Before you buy
The things everyone wants to ask
Will it leak?
Each style is rated for a flow level, so you can match a pair to your day. Most customers get 8 to 12 hours, and many keep a heavier pair for overnight.
Is it hygienic?
Yes. Rinse in cold water after wearing, then hand wash with mild soap, the same care you would give any underwear.
How many do I need?
Three to five covers a full cycle. Most first-time buyers start with three, which is why our value packs come in threes.
What if the size is wrong?
Tell us and we will help you exchange it. If you are between sizes, go up.
Is it worth the price?
A pair costs about the same as a few months of disposables and lasts 2 to 3 years.
How is it delivered?
By The Courier Guy, in plain packaging. Delivery is free on orders over R450.
We Care
Period poverty keeps girls out of school
Through the Mongato Foundation we get reusable products to girls and women who would otherwise go without. One pair lasts two to three years, which changes the arithmetic entirely.
