🙋‍♀️ Should I choose 2-ply, 3-ply, or 4-ply washable cotton pads?

Gepubliceerd op December 05, 2020

We sell different layers of cotton pads. From 2-ply to 4-ply. A cotton pad with fewer layers is not necessarily worse, but this depends mostly on what you personally find important.

Is it important to you that it doesn't absorb too much product? Or is it important to you that they are more durable? Or rather that they hold more easily and naturally? There's something for everyone. I explain to you in this post which one is best for you to choose.

✌️ 2-Layer

The 2-layer version is the thinnest version we offer. Good if you don't want it to soak up too much product and better for removing nail polish because you can get between the tough spots easier. If you plan to remove your nail polish as well I recommend the black 2-ply. The 2-ply version is also the most similar to a traditional cotton pad.

🤟 3-Layer

3-laags
The 3-ply version is thicker, softer, and thus soaks up a little more product. Some like this, while others find it a disadvantage. They are a bit more durable because they are just a bit firmer and have more "body." They also hold their shape better than the 2-ply.

🖖 4-Layer

The 4-layer has a finger notch. So you hold this one differently than the 2- and 3-layer versions. Kind of like a mini washcloth. You're less likely to have dirty fingers, and have more control over where you apply pressure.

Depending on what you like, each cotton pad has its own pluses and minuses 😊

Menstrual Cup

Skeptical at first

Aruni van Donselaar · June 3rd 2024 · Verified

Wow!! Really wow!! I was very skeptical about the menstrual cup at first, and after trying one from another brand, I thought, ‘this is not for me.’ But I still wanted to give it another chance and bought one from you. And I’m sold!!! I don’t want anything else anymore. Very easy to insert and remove, and the idea that you can wear it without any problems for twelve hours is very comforting to me. I am a forensic pathologist and have days when I am busy non-stop, and now I can do my work without being afraid of leaking or smelling! I am very satisfied!

I bought the M size cup! In my 10 years of experience with menstrual cups, I have tried 2 types. First, the Organicup and the own brand of Kruidvat. These seemed fine, but now that I have this one, I know what really feels good. It's fantastic! It has the right firmness, and I'm sure I won't leak. That was sometimes different with the others. The package arrived super quickly and was nicely packed. There was also a personal note included, and I received a free washing strip! That also turns out to be very nice. Super nice website with great products, I would definitely order more from here. I'm convinced!

Menstrual Disc

Positief

Life changing!! I bought the menstrual disc and the sanitizer and they both work SO well. I used to use menstrual cups, and I do enjoy them, but they are sometimes a pain for me, because every few months my period is super heavy and I'd need to empty the cup every 3ish hours. The self-emptying aspect of the disc is amazing and I actually really like that it's not suction based as well. The sanitizer... literally so amazing! I didn't think not having to wait for water to boil would be such a big change, but 1 minute versus 10ish (waiting for the water to boil and then waiting 4-6 mins for your cup to be sanitized) is a huge game changer. Can't recommended either of these products enough! Also, bamboozy included wash strips samples with my order and I LOVE THEM! Consider me a convert :) In general, amazing service, products and all around amazing shop. Will 100% recommend to anyone!

I didn't know which size disc to take, because for me it wasn't clear how to measure, and therefore I bought the wrong size. However, after having contact about this I could buy the right size with a discount. The product itself is great, the service was quick and nice, and it arrived within days.

Menstrual Disc

No experience

Menstrual disc pleasantly surprised me. I had no experience with it, but I am positive about it. I was a bit nervous at first, but I got the hang of it quickly. And ultimately, I am very satisfied. The fear is gone. It's nice that I don't have to carry pads everywhere. Swimming works well with it, and I haven't had any accidents. One thing I still need to get used to is that when my period is almost over, I almost forget to take it out because I don't feel it at all.

Menstrual Disc

No going back!

Helena · January 18 2024 · Verified

I ordered a menstrual disc between Christmas and New Year's, and I received it before the new year. Pleasantly surprised by the fast delivery! I chose a disc because I read some time ago about the toxic substances in tampons and the increased risk of TSS. I rarely used pads because I find them impractical and less fresh. I recently used the disc for the first time and am satisfied with it so far. Inserting and removing the disc took some getting used to at first, but now that I've got the hang of it, I don't want to go back to tampons! I managed to remove it without spilling from the very first time. I also haven't had any leaks. The entire time I have the disc in, I don't feel it at all. I haven't succeeded with the autodump feature yet. Maybe next month. Since the disc only needs to be emptied and cleaned once every 12 hours, it makes for carefree menstruation; you no longer need to replace your tampon or pad every few hours. Good for your wallet and the environment.

Menstrual Disc

Changed from cup to disc

Sabine · January 23rd 2024 · Verified

I have been a cup user for years, but the disc has been a revelation: pleasant to use, less leaking, easy to empty with autodumping, and never feel it. My sister is now using one too, and she is also super enthusiastic about it. I recommend it to everyone!
