How do I wash Luna Pads?
Soak or rinse Lunapads in cold water prior to putting them in the washing machine with your regular detergent. Some women add a cleaning agent (such as tea tree oil, Dr. Bronner's soap, or just their regular laundry soap, to name a few) in the soaking process, but this is optional. You can wash them in warm water with your towels and sheets if you don't want to run a separate load – they may also be washed by hand and air-dried. They will shrink somewhat if you put them in the dryer, as they are made from cotton, but it makes them nice and soft! Tip: to get your Lunapads and Lunapanties “extra” clean, every few months throw them in with your regular load when you're not using them (i.e. mid-cycle).
Organic cotton Lunapads are far more prone to staining than darker-colored regular cotton Lunapads. Please remember that stains are simply that: stains – Lunapads are menstrual pads, after all – and are not harmful in any way. If you're very concerned about staining there are many effective non-chlorine based cleaning products available at your local natural foods store. We strongly discourage using chlorine bleach or fabric softeners as it will degrade the quality of the pads and harm the environment.
Are Lunapads sanitary?
Absolutely. Like underwear, Lunapads and Lunapanties are made from cotton and worn outside of the body. Menstrual flow is a natural, harmless substance that is in no way unsanitary. As with preventing leaks, one needs to use common sense: Lunapads should be changed at least daily, and be washed and dried as directed.

Diva Cup
Reusable, internally-worn menstrual cups have been trusted by women since the 1930s as safe and reliable alternatives to tampons. The DivaCup is made of 100% hypoallergenic silicone, is reusable for years, and has a one year money back guarantee. The DivaCup is cleared for marketing with the U.S. FDA and holds a current Health Canada license.
The DivaCup is great tampon alternative. Reusable, safe, easy to use, and hypo-allergenic (made of medical-grade silicone), it's even suitable for women with latex allergies. Choose Size 1 if you are under 30 and have never had a vaginal or c-section birth, or Size 2 if you are over 30 or have had a vaginal or c-section birth.

Why switch?
Why switch to natural menstrual products?
We hope this information will help you learn about the various alternatives to tampons and disposable maxi pads when you are thinking about your period. We have offered information here about the many alternative menstrual products we offer here at Lunapads, as well as links for more information.
More comfortable
Made with 100% cotton (pretty prints and colors, or organic), Lunapads and Lunapanties are far softer and more breathable than disposable pads and pantyliners. They don’t have the sticky, sweaty feeling of disposables, and there’s no glue to get stuck in uncomfortable places. Most of our customers tell us that Lunapads are far more comfortable than they had expected, even if they were not previously pad users.
Healthier
The DivaCup is made from medical grade silicone and won’t dry you out the way tampons do. Because the cup collects rather than absorbs menstrual flow, it is not associated with any risk for contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome. Using Lunapads and the DivaCup also means less worry about irritation and infections caused by plastics and chemical residues found in most disposable products. To learn more about health issues associated with disposable pads and tampons, read this article about Tampon Safety written by the National Research Center for Women and Families.
Savings
Natural products’ reusability will save you money as well as trips to the drugstore. Switching to reusable products will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over time.
Greener
Like recycling bottles and newspapers, washing Lunapads or rinsing out the DivaCup is a little more work than throwing away your used pads and tampons. But with over 14 billion pads, tampons and applicators going into North American landfills every year, it’s a small but important way of taking personal responsibility for a massive environmental problem.
Happier!
Many of our customers report that they come to enjoy caring for their Lunapads and DivaCup, and that it helps them feel more positive about their cycles and in touch with their bodies overall.
It may sound strange if you’re new to the idea, but after using your new natural menstrual products over time, they start to feel like old friends. There is something very gentle, intimate and comforting about using them every month. After a while, the idea of going to a drugstore to buy pads or tampons seems like an unimaginable waste of time and money, when you could just be spending time taking care of yourself instead.
