Reusable Pads for Heavy Flow
These are reusable, washable pads for heavy flow, overnight, and the days a regular pad cannot keep up. Soft bamboo terry, 12 inches of edge-to-edge protection, and a core that holds about four times what a disposable does.
The Super Pad holds about four tampons or disposable pads' worth
Best for: pick by your heaviest day
If you change a disposable every couple of hours on your heaviest day, or you wake up to leaks, you want the Super Pad. It holds about 4X a standard disposable, and the leak-proof layer runs right through the wings.
If your flow is moderate and your worry is mostly comfort and rash, the Maxi Pad covers it. Not sure where you land? Start with a single pad, then move to a set once you trust them. Add a second set later and the price drops automatically.
Who these are for
- Heavy and very heavy days
- Overnight, with back and side coverage
- Clots and sudden gushes
- Postpartum recovery flow
- Light to moderate bladder leaks
- Sensitive skin that reacts to disposables
Choose by flow level

Why thin disposables fail on a heavy day
A standard disposable is built for an average day. On a heavy one it saturates, the gel clumps, and the plastic top sheet traps heat against your skin. That trapped heat and damp is where the rash so many women blame on themselves actually comes from.
A reusable Super Pad works differently. It holds about four times what a disposable does. The bamboo terry next to your skin pulls fluid away and stays breathable, while a leak-proof backing wraps through the wings. At 12 inches it covers you front to back.
It stays put with wing snaps, so there is no adhesive sliding around. The thing customers repeat most is simple: no more rashes, and not a single leak on a 12-hour shift.
Overnight, without the 3am check
Overnight leaks almost always start at the sides, not the middle. The Super Pad's leak-proof layer carries through the wings, so the edges hold where a disposable gives out. The extra length reaches further back for the way you actually sleep.
Lay a fresh Super Pad before bed and most women get the whole night on one.
No more rashes, and not a single leak on a 12-hour shift.
What the pad is made of
Two layers, doing two jobs. The side against your skin is bamboo terry: soft, breathable, and quick to pull fluid away so you are not sitting in dampness. The outer layer is a leak-proof backing that wraps through the wings. There is no plastic top sheet against your skin, and nothing is bleached or perfumed.
Dark side or light side
The absorbent side comes dark or light with the pad you pick. The Super Pad has a dark absorbent side, which hides staining and looks clean wash after wash. The Maxi Pad has a light one, which lets you see your flow clearly. The colour does not change how much they hold, it is about what you would rather look at.
How many you need
On your two heaviest days you will likely change two or three times. A set of pads covers a full cycle if you wash mid-week. If you would rather wash less often, pair a set with a few singles. Most women start with one set and add a second later, once they see how well the first holds up. Each set comes with a carry bag for the used pad while you are out.
One set vs. five years of disposables
| Reusable Super Pad | Disposables | Period underwear | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy-day absorbency | About 4 tampons' worth | Baseline | Varies by pair |
| Overnight | Edge to edge, through the wings | Leaks at the sides | Good, but a whole pair to change |
| Changing on the go | Swap the pad, keep your underwear | Swap the pad | Change the whole pair |
| On the skin | Breathable bamboo terry | Plastic top sheet | Built into the garment |
| Lifespan | 5+ years | Single use | 1 to 2 years typically |
| Cost over 5 years | A set or two | Hundreds of pads | Several pairs, replaced often |
A heavy cycle can run through twenty disposables or more. Over the 5+ years one set lasts, that is hundreds of pads and a few hundred dollars in the bin, for something you throw away every month. The set is $49.95, and you wash it instead.

Shop heavy-flow padsYour heavy-flow questions
Which pad should I use for heavy or overnight flow?
The Super Pad is the most absorbent. It holds roughly four tampons' worth, runs 12 inches edge to edge, and protects through the wings. The Maxi Pad holds about three tampons' worth, which covers everyday and moderate days. Most women keep both and switch by the day.
How often will I change on a heavy day?
On your heaviest days, twice or three times. That is about the same as a good disposable, but without the rash. Lighter days, once or twice.
Will they hold all night without leaking?
Overnight leaks start at the sides, and that is exactly where the leak-proof layer carries through the wings. Lay a fresh Super Pad at bedtime and most women get the whole night on one.
Can I use these for postpartum bleeding?
Yes. The Super Pad handles postpartum recovery flow, and its dark absorbent side hides staining through those weeks. Check with your provider on timing after birth.
How many pads do I need for a full cycle?
On your two heaviest days you will change two or three times. A set covers a full cycle if you wash mid-week, or add a few singles if you would rather wash less often.
How long do reusable pads last?
Each pad lasts 5+ years with normal washing. A lot of cloth pads give out in two or three. Over that time one set replaces hundreds of disposables.
Is the washing as bad as it sounds?
A cold rinse straight after use, then a normal wash with similar colours. No soaking, and your regular detergent is fine. Full steps are on our how to wash reusable pads guide.
Do reusable pads smell?
Bamboo terry breathes far better than a plastic disposable, so odour really is not an issue. If you ever notice anything, a splash of white vinegar in the wash sorts it out.
What are they made of, and do they have wing snaps?
Bamboo terry sits against your skin: soft, breathable, with no plastic top sheet and nothing bleached or perfumed. Every pad fastens with wing snaps, so it stays put without adhesive.
