Cloth pads are a wonderful alternative to disposable products. They are very comfortable, easy to use, provide dependable protection, cost effective, and earth friendly. Cloth pads can be used by women and teens even on their heaviest days. Many women report a decrease in cramping and reduction of flow when they switch from tampons to cloth. When you choose cloth, you are reducing environmental waste, supporting small business and women's industry!
Choose from a wide variety of styles and sizes to maximize fit and comfort. Our Contour Tab pads are turned and top stitched for clean, non-fray edging. Winged pads are serged to reduce bulk at seams.

We use a variety of premium materials in constructing our products.
  • For the layer next to your skin, choose from decorative quilter's flannels, cotton velours, hand-dyed organic cotton, natural undyed fibers, or luxurious bamboo velour.
  • The absorbent center may be made from organic or standard cotton.
  • The wetness barrier can be premium quality polyester fleece or polyurethane laminate (PUL).

Our products are created and packaged in a clean smoke-free environment.

When properly cared for, your pads will last many years. You can store your soiled pads prior to washing either wet or dry. We recommend the dry method, particularly if you have small children to whom buckets pose a drowning hazard. Presoaking in cold water will reduce staining on light colored pads.

Wet Storage Method
Keep a covered bucket or pot in your washroom. Fill it halfway with cool water (you can add baking soda and/or essential oils to control odor). Toss soiled pads into the water to soak and change water daily.

Dry Storage Method
Store soiled pads in an empty covered bucket or waterproof cloth bag in your washroom.

At the end of your cycle, empty bucket into your washer, add some towels to make a full load, and wash with detergent and cold or warm water for the longest cycle (gentle agitation, if available).

You can wash in hot, but hot water often sets stains and is hard on fabric. We recommend primarily warm or cold washing. You may wish to rinse occasionally with hot water to sanitize and remove detergent build-up. Hot washes should also be used when you are fighting vaginal irritation or infection. Please do not use chlorine bleach on your pads. It will quickly deteriorate the fabric and is highly toxic to all living things (including you!).

Line or machine dry at moderate temperatures. Do not use fabric softeners in the wash or in dryer sheet form. Fabric softeners will cause your pads to repel rather then absorb moisture. You can lay clean damp pads in a sunny spot for Mother Nature's natural stain remover!

We are a home-based family business. The Essence of Eve has been serving women since 2007. We began sewing and selling online in 2003 with PattyNaps.com, our line of boutique children's clothing and cloth diapers. We are pleased to support Kiva.org. Kiva allows us, with help from our customers, to fund small business loans for women entrepreneurs in developing countries.  As these loans are repaid (as they almost always are) we can then redirect those funds to new developing businesses. You can visit The Essence of Eve's lender page here.

Our store policies, shipping, and payment information can be found on our Policies page.
