How many hours can you wear reusable pads?

Reusable cloth pads typically can be worn for 4 to 6 hours depending on your flow. For light flow days, some people may wear them up to 8 hours, but it’s best to change them regularly to stay fresh and prevent odor or irritation.

How Often Should You Change Reusable Pads?

  • Every 4 to 6 hours during moderate or heavy flow

  • Every 6 to 8 hours during light flow or overnight (if your flow is light)

  • Always change immediately if you feel uncomfortable or the pad is fully soaked

Tips:

  • Wash pads thoroughly after use with mild detergent and air dry to keep them hygienic and lasting longer.

  • Having several reusable pads helps so you can swap out easily throughout the day.
