Lunapads can be washed by hand or machine in any
temperature with your regular detergent. Pre-soaking or rinsing in
cold water prior to washing is recommended (but not always necessary)
particularly if the pads are heavily saturated. Please note that if
Lunapads are being soaked, soaking water must be changed daily.
We
recommend natural cleaning products such as Nellie’s All
Natural Laundry Soda for regular cleaning, and Buncha
Farmers Stain Remover to perk up stained pads. Heavily stained
pads may also benefit from occasional machine wash and dry in hot
settings or air drying in direct sunlight.
Please avoid the use
of chlorine bleach or fabric softeners to clean Lunapads, as this will
decrease the performance of the products and is harmful to the
environment.
Construction
Pad Base:
2 Layer, 100% cotton flannel base topped with an absorbent panel made
of 2 layers of 100% cotton fleece, and 1 layer of ultra-thin nylon to
minimize soaking through. Nickel-free, Silver-plated brass single snap
fastening. Click here

Liner Insert: 2
layers of 100% cotton fleece.
Performance
A
single Pad will get you through an entire day of your cycle; just
change your Liner as needed. Liners will last approximately as long (per
use) as a comparably-sized disposable pad or tampon. Unlike most
disposable pads, Lunapads do not contain any added chemicals, gels, or
super absorbent polymers. Given this, Lunapads users need to be mindful
of changing the Liner insert as frequently as their flow dictates in
order to prevent soaking through the Pad. Frequent changing of the
Liners significantly enhances the comfort and performance of the Pad.
Lunapads
will last upwards of 5 years with recommended usage and care.
