Menstrual Hygiene and Sustainable Choices

At Moody V, we understand the importance of menstrual hygiene and the impact of menstrual products on our planet. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing sustainable menstrual products that are not only eco-friendly but also comfortable and practical. Our focus on reusable pads is rooted in the belief that menstruation should not come at the expense of our environment.

Sustainable Menstrual Products

In our pursuit of sustainability, we’ve crafted a line of reusable cloth pads. These are designed to cater to various needs, from regular to overnight flows, ensuring that everyone can find their match. Our pads are made from materials like 100% cotton flannel and cotton terry cloth, with options that include a waterproof lining (polyurethane laminate) for added protection.

Eco-friendly Period Products

By choosing Moody V’s reusable pads, you’re not just selecting a product that’s good for you; you’re also making a choice that benefits our planet. Single-use menstrual products contribute significantly to landfill waste, and by opting for cloth menstrual pads, you’re helping reduce that waste. It’s a small change with a big impact.

Menstrual Pad Alternatives

  • Cloth Menstrual Pads: Our main offering, designed for durability and comfort.
  • Washable Menstrual Pads: Easy to care for, ensuring that you’re never without a clean option.

Benefits of Reusable Pads

Choosing Moody V’s reusable pads comes with numerous benefits. Not only are they more environmentally friendly, but they’re also cost-effective in the long run. Our pads are designed for years of use, meaning you save money while also saving the planet. Moreover, our customers often report that our pads offer greater comfort and reliability than disposable options, with less irritation and a better fit.

How to Use Reusable Pads

Switching to reusable pads is easier than you might think. Simply use the pad as you would a disposable one, changing it as needed based on your flow. After use, rinse the pad in cold water and then launder it according to our care instructions. With proper care, Moody V pads can last for years, making them an extremely cost-effective period solution.

Cost-effective Period Solutions

We understand that the initial investment in reusable menstrual products may seem higher than continuing to buy disposables every month. However, when considering the longevity and durability of Moody V pads, the cost savings become clear. Instead of purchasing packs of disposables month after month, year after year, you can rely on a set of Moody V pads to keep you covered, making it a financially savvy choice in the long term.

At Moody V, we’re proud to stand at the intersection of sustainability, comfort, and inclusivity. Our queer-owned and operated company is more than just a business; it’s a community built on the values of trans-inclusivity, accessibility, and the destigmatization of menstruation. We invite you to explore our range of cloth pads, liners, and accessories to discover the comfort and reliability of sustainable period care. Together, we can make a difference, one period at a time.

Moody Reviews

These pads feel *heavenly* to wear. Soft, barely noticeable but not too lightweight, and they stay in place all day!!! I love them, I can’t wait to get my next paycheck so I can order more. :) these were my first experience with the switch to reusables and I’m very impressed. If anyone else is on the edge of starting this route, GO FOR IT. Especially if you’ve ever suffered from itchiness from those plastic pad materials..this is so much better.

Lydia

It's my first time buying reusable pads and I'm really happy with this pair. The print and design sold me, but the comfort and reliability have exceeded my expectations. They work for daytime and overnight use with no problems compared to disposable pads. Wish I bought these sooner. They're a total game changer for periods.

Kim

Beautiful pattern, expertly stitched, and lovely seller. Beyond happy. Very fast shipping too! Thank you so much!!! ❤️

Emily

High-quality, low maintenance reusable pads! Really nice, and they do stain but that can’t really be helped aside from doing a quick handwash before tossing it in the machine. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

Joey

These are the best!! They are not bulky and the fabric is so comfortable. I have tried shapes and patterns from several of the best selling shops and these are my favorite.

Ada

I like that they have metal snaps! The ones I have with plastic snaps do not last as long. I think these will hold up for a few years. Thank you!

I know right!? Ok, so cloth menstrual pads are a washable, reusable alternative to disposable pads. Pretty sweet, right?

  • The regular absorbency pads are good for light to moderate flows. They are 100% cotton, with a layer of terry cloth (towel material) inside for absorbency. Cotton is a moisture wicking and breathable fabric, which allows menstrual fluid to dry rapidly, keeping you comfy and dry. This also means that these cloth pads can absorb a surprising amount of fluid!
  • The heavy absorbency pads are perfect for moderate to heavy flows. Heavy pads are longer than regular pads. These pads are primarily cotton, with cotton flannel and terry cloth for absorbency and breathability. Additionally, they have a layer of polyurethane laminate (PUL) inside. This is a waterproof, laminated fabric that protects you from leakage. In the heavy pads, the PUL lining is in the pad core (the part that’s shaped like a peanut)!
  • The overnight cloth pads are great for heavy flows, and for overnight use. Overnight pads are longer than heavy pads, and flare out at each end. These pads are made of cotton flannel, cotton terry cloth, and PUL lining. In the overnights, the PUL lining extends throughout the entire base of the pad, so even the wings are leakproof!

Cloth liners are lovely for really light days, and as a backup for a tampon or menstrual cup. They are made of five layers of cotton. They are soft, barely noticeable, and peace of mind for that bit of protection.

Moody V regular absorbency pads and cloth liners are made with 100% cotton, which makes your down-there oh-so happy. Cotton is a breathable, moisture wicking fabric that creates a difficult environment for yucky bacteria like yeast to grow. 

Disposable pads are mostly synthetic, which is fully not nice to your body. They’re made out of bleached wood pulp (what the?) and non-biodegradable materials.

Moody V’s heavy cloth pads and overnight cloth pads are also primarily cotton. They have a polyurethane lining inside, which keeps moisture from leaking through. This lining is non-biodegradable (I know, it sucks). But remember, you’re not just gonna throw it away, you’ll probably use it like, 100 times.

The regular absorbency pads are made with cotton flannel and cotton terry cloth (like a towel material). Liners are just cotton flannel. Ugh! So simple! Love that!

The heavy cloth menstrual pads and overnight cloth pads are made with cotton flannel, cotton terry cloth, and polyurethane laminate. Ugh! Slightly less simple but still wow amazing and great! Love that!

Look at the “Wh-. . . What? Who? Where? What?” question at the top of this FAQ page to learn out each variety of pads work!

Method 1: Rinse with cold water ASAP to reduce staining. Machine wash cold, then air dry thoroughly to maintain a nice shape.

Method 2: Machine wash cold, tumble dry.*

*Method 2 gets your pad clean and ready to use again real quick, but may result in light staining and scrunching-up in the dryer. (Stains fade over time and you can stretch the pad gently with your hands to un-scrunch it.)

Some folks like to keep a container of cool water in their bathroom so they can soak their pads until they’re ready to wash them. This helps remove stains without using chemicals or potentially fabric-damaging products.

It’s recommended to avoid using fabric softener, as it makes fabric less absorbent.

Another good rule of thumb is not to use anything on your pads you wouldn’t wash your underwear with. Your pads are gonna be up close and personal with a sensitive area, so avoid harsh or irritating chemicals when washing them.

Cloth pads contain several layers of fabric, which means it might need extra time drying. Make sure they’re super dry out of the dryer or dry them in the sun to prevent mildew. Do be aware that sun-drying can result in fabric discoloration.
