Liners How-To Guide

See all the different ways that you can use Lunapad Liners with your Lunapads and Deluxe Lunapanties.
Changing liners allows you to easily keep your pads or panties as fresh as you want, as often as you need. You can use all sizes of liners with products that have the ric rac bands. ie: Lunapads Pads (but not with Pantyliners) as well as with Deluxe Lunapanties (but not Regular Lunapanties) Add more than one liner for exta absorption.

Please note: Liners are not designed to be used without a Lunapad or Deluxe Lunapanties.

Using Winged Liners:

Maxi Pad with Maxi Wing Liner – for average to heavy flow

My "welcome to womanhood" presents for my nieces

I got my first period when I was 14 years old. A bit late compare to my friends that time. They got theirs when they were 11-13 years old. But now a days it seems that the young girls got their period even earlier. I heard that some girls got their first at the age of 9!

Since I start to converted to Cloth pads last year, I think I really should spread the news to other women and friends. I really love cloth menstrual pads and never even think to change back to disposable ever again. I enjoy every second of it, the softness, the texture, the fabric choices, even the laundry part!

So I thought , I should really introduce this to my own nieces! I have 4 lovely nieces. Abby ( 14), Daphne ( 12) , Zoe ( 10) , and Jade ( 7). Abby got her period last year and I gave her a set of teen pads and wetbags as a gift to welcome her to the womanhood. She is thrilled with the pads , the prints, and the comfort. She wash her pads her self , and no complaining and she did a great job according to her mom.

My 2nd eldest niece is Daphne , She is 12 and just got her period a few months back. She came here to visit me in KK during CNY, and got her period while she was here. What a perfect time to start, so this Aunty Sandra asked her to choose any of the cloth pads I have instock, plus she can order any prints she wants and I will have it custom made for her ( see that is the luck to have an aunt who run online store for cloth pads :)) She also got wetbags to bring the pads from school, and also Scarlet Secret!
She was so excited and love the cute prints and colors. She didn't feel gross to wash it and the best thing was she even sms her best friend about this, and asked me if her friend wants it, can I send it over to Jakarta. :)

Her start up stash included: wing regular pads , heavy pads for night, Endura pads for her sport day at school, panty liners. And as soon as I got my Lunapads in stock she will have that too!:)

So after this my next niece that will embrace the womanhood will be Zoe! :) then I will have t a few years of gap before Jade's turn!

I think it is such a great things to start for teenager. The less they will be exposed to chemical stuffs is better. I started late, but still better than nothing! :)

I think those teenager girls can really inspire us more. If a teen girl can do it and be responsible to do their washing and don't even feel gross , why would a woman like us still hesitate to change to cloths menstrual pads?

You are more than worth it.

Our mission is to help women have healthier and more positive experiences of their menstrual cycles, and by extension, their bodies overall. Our team is made up of a passionate group of gals who believe that using natural menstrual products is a creative and empowering way to honor and care for ourselves and the planet.

Why switch to natural menstrual products?

We hope this information will help you learn about the various alternatives to tampons and disposable maxi pads when you are thinking about your period. We have offered information here about the many alternative menstrual products we offer here at Lunapads, as well as links for more information. You may also want to read our resources section for more information about alternative menstrual products and links to other online resources.

More comfortable

Made with 100% cotton (pretty prints and colors, or organic), Lunapads and Lunapanties are far softer and more breathable than disposable pads and pantyliners. They don’t have the sticky, sweaty feeling of disposables, and there’s no glue to get stuck in uncomfortable places. Most of our customers tell us that Lunapads are far more comfortable than they had expected, even if they were not previously pad users.

Healthier

The DivaCup is made from medical grade silicone and won’t dry you out the way tampons do. Because the cup collects rather than absorbs menstrual flow, it is not associated with any risk for contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome. Using Lunapads and the DivaCup also means less worry about irritation and infections caused by plastics and chemical residues found in most disposable products. To learn more about health issues associated with disposable pads and tampons, read this article about Tampon Safety written by the National Research Center for Women and Families.

Savings

Natural products’ reusability will save you money as well as trips to the drugstore. Switching to reusable products will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over time. Click here for a more detailed explanation.

Greener

Like recycling bottles and newspapers, washing Lunapads or rinsing out the DivaCup is a little more work than throwing away your used pads and tampons. But with over 14 billion pads, tampons and applicators going into North American landfills every year, it’s a small but important way of taking personal responsibility for a massive environmental problem.

Happier!

Many of our customers report that they come to enjoy caring for their Lunapads and DivaCup, and that it helps them feel more positive about their cycles and in touch with their bodies overall.

It may sound strange if you’re new to the idea, but after using your new natural menstrual products over time, they start to feel like old friends. There is something very gentle, intimate and comforting about using them every month. After a while, the idea of going to a drugstore to buy pads or tampons seems like an unimaginable waste of time and money, when you could just be spending time taking care of yourself instead.
