Pads Explained

useitagain_ro

Poppy Pads are are our own unique design, developed over time, tried and tested by hundreds of women. Using only the best of modern fabrics suitable for the purpose they won't let you down. 100% cotton outer covers, a soft, ultra absorbent bamboo/cotton core and a leakproof layer too (PUL).They come in different styles and sizes to cater for the lightest to heaviest of periods, postpartum days or stress incontinence.


Styles and Sizes

The different styles and sizes are as follows:

  • Panty Liners/Thins These are 18cm in length and provide a soft, comfortable, protective cover for your underwear for light spotting or discharge. Panty Liners/Thins are constructed from 3 layers of absorbent brushed cotton but please note that they do not have a bamboo/cotton core or a leak proof layer as in all our other pads. Go for Panty Liners/Light Pads if you require something more substantial.

  • Panty Liners/Light Pads are also 18cm in length.  They have an absorbent layer and a leakproof layer too. They are great as a 'just in case' when expecting or finishing your period , on very light days, as a back up for your Mooncup etc.

  • G- String Liners Both Thins and Light Pads are available in G String style too!

  • Regular Pads are great for an average, light to medium flow.

  • Super Pads are great for a medium to heavy flow.

(Both Regular and Super Pads are available in two lengths (a choice of either 22cm or 26cm) The choice of length is entirely a matter for personal preference. Both lengths are as effective but simply that some people feel more secure with a bit more length.

  • Extra Duty/Nights/Maternity Pads have even further layers of absorbency for heavier duties. They have extra length (30cm) and the rear is slightly wider than the front where absorbency is often needed for heavier requirements eg. extra heavy periods, at night, for maternity requirements etc. If you require these for maternity purposes you might like to tell us this in the comments box on the order form and we can make pads for you that have a plain white top cover (your Midwife will ask about the colour of your flow) and your choice of patterned or plain fabric underside.


Please note that pad widths are standardised to fit the majority of women most of the time but if you wear eg.  briefs that have an extra wide (eg. Thunderpants) or extra narrow gusset you might like a slightly wider or narrower pad. Just state this in the comments box when placing your order and we will contact you and size accordingly. There is no extra charge for this. We like to offer a personal service and for our customers to be happy and comfy!


Consider some of Poppy Pad's Greatest Features:


  • An all-in-one style just like disposables. Wings snap around your undies holding your pad in place! There are no inserts to change, no need for any reconstructing after washing or, bits to lose! Just wash and wear them - couldn't be simpler than that!
  • Only natural fabrics have been used, wherever possible, minimising the number of plastics/chemicals etc. that our most delicate parts are in contact with. Poppy Pads are unlikely to irritate and allergies, sensitivities etc. may become a thing of the past!
  • Pad covers are 100% cotton and come in a wide range of fabrics - fun, funky, floral, plain colours, just white or black and, an organic fabric range too! Something to suit everyone's taste!
  • Pads have an ultra-absorbent bamboo/cotton core. Beautifully soft, but chosen specifically because bamboo/cotton has far superior absorbency and, durability. As bamboo/cotton is capable of absorbing copious amounts (60% more than just cotton), less fabric is needed and pads can be efficient but, without the bulk. As a porous fabric, it breathes easily allowing a good circulation of air and, is quick drying. It has strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties - little chance of odour or thrush type infections here!  Cultivation of bamboo doesn't require the use of herbicides or sprays and it is good for the soil in which it grows. Bamboo has a short growth cycle and it conditions the soil for future crops. Nature's greatest choice!
  • Pads have been given a leak-proof layer for added security and peace of mind. PUL (Polyurethane Laminate) is waterproof, thin, durable and a 'quiet' fabric. It breathes, so you won't feel sweaty or itchy as with plastic backed pads neither will you make those crackly noises when changing pads out and about - a couple of snaps and nobody is any the wiser!
  • Extra length wings snap easily around your underwear, keeping your pad securely in place, moulding to your shape and, catching the flow with ease. No slipping or bulking up here!
  • A choice of 2 snap fasteners allow for different sized panty gussets.
  • Pads are fun, colourful, easy to wash with your other laundry and, suitable for use by teens and women of all ages. A great choice! Who said periods have to be dull!
