Getting your daughter ready for menarche or those first cycles?

Our mission is to ensure that every girl has the tools she needs to start off on the right foot and to empower girls to feel confident and comfortable during their menstrual cycle, promoting a healthy and happy growth into young adulthood.
Get the right SIZE:
Pads are made according to the size of the undies:
Undies size 8: Pad with wings. Length 6.5" with absorptive core of 4.5". Width 2" (when wings are closed)
Undies size 10: Pad with wings. Length 7" with absorptive core of 5". Width 2.25" (when wings are closed)
Undies size 12: Pad with wings. Length 8" with absorptive core of 6". Width 2.5" (when wings are closed)
Note that on each instance the menstrual pad itself has 2" more than its absorptive core. The pad has 1" in the front and 1" in the back more than the size of the core.
All pads have a 100% organic cotton core with an eco-friendly PUL for maximum absorption and impermeability. In addition, the organic cotton core has antimicrobial properties (Ag+ ions) to help prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi or algae, keeping them fresh and odor-free.
THE ABSORBENT SIDE of the pad has comfortable black 100% Cotton fabric with a 100% Organic Cotton Core facing the skin. The NON ABSORBENT SIDE (that is the side that sits on the undies) has the print on 100% cotton fabric.
The pad’s wings have snaps for easy placement on the undies.
The pads are not prewashed. To activate absorbency, wash the pads before first use. Easy to Clean. After use, wash and dry at low temperature. Please refrain from using fabric softener or bleach when washing your pads.

OUR MISSION
Today’s progressive women have become increasingly aware that a modern lifestyle does not necessitates production of massive waste. We seek choices, solutions, and transformation. Hume’s Shop reusable menstrual care products aims to provide a choice that agrees with the lifestyle and core values of women who like to be informed about the underlying philosophy of the brands they use, and how these brands provide solutions and transformations that are better for our planet.
Women use thousands of single-use tampons and pads throughout our lives thereby creating an enormous amount of waste that may end up on the ground, in our rivers and oceans, harming our environment and wildlife. Our mission is to provide sustainable menstrual care products. We aim to reduce waste and the negative impact disposable pads and tampons have on our environment.
Make the change. Switch from disposable to reusable menstrual products.
“Be the change you want to see happen.”

How it’s Made
Our pads are handmade in the USA. Always handmade at our shop when ordered and never bought pre-made for resale. Our pads are not mass produced or imported. We use domestic materials when available and strive to work with small local businesses when possible. All the fabrics we use are made in the USA, including the organic 100% cotton fabrics, eco-friendly PUL, and the 100% cotton fabrics, except the ones with prints. Fabrics with prints are obtained through a large US company who most likely imports their fabrics.
Please keep in mind that because all fabrics are hand-cut and pads sewed individually, minor variations may occur.
