Soakers
|
Soakers are contoured snap-on pads with snap studs to attach to the body. R/P 9“ has two sockets to attach to the body; L/W 11” and SPP 13” have three. Available in Single, Double & Postpartum. Also available but without snaps, are Simple Liners.
Single soakers are suitable for light to medium flow; typically having 3 layers of absorbent fabrics.
Double Soakers are extra long soaker that folds under and snaps to itself before being attached to the body piece, creating a soaker that is twice as absorbent as a single. Double Soakers are suited for medium to heavy flow. Topping fabrics are sewn to the top-facing portion of the soaker only.
Postpartum Soakers are 14" and extra wide with flared ends for maximum coverage especially while lying down. Internally sewn soaker for extra absorbency. These can be worn inside full-cut underwear alone (without SnapOn body) as well.Coming soon!
Simple Liners are bodies without the snap sockets. These are great as panty liners, suitable for light flow or as back up for tampons or Keepers. Coming soon!

Fabric choices for soakers. Our first two choices are the most natural. Organic cotton is certified organic, grown and processed without the use of chemicals. Natural Hemp is not certified organic, but it is grown without pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. Both fabrics are unbleached.
Our second two options are certainly healthier than most dipsosable pads but do contain unnatural products. The dyed hemp is hand-dyed using. The fleece-topped hemp is topped with micro-fleece, a synthetic fabric that keeps one feeling dryer since it does not absorb much moisture. Instead, the moisture passes through to the absorbant hemp underneath.
Choose the size to match the body and select a fabric.

Roughly 12 billion sanitary pads are land filled or incinerated in the US each year?
A woman throws away 10,000 pads or tampons in her lifetime?
Manufacturers of tampons and pads are not legally required to list ingredients used in making feminine products – products we wear next to our most vulnerable parts?
Most feminine hygiene products produced in North America are made using chlorine gas or chlorine dioxide bleached wood pulp, leaving trace amounts of dioxins and furans (the most toxic chemicals on earth)?

| Washing Instructions
Rinse pads in cold water and store in a small pail. One option to prevent stains from setting in is to apply oxygen bleach or Bac Out to stained areas.
At the end of your cycle or when you are in need of fresh pads, do a cold rinse followed by a hot wash. Use about 1/4 of the detergent as these fabrics are very absor-bent and will be difficult to rinse thoroughly if you use too much detergent.
Add oxygen bleach, Tea Tree Oil or Bac Out to your wash cycle to help prevent stains.
We recommend an extra rinse cycle to assure that all of the detergent is removed. Residue may cause skin irritations and/or absorbency issues.
TIP! If you are washing cloth diapers, throw your pads in with Baby's loads and save time, money, energy and water!

| Tips for ordering
Wondering how many bodies and soakers should you buy? This is dependant on how long your cycle is, how heavy or light your flow is and how often you are willing to wash.
You will need 4-6 soakers and 1-2 bodies per light/medium days. For heavy days, plan on 6-8 soakers and 2-4 bodies
At night, you will want to use longer pads, either 9" or 13" and double soakers.
When choosing the size of your soakers and bodies, this is really up to your personal preference, body type and flow.
Obviously, the longer sizes are more suited for heavier flows but some women find that the 9" works well even on heavier days.
