It would be ideal to own three to six Palesa Pads if possible. This will allow you to wear one pad and keep a second pad as a back-up, while you wash and dry your other pad/s. There’s no need to wash your pads in a washing machine but if you would like to do this and only want to wash your pads once during your monthly cycle, then it’s better to have 12 to 15 pads.
STEP 1: Wrap the pad around the panty with the soft side against your body.
STEP 2: Snap the wings closed and wear for up to 12 hours, depending on flow.
STEP 3: Remove the soiled pad, fold and close, then take it home to wash.
STEP 1: Soak the pad, with the soiled side down in cold, soapy water for up to an hour. Remove pads and discard the dirty water in the toilet. Rub with laundry soap to remove any small marks and wash thoroughly.
STEP 2: Soak again in clean, cold water with 2 teaspoons of white spirit vinegar, for at least 30 minutes. Wring and rinse until the water runs clear.
STEP 3: Hang up to dry near an open window, out of direct sunlight to prevent damage to the waterproof layer. Should you wish to hang them in the sun, you can do so but only for an hour.
STEP 1: Pre-soaking of pads is recommended, pre-wash cycle on the machine is sufficient. Wash separately from other laundry items.
STEP 2: Use washing powder as normal, but use white spirit vinegar instead of fabric softener. Wash in a full cold-water cycle, not a quick cycle. If there are any marks after washing, soak the pads again or rub them with laundry soap.
STEP 3: Hang up to dry near an open window, out of direct sunlight to prevent damage to the waterproof layer. Should you wish to hang them in the sun, you can do so but only for an hour.

J
The drying clip is so convenient and a must have, would recommend. Very impressed!
C
The drying clip is a must- have! It makes drying the pads so much easier. The wind often blows my laundry off the washing line so I bought the drying clip to prevent my clean pads falling onto the dirty floor. It works wonders
J
A genius idea - I'm impressed!
F
It's good to hang the pads on, it's easy to use and hygienic
T
I'm one of the people that swore I would never use a cloth pad.
But I thought I should give Palesa pads a chance and the pads blew my mind so much so that I placed my 2nd order immediately after day 1 of using them. There was absolutely no smell, I had very minimal cramps, no leaks and they were very easy to wash & zero stains after washing and very comfortable to wear. The drying clip is awesome when drying the pads after washing, a great invention. I can't stop bragging about them......every sis needs to have a pack! Thank you for this great invention I enjoyed my period ❤️
