Why consider a change: Period products are not awesome when it comes to waste, plastic content, and use of virgin forests for paper products. A reusable pad can save money over time, cost, and safety from chemical fragrances and ingredients next to your fancy bits.

The Product: This mini pad is especially engineered with a high-performance wicking cotton top-layer that quickly draws fluid away from your body and into the absorbent core. Aisle brand liners also feature a leak-proof backing that extends throughout the wings, providing added security for light flow, spotting or daily leaks. The absorbency of a Aisle brand Liner outperforms a comparably-sized disposable pantyliner.

Comes packaged in a paperboard box (no plastic shrink wrap and individual wrapping like typical pads). Reusable for 5 years or more, with no added chemicals, adhesives or fragrances. Made in Canada.

Dimensions: 7" (17.8cm) long + 2.5" (7cm) wide when fastened (fastens with a snap)

The Company: Made in Canada in Vancouver through this awesome woman-owned company, formerly known as Lunapads.
