How do I care for my pads?
Cloth pads are soaked and rinsed daily for the duration of the cycle, and because the proteins of the blood don’t adhere to the fabric when it is wet, the soaked pads can be washed in the laundry and dried before the next period.
Taking care of your pads is very simple - when you soak as you go. Soak used pads in a bucket. Refresh water daily. When your cycle is finished, simply wash pads by hand or in the washer. Pads can be machine or line dried. Sunlight is an effective natural sanitizer. When you are away from home, put the rinsed pad in a waterproof bag (diaper or ziploc) until you reach your soak.

How do they work?
Reddy’s In-Panty pads are held in place by your panties - no ties or fastenings mean no bulk or discomfort.
Reddy’s Panty-Free pads are worn with an elastic belt that is fitted to your body - a snug fit ensures ultimate comfort and protection.
Reddy’s pads are made of absorbent cotton flannel and are designed to hold their shape and stay in place. With those considerations resolved, you only change your pad when you are ready for a new pad.

Do Reddy's leak? How reliable are they?
The design of the pad, with its anatomical fit, highly absorbent layers and strategic stitching is extremely efficient. If you chose the right absorbency for your flow, the pads should not leak at all.
There are 3 factors that contribute to leakage.

•     Insufficient absorbency
•     Pads losing their shape
•     Pads moving around

 Leakage happens down the sides of the pads because our legs squish the pads out of shape. By quilting the pads – literally stitching the padding through it’s full thickness at enough places along the pads - the pads hold their shape constantly, both while wearing and washing.

Another factor is pads moving … the snugness of the belt holds the Panty Free pad in place – when you walk, sleep, run, do yoga, whatever. The belts are made of firm elastics (in beautiful colors) and are adjustable to accommodate shape variations. By adjusting the belt to a snug but not tight position, the pads suspend off the belt and it feels like you are not wearing anything. There is no constricted feeling when your body craves comfort. The In Panty pads hold in place because of the length of the pad.

What is 'blood money"?
Many people feel the high price being paid for disposables - both economically and environmentally - is profiting only a few.
With 85 million menstruating women in North America spending over $20 billion a year on hygiene products, big corporations are invested in our bodies. These companies are responsible for much of the misinformation that keeps us from feeling positive about our bodies.
