Why wool?

Wool is a hydrophobic fibre, it repels moisture, so naturally it can act as an insulating layer in menstrual pads. You will notice this quickly during use, they will be dry and clean even if the cotton pad happens to soak through in places.
Bacteria have no way of surviving in conditions where they have no opportunity to multiply. And wool has no conditions for bacterial growth. That’s why the pad base does not need to be washed after each use, just hung up for a few/several hours.
Wool is a very breathable material and has thermoregulatory properties - such pads will also be ideal in summer, on hot days.

Cotton pad inserts and boosters
The pad inserts and boosters are made of smooth and soft GOTS certified 100% cotton. They are attached to the wool pad base with nickel-free and stainless steel metal snaps. The insert pads have wings for attaching them to underwear (just like a disposable pad with wings).
They should be washed several times before first use to achieve the correct size by shrinking, only then will they fit the woollen pad base.

Pad liner - 18 cm 3 layers of cotton fabric (to be used on a daily basis if needed, with menstrual cups). It is likely that you will not need a wool pad for it.
Mini - 18 cm 4 layers (beginning of period or end)
Regular - 23 cm 5 layers (for lighter to moderate bleeding)
Maxi - 23 cm 6 layers (for heavier bleeding, also overnight if bleeding is not heavy)
Large - 31 cm 6 layers (for overnight and postpartum use)
Booster - 18 cm 3 layers, without wings. Used to reinforce Regular, Maxi and Large size pad inserts as needed by clipping it into the wool pad base underneath the insert you want to reinforce.

Woollen pad base
The pad base are made from two layers of 100% merino undyed and unbleached wool. The wool fabric I use to sew the pads is naturally rich in lanolin, so it will protect the underwear well from leaking.

The new pad base are already treated with lanolin to further enhance the water repellent and self-cleaning properties of the wool. The pad base you receive will be slightly sticky from the lanolin, which is the effect of lanolin treatment and is completely normal. The stickiness will disappear after a few uses.

Which woolen pad base s for which cotton pad inserts?
- Mini fits Mini pad inserts and liners.
- Regular/Maxi fits Regular and Maxi pad inserts.
- Large for Large pad inserts

How many mestrual pads will you need?
Woollen menstrual pads are economical and you won't need many.
You only need to have as many cotton pad inserts as many changes you could have within about 3 days. You will need to assess for yourself how many and what kind of pad inserts you need as everyone's period goes through differently. You may need a few boosters for the most intense bleeding times.
Wool pads don’t need to be washed after each use and therefore you only need to have two of each size.

New cotton pad inserts are a few cm longer than wool pad bases, they will shrink to the correct length after a few washes. The higher the washing temperature and possibly tumble drying, the quicker they will fit the pad bases.
For your convenience, the wool pads you will receive are washed and treated with lanolin, which will enhance the insulating and self-cleaning properties of the wool. Therefore, you may see creases in the wool, they will be slightly sticky to the touch from the lanolin what will fade after few uses. You can use them immediately after purchase or if you prefer, you can gently hand wash them again.
During your period you only change the cotton pad insert, reuse the wool pad base throughout the day and hang it up to air out at night, washing it only when it gets dirty. It is a good idea to rinse the cotton pad insert in cold water immediately after use to prevent blood stains. After rinsing, wring it out and put it away in a designated container in the bathroom. If you are away from home roll the pad insert up and fasten it with press studs. It is a good idea to have a small impermeable toiletry bag or sachet for storing pads while away from home.

Hang the wool pad base up overnight to regenerate in an airy place. Wool is self-cleaning and if there is no dirt on it then you can use the same pad base again in the morning. The wool will have cleaned itself during the airing time and its neutral smell will return.

On menstrual days, wear well-fitting underwear in your size, then the pads will be stable and will not move.
Cotton pad inserts wash no later than after 48 hours. If they have not been rinsed immediately after use, rinse them before washing. Always rinse in cold water, then blood stains will not remain on them or won’t be as intense. For washing, I recommend Clovin Septon disinfectant powder or any other similar. Wash on a cotton programme at the temperature recommended by the powder manufacturer, it can be between 40 and 60 degrees. It is acceptable to wash at 90 or 95 degrees occasionally.

If stains remain, they are not dirt but only pigment and you can use the pads safely. You can wash out the stains with a coconut or galas soap. You can also effectively use sodium percarbonate. Before washing, soak the cotton pad inserts in a solution of sodium percarbonate and hot water (approx. 2 tablespoons per 3 litres of water) and leave them for about 2 hours. Then wash them in the washing machine as usual.

Can be tumble dried.

Wool pad bases wash after the period or in the meantime if necessary. Wash by hand in lukewarm water up to 30 degrees with wool detergent. Rinse in water at a similar temperature. Squeeze them into a towel after washing, then they will dry much quicker.
Dry away from the heat source, never on a radiator or in a tumble dryer. Wet wool is sensitive to sudden changes - water or ambient temperature, and if you don't follow the above recommendations, wool can become felted, shrink and won't fit the absorbent parts. Wash only when needed, wool does not like frequent washing but also does not require it. Washing wool frequently can result in felting in time.

If you have ever used cloth nappies, you can follow the advice given with them. Here you will find detailed instructions with a link to a list of recommended washing powders for cloth nappies, which will adequately destroy microorganisms.
In a nutshell, all cotton is airy, hygroscopic, anti-allergenic and natural, but....

Organic cotton, like regular industrial cotton, is a plant-based raw material, but the way they are grown and the differences in their processing make them really different.

Organic cotton comes from crops that are not treated with toxic chemicals. Organic fertilisers are used instead of chemical ones and chemical pesticides. The plant is not protected by chemicals, so it has to develop its own defence mechanisms, which makes it a sustainable raw material and ensures that the products made from it retain their shape and appearance for a long time.

No chemicals are used to produce a cotton fabric, as is the case with some other naturally sourced materials. The white cotton balls are picked from the cotton plants, cleaned of their leaves and seeds by hand or mechanically, and then combed, pressed and twisted. This is how the yarn is created, which is then knitted or woven into airy cotton fabrics.
It is worth remembering that organic cotton is highly hygroscopic - it will absorb 24 to 27 times its weight in water! And interestingly, wet organic cotton is very durable, so frequent and harsh washing will not harm it.

GOTS-certified organic cotton is pure, chemical-free, healthy and safe for the youngest children, perfect for sensitive skin and ideal for allergy sufferers prone to atopic dermatitis.

On organic cotton plantations, controls are applied to respect workers' rights.

***
Due to its high content of natural oils, organic cotton nappies reach maximum absorbency later than normal industrial cotton, and may need up to 7-8 washes to reach full absorbency.
