Reusable cloth pads are healthier and environmentally safe option to manage menstruation effectively. Being made of cotton and flannel cloths, these ensure proper air circulation to the genitalia, maintaining the natural environment. We advocate use of reusable cloth pads as they are healthy, economic and environment-friendly – all at the same time.
