Product Information

Doesn't leak (39%) ' Being someone who experiences heavier flows, I have had so many nights were I haven't had to change bedding or rush to change my underwear etc because they have been so absorbent and helpful.' Office of the Commissioner. “The Facts on Tampons—and How to Use Them Safely.” U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/facts-tampons-and-how-use-them-safely. Accessed 21 June 2022. Mini Flo Reusable Period Pads are a lightweight daily liner for those barely-there, no-drama period days. Also, perfect for bladder leaks, and non-period days when you just want to feel a little fresher. Sanitary pads might seem a bit retro and remind you of our first period, but they’ve recently had an eco revamp to make them – dare we say – cool, and a great option for making your menstrual cycle as green as you can. Of course, “heavy flow” can also just mean you’re having more bleeding than usual for you on any given day. Most women experience this during their period—it’s usually in the beginning—and it’s good to be prepared so you're not constantly swapping out lighter pads to try to control your flow.

Some reviewers note that these pads tend to bunch, so it is important to apply the adhesive part carefully to your underwear.

As above, because compostability in the period product category is a new and still debated topic, we recommend you dispose of your tampons in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. That's much less than mainstream products, whose biodegradation takes over 100 years! Most (but not all) brands tell you the number of tampons or pads their products are equivalent to. Trying out a light, medium and heavy option may help you to figure out what you need more pairs of. Cost

This will make it easier for you to manage your account & make any edits once you've hopped on the FLO-wagon! The tampon wrappers are 100% recyclable (to be replaced by compostable, plant-based wrappers in Summer 2021). In December 2021, we surveyed users of period pants to find out what they liked and disliked, and how they rated the brands they'd used on factors such as leak protection, comfort and value for money. Some are better at providing information on sustainable fabrics, their material's provenance and their supply chain. Some use certified organic fabrics, or recycled fabrics, which tend to be better for the environment. There are some concerns around silver-based anti-microbial treatments in some period pants potentially impacting the environment when washed out into waterways. For more on this, read our full investigation into silver in period pants .Our Mini Flo Reusable Period Pads are a lightweight daily liner for those barely-there, no-drama period days. Also, perfect for bladder leaks, and non-period days when you just want to feel a little fresher. If you like to use pads, having options around that are specially designed for a heavy flow can be a lifesaver. They can give you more free time between pad changes and make you less worried about leaks—always clutch when it’s that time.

We recommend you set your charge date to at least 7 days before your period is due, to make sure that the products get to you on time. Play smart, not hard! 😉💕We could only include user insights for brands where we received 50 or more responses in our survey, so while our list above covers the more common brands in the UK, there are some options that aren't featured.
