, but the problem of disposable sanitary napkin waste is still a fact we have to consider when thinking about the environment. Organic washable sanitary napkins from Femi.Eko® are made from organic cotton that is grown without pesticides or herbicides, which means that fewer of these chemicals enter your body. This also means less pollution of the soil and less damage to the environment. It also means less exposure to toxins for the people who work on the farms where the cotton is grown. In addition, our patent-pending technology has combined organic cotton with the amazing benefits of hemp fiber fabric, making our reusable sanitary napkins naturally antibacterial, moisture-repellent and suitable for washing at 60 degrees.

Du bør skifte Femi.Eko® ’s genanvendelige stofbind i forhold til dit behov. Jo mere du vænner dig til det, desto bedre ved du hvornår mætningen er på sit højeste. Vi anbefaler dog ikke, at du bruger et stofbind i mere end 12 timer ad gangen.

Women have this special time of the month, which they experience for about 35 years of their lives on average. This means that over time, a lot of money is spent on menstrual products. By switching to reusable pads and sustainable intimate products like menstrual cups, menstrual discs or menstrual panties, you can save significantly on costs.

Here is the calculation:

35 years x 12 menstrual cycles x 5 days on average = 2,100 menstrual days
That's the equivalent of 5 years and 8 months of uninterrupted menstrual days – crazy, right?

4 volumes/day x 2,100 days = 8,400 volumes
DKK 4.50/pad x 8,400 disposable pads = DKK 37,800 over your lifetime.

FEMI.EKO®'S CLOTH BINDING
Over the course of 35 years, you will need to replace the reusable pads approximately 7 times.
Let's say you have 6 cloth pads that need to be changed every time:
7 x 6 = 42 cloth diapers in your lifetime.

With an average price of DKK 75.00 per volume, it will cost:
DKK 75.00 x 42 cloth pads = DKK 3,150 over your lifetime.

By choosing sustainable solutions like Femi.Eko®'s cloth pads, you can save both money and the environment!

It depends on how much you bleed and whether you also use other menstrual products such as Femi.Eko®'s menstrual cup or our menstrual disc , or whether you alternate between using Femi.Eko®'s cloth pads and menstrual panties . Women usually have between 5 and 10 reusable pads. Calculate how many disposable pads you have used during your menstrual days and divide by 3. You may need to wash your cloth pads in the meantime, but that's okay!

They certainly can. Sustainable education should start early and we support teenagers in being environmentally friendly, by choosing products that will change the way we consume. Starting early with reusable washable pads can help young girls and teens feel in control of their cycle without having to spend a fortune.

Femi.Eko®'s reusable pads are a perfect product to use for light incontinence. People with this problem need daily protection. While sanitary pads can increase the risk of getting fungal and bacterial infections or create irritation and chafing, Femi.Eko®'s cloth pads can be a godsend to use, due to their comfort and breathability, for people who need to use pads daily.

After giving birth, many women choose the reusable organic soft cloth pads as a natural choice that is comfortable and promotes healing after birth, as the washable cloth pad is more breathable and skin-friendly for the intimate area.
