Buying Hannahpad 4 years ago, was the best decision I could have made for my taking care of my needs during menstruation. After using the pads for just 2 months, I discovered I was pregnant with my fifth baby. Postpartum bleeding was navigated with ease with my Hannahpads - they easily absorbed the heavy flow that came after the first  few days of my baby's arrival, and then they were my trusted companion until my bleeding ended a few weeks later. I did not have to worry about leaks - either on my underwear, my clothes or my bedding. After such heavy usage, I was not holding my breath about how long my pads would last, but I'm delighted to report that my original purchase 4 years ago has stood the test of time and are only now beginning to show signs of wear and needing replacement. It brings such satisfaction knowing that I am wearing pure organic cotton next to the most intimate and delicate parts of my body, and that my monthly cycle is no longer contributing to the landfill/ environmental issues that disposable pads/ tampons pose. Not only that, I am saving money in the long run - these pads last!

Eco-friendly menstrual products are something very close to my heart because I believe in saving Mother Earth one day at a time and the biggest contribution I felt I could make was with my menstrual products. I’m a HUGE fan of menstrual cups and I have 2 eco-friendly pads that I bought from a local store. They come in handy on the days your flow is super heavy. 

I was super excited to find Hannahpad on Instagram and made it my mission to stalk them thoroughly, especially since they are based in SOUTH AFRICA! Finally we are upgrading in this country!
What I won: I recently won a giveaway hosted by Hannahpad and the prize I won was absolutely incredible.

My prize included the following:
A gorgeous printed storage pouch.

  • 5 pads in the following sizes: pantyliner, small, medium, large, ultra overnight.
  • A few ziplock bags to store your used pads when you’re not at home, until you can wash them.

Hannahpad was the first cloth pad I ever tried since making the changes from disposables last year. I am glad that hannahpad was my first pads as it made the transition easy and comfortable.  I love them.  They feel so comfortable,  are ultra thin and yet absorbs all levels of flow.  I have a full stash.  I love the lengths of them as it gives me complete coverage. I have bought others but they seem thicker for more heavier flows. With hannahpad  I find the pad ultra thin and so breathable especially having your period during summer when it is so hot.  They are so easy to wash and although light in colour once you follow the cleaning instructions they are stain free.
Hannahpad are my go to especially when I'm out and about. I love my hannahpad, everything about it including the pretty prints.
I love the service as all my after purchase questions were answered so thouroughly. Well done on a great organic product.

First impressions: When I first saw the hannahpad,  I was a little unsure about their cream coloured top fabric and was worried about staining. I also bought other pads with coloured tops. I was pleasantly surprised by the hannahpad though. I actually found that I TOTALLY preferred the cream colour cotton. Aside from the fact that the organic cotton is much better all around, I preferred being able to see how much flow the pad had absorbed, unlike my other pads. 

Comfort: Unlike disposable pads they are amazingly comfortable and soft. I am a cup user but I also like pads for heavier days and nights, not only just for back up.  Even with this minimal use of disposable pads my skin would suffer so I was very happy with the comfort factor of hannahpad! 

Favourite pad: I absolutely love the ultra overnight pads! They are SO absorbent but SO thin and they did the job for even the heaviest nights! I even ordered another one. 

Washing: Compared to the colour fabric topped pads I have, the hannahpads did need to soak overnight in bio bleach, but did not stain. I then washed them with the eco egg in the washing machine with no problems. They are also thinner and more absorbent. I do find that they take longer to dry after washing than my other pads but they are worth it because they absorb more.  

Overall: I preferred hannahpad to any other pads I have tried and are the only pads I ordered a few more of. The beautiful flowers and colours also cheer up that time of the month! Absolutely love them! I would (and already have) recommend them to all my friends! 

Thanks for the great service ;)
