Reusable cloth pads are an alternative to disposable sanitary napkins. They come with wings on the side that can be snapped to the underwear to keep the pad in place.

Reusable sanitary pads are made of high quality cotton, polyester, and contain a leak-proof layer.

Soch cloth pads generally contain 4 different layers:

Most Soch cloth pads come with a leak-proof layer that ensures that you can go about your day without worrying about leaks.

No. Cloth, by itself, is not unhygienic. It is the way one uses it that makes all the difference. When you are using cloth/cloth pads for your sanitary needs, you need to make sure that they are fully dry before you use them. You should preferably sun-dry them in a well-ventilated space.

Yes. If used and cleaned as instructed, cloth pads are absolutely safe to use. Cloth and products made of cloth, like Soch period panty and Soch cloth pads, are not only soft and comfortable to use, but are also economical and eco-friendly. They are free from chlorine, dioxins, pesticides, harmful dyes, fragrances, and allergens that are otherwise found in disposable sanitary napkins.

First, cloth pads do not contain any chemicals. They are soft and comfortable to use and do not cause itching, infection, or rashes. They also do not create any non-biodegradable waste. They work out cheaper in the long run; so they are light on your pocket as well.

If maintained well and cared for, Soch cloth pads last for at least 3-4 years as each pad can be washed and reused upto 70 times.

The difference between Soch Cloth Pad and Soch Cloth Pad Quick Dry is in terms of the material. While SochPad is made of 100% cotton, SochPad Quick Dry is made of 50% polyester and 50% cotton, which makes it easier to dry.

While the regular version can be used by most women, the petite version is for young girls and teenagers. The difference is in the width of the cloth pad. If you use underwear with a narrow crotch, you may want to go for the petite version; if you use regular underwear, you may want to choose the regular version.

Roughly, if you are using only cloth pads, you would need a mix of 3-4 large pads for heavy flow days, 3-4 medium size pads for regular flow days, and 3-4 pantyliners or small pads for light flow days. This will ensure that you have enough cloth pads to use, while some are in the wash.

This would depend on your body size as well as your flow. For beginners, we recommend a full-cycle kit that contains a combination of pads of various sizes. KitsWe also recommend you go through our Pads Quiz to find out which cloth pads would suit you best.

You should change your cloth pad once every 4-6 hours, or sooner if you have heavy flow.

Absolutely. You can use our large-sized pads, L size in Petite and L and XL sizes in Regular versions, (L, XL, P-L) for postpartum bleeding. You can also try our Soch period panty with extra inserts.

On an average, if maintained well, SochPads should last you for 70+ washes.

Before you try the SochPads for the first time, we recommend you wash them according to our clean & care instructions.

No. No matter how light your flow is, we recommend you change your cloth pad once every 4-6 hours for hygiene reasons.

First, soak the used pad in a mug of cold soapy water for 30 minutes. This should remove the blood from the pad. Next, rinse by hand with mild soap and water. Do not brush. Dry the washed pad in sunlight. Do not fold or keep it on a flat surface. Hang it straight.

No. The fibres of the cloth will come out if roughly brushed. Hand-rinsing is the best option.

Dettol, fabric softners or other disinfectants are not recommended. You can, however, use mild soaps and essential oils.

Occasionally, you can machine-wash the pads. However, we do not recommend it on a regular basis as it may reduce the life of cloth pads.

Rinsing directly in hot water sets stains. Therefore, we recommend you first remove the stains with cold water.

Between cycles, we recommend you store the cloth pads in a clean and dry place after they are fully dry from washing.

If you are not at home, carry a ziploc cover/pouch with you to store your used pad. The used pad can be folded to make it smaller.

Though we ideally recommend sun-drying the cloth pad, at least ensure that the cloth pad is entirely dry before you use it. If sun-drying is not an option, you should dry the cloth pads in a well-ventilated place. We also recommend the Quick Dry pads for the same.
