Cotton reusable cloth pads

What are reusable cloth pads?

Reusable cloth pads are a healthy, sustainable, and comfortable alternative to traditional disposable pads. They are made with 100% cotton, a soft and skin-friendly material that allows breathability and prevents irritation.

These pads are designed to absorb menstrual flow or urine leaks efficiently, offering you protection without toxins or plastics. Being reusable, they significantly reduce the amount of waste you produce, helping to care for the planet and promoting more conscious consumption.

At nüshu, all cloth pads are made with quality materials, designed to support you through every moment of your cycle or in special situations like postpartum, incontinence, or vaginal treatments.

Benefits of nüshu’s cotton cloth pads

They are made of cotton, without plastics or chemicals, which makes them soft and gentle on the skin, even for sensitive or irritated skin. They’re ideal for improving recurrent yeast infections, irritation, or urinary tract infections.

Each pad is handmade with great care in a local workshop, paying attention to every detail to give you a long-lasting and high-quality product.

How long do they last and how do you wash them?

The cotton cloth pads can last up to 5 years or more with proper care. To keep them in perfect condition, after use we recommend rinsing them with cold water and washing them by hand or in the washing machine using a sustainable soap that protects the fibers and doesn’t irritate or harm your skin.

To remove tough stains or give them a deeper clean, you can use sodium percarbonate, a natural, fabric-safe whitener.

Additionally, to carry them hygienically throughout the day, you can use a cloth pad pouch that’s practical, discreet, and waterproof.

Cloth pads for incontinence

There are different life situations that may lead to incontinence. While treating the condition with a professional, there’s no need to suffer the discomfort of wet underwear or resort to disposable pantyliners that cause itching, redness, or infections due to the materials they’re made of — not to mention the waste they generate and the constant need to buy more.

At nüshu we offer a wide range of pantyliners and cloth pads for incontinence, from the tangaslip to the oversized cloth pad.  And we haven’t forgotten about men, with our reusable male pantyliner you can also manage male incontinence in a sustainable and skin-friendly way.

Alternatives and complementary products

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

If you prefer an all-in-one option, menstrual underwear offers built-in absorbency and is perfect for moving freely and confidently.

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

And to take care of your pads:

• The sustainable soap is ideal for washing them without damaging the fabric.
• The sodium percarbonate helps keep them clean and fresh.
• The cloth pad pouch lets you carry them comfortably and discreetly.

Everything is designed so you can experience your period with calm and confidence.
