Bloomer Reusable Sanitary Cloth Pads - Medium

Bloomers are an alternative to disposable sanitary pads from Bloom & Nora. They have popper tabs designed to keep them firmly in place and a unique stay dry binding which helps to keep wetness away from you and your cloth for  fantastic leak free and reusable protection!

Why should I switch to cloth sanitary protection?

Did you know that each of us will use up to 16,000 disposable pads, pantyliners and tampons in our lifetime? Cloth Sanitary production is an extremely cost-effective swap with a one-off cost for products that will last for years, compared to the £45-£88 a year most women spend on disposable sanitary products every single year. Using non-disposable sanitary protection significantly lowers the risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome), and they also contain no pH altering chemicals. Another huge benefit of using reusable sanitary protection is reducing the amount single use products and therefor the impact they have on the environment, an estimated 8 billion pads and tampons end up in the UK sewage system each year!

What are they made from?

Bloomers are made with microfibre and have a natural bamboo fleece layer next to the skin. The waterproof layer is made from recycled plastic bottles and they are also 100% plastic and chemical free!

Size 26cm in length, holds on average up to 90ml.

We recommend a quick hand rinse in cold water after use and store in waterproof bag until it’s time to wash. Wash at 40 degrees with non-bio powder. Your pads can be tumble dried on cool. Don’t use fabric softener as this will reduce their absorbency. Likewise we recommend you don’t use harsh stain removers as they may damage the waterproof membrane and irritate your skin.

Please note: Pads cannot be returned once used unless faulty.

We don't want to bang on about Eco-Friendly alternatives.... but it's important!  Some people don't consider reusable sanitary pads when looking to switch their everyday products to Eco-Friendly alternatives, but they really are a thing and they are super popular too. Some people like to use them as a back-up to the Mooncup, others use them alone. Not only are they better for the environment as they don't contain plastics, they are better for you! No chemicals or toxins that are present in disposable sanitary wear. They will also save you money in the long run! Win!

Just pop them in the a wet bag when used and then put the bag in the washing machine unzipped. So no need to touch them if you'd rather not.

With a contured slim fit, bamboo fleece next to the skin and a soft waterproof exterior they are more comfortable than the plasticy disposable alternatives. Also made in the UK and Oekotex certified! It doesn't get any better. Give them a try you will be surprised.

Fabric composition: Surface - Bamboo fleece; Core - Polyester microfibre; Soft waterproof exterior made from recycled plastic bottle waste. All Oeko-Tex 100 certified.
