Here at Hey Girls, we pride our range on its sustainability and easy-care ethos. Cloth pads are a great alternative for anyone who wants to have some options in their period product collection. Whether you\u2019re not ready for tampons or just prefer to wear pads for a break from internal products, our bamboo reusable pads will keep you leak-free and cosy! They have even been described as \u201ca dressing gown for your lady bits\u201d! So, let\u2019s find out how to take care of our pads!<\/p>\n<p>Hey Girls reusable pads are made from high-tech bamboo fibres and are available in day or night absorbencies. They both have the same levels of absorbency, but the overnight pads are a bit longer to prevent any pesky leaks when you\u2019re catching some beauty sleep. Both day and night come with a matching wet-bag, which can be used to store your spare pads, or to keep any used pads tucked away when you\u2019re out and about. The following steps can be applied to both day and night designs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>PREP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Like any reusable product, it\u2019s always clever to give them a wash before first use \u2013 just like you would if you were to buy a new pair of knickers.<\/li>\n<li>Wear the plain bamboo charcoal side next to your body and the pattern side against your underwear.<\/li>\n<li>The wings wrap around the gusset of your underwear, and the buttons pop together to form a secure seal.<\/li>\n<li>Once your pad is in place, you\u2019re good to go! You can wear the pads for the amount of time as you would a normal disposable pad, so depending on your flow you\u2019ll know how often you need to change.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re out and need to change your pad, simply fold the pad inwards and reseal with the buttons then pop into your wet-bag to keep them safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png 1024w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png 300w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png 768w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png 800w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.14.32.png 1303w\" alt=\"Pads on pants\" width=\"1024\" height=\"176\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.07.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1009px) 100vw, 1009px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.07.png 1009w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.07.png 300w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.07.png 768w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.07.png 800w\" alt=\"fold pads\" width=\"1009\" height=\"312\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>WASH<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After you\u2019ve worn your pad and you\u2019re ready to wash them, it\u2019s always a good idea to pre-rinse them with natural soap or cold water to help prevent staining. Soak the pads and ring them dry until the water runs clear.<\/li>\n<li>You can hand or machine wash the pads, stick to a 40\u2019 cycle and avoid using heavy fabric conditioner \u2013 this can affect the absorbency of the material inside the pads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>DRY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After they\u2019ve been in a rinse, stretch each side of the pad to the opposite direction so it can revert back to its original shape.<\/li>\n<li>Air drying is recommended \u2013 this is a tumble free zone!<\/li>\n<li>A top tip is to wrap your pads round a bathroom radiator if you have one, as this is a great way to keep your pads in shape and help them dry quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png 1024w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png 300w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png 768w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png 800w, https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-16.15.27.png 1171w\" alt=\"wash pads\" width=\"1024\" height=\"345\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>FAQ\u2019S<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How long are your reusable pads?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our cloth pads come in day, which are 22cm long and 18cm wide and overnight, which are 27cm long and 18cm wide.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What are your reusable pads made from?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our pads are paraben free and vegan friendly.
