Frequently asked questions
How do I know which size I need?
Think about your heaviest menstrual day. Light flow → Light, normal → Medium, heavy → Heavy/Night, very heavy with clots → SuperFlow.
How many ml does a reusable pad absorb?
Light: ~15ml, Medium: ~25ml, Heavy: ~30ml, SuperFlow: ~80ml+. For comparison: disposables only absorb 10-20ml.
What's the difference between a pantyliner and a pad?
Pantyliners are thinner and suitable for light urine loss/discharge. Pads are thicker and absorb menstrual blood.
Can I combine different sizes?
Absolutely! Most women use varying sizes throughout their cycle. Order a mix and discover what works for you!
