What are reusable menstrual pads?

Reusable menstrual pads are products made of cloth that women can launder and reuse instead of using disposable pads that are thrown out after use, according to New Moon Pads. These types of pads are made of cloth and easy to carry.

New Moon Pads claims this form of pad has potential health benefits such as decreasing a woman's flow, period discomfort, skin irritation and risk of contracting a yeast infection. In addition, women save financially by not having to purchase thousands of pads over years. As New Moon Pads explains, this also helps protect the environment from the excess waste disposable pads create.
