Cotton day pads

Why choose reusable day pads?

Our reusable day pads are a comfortable, healthy, and sustainable option for your daily routine. They are designed for moderate flows, like those that usually appear on most menstruation days.

Unlike disposables, they contain no perfumes, plastics, chemicals, or synthetic products. They allow your skin to breathe and offer gentle protection without irritation. Plus, since they’re reusable, they don’t generate waste and you can use them for years.

If you’re looking for a regular pad with wings that fits your underwear well, feels comfortable, and supports your movement, this is your ideal choice.

Benefits of nüshu’s regular day pads with wings

Our nüshu day pads are designed to accompany you in your daily routine with comfort and confidence. Ideal for moderate flows, they feature nickel-free snap wings that stay securely in place on your underwear.

They’re made of cotton, with no plastics or irritating substances. They’re soft, breathable, and very pleasant to the touch, even on the days when your skin feels more sensitive.

They’re also hand-sewn in local workshops, with great attention to detail. A way to care for yourself — and those behind each pad.

How long do they last and how to wash them?

Our reusable day pads can last up to 5 years with proper care. After use, I recommend rinsing them with cold water and washing by hand or in the washing machine (below 60ºC) using a sustainable soap that won’t damage the fabric or irritate your skin.

To keep them spotless, you can also use sodium percarbonate, a natural whitening agent that helps remove stains without harming the fibers.

And to store them during the day, take them with you in a menstrual bag — waterproof, discreet, and practical. That way, you always have a clean pad on hand when you need it.

Regular pads with wings are handmade in local workshops, with great attention to detail and a commitment to your well-being and the planet. Plus, I’ll always be close by to answer your questions and help you find the best fit for you.

If you’re looking for a reusable day pad that’s practical, durable, and respectful to your body, you’re in the right place.

Which pad do you need depending on your flow or stage of the cycle?

Our reusable day pads are designed for moderate flow days, which are the most common during menstruation. But if your flow is heavier or it’s the beginning of your cycle, you can combine them with other models based on your needs:

• The large pads offer more surface and absorption without sacrificing comfort.
• The night pads are designed for worry-free sleep thanks to their elongated shape.
• The postpartum pads are the most absorbent and gentle — ideal for very heavy flows.
• And if you just need light protection, you can choose our reusable pantyliners — perfect for the first or last days of the cycle.

You can mix and match models depending on how your cycle evolves. If you’re unsure, I’m here to help you find the perfect combo.

Alternatives and complementary products

In addition to our reusable pads, at nüshu you’ll find other equally respectful and effective options for your period.

If you prefer an all-in-one alternative, our menstrual underwear offers built-in absorption and is perfect for moving freely.

You can combine pads with menstrual cups or menstrual sponges, which gently adapt to your body.

And to take care of your pads:

• Use sustainable soap to wash them without damaging the fabric.
• Use sodium percarbonate to keep them clean and fresh.
• A menstrual bag lets you carry them discreetly and conveniently.

Everything is designed to help you live your period with peace of mind and confidence.

Frequently asked questions about reusable day pads

How many day pads do I need?

It depends on your flow and how often you want to change them. I recommend having at least 4 or 5 reusable pads so you can rotate them without stress.

Are day pads comfortable for being out and about?

Yes. They are thin, discreet, and stay in place thanks to their snap wings. You can also store them in a menstrual bag and carry a spare without hassle.

Are they suitable for teens or first periods?

Yes, they’re perfect because of their regular size, comfort, and because they contain no chemicals. Many young girls choose them for their softness and ease of use. If they start with these, plastic ones will feel strange when they try them later.

Can I use them if I have sensitive skin or irritation?

Yes. They are made from certified Oeko-Tex or GOTS fabrics, and contain no perfumes or plastics. They are breathable and kind to your skin, even on the most delicate days.
