Product information

Description

Discover the highest quality solution for menstrual care in Nigeria with our organic, NAFDAC-certified, reusable sanitary pads. Designed specifically for women and girls, these pads offer unparalleled comfort, sustainability, and protection during your period.

Sana Pads are reusable cloth sanitary pads, designed and sewn in Nigeria and registered with NAFDAC. A soft cotton-bamboo top, two to four absorbent layers and a leak-proof, breathable back keep you dry for 4 to 8 hours, depending on your flow.

Each pad fastens around your underwear with a snap, washes easily and lasts 2 to 3 years, depending on how it is washed. One set replaces around 240 disposable pads a year - and the plastic waste that comes with them.

Sizes

Three absorbencies, one design. Most women mix two - a Premium Pad for regular days and a Maxi Pad for the first heavy days and nights.

“Buying disposable pads every month really added up, so I thought I’d give Sana Pads a try. I was surprised by how soft they are, and they work well for long days at university. Washing them is simple, and I haven’t had to buy new pads in months, which has saved me money. I also like that they’re more eco-friendly. It feels good to have an option that’s both affordable and better for the environment.”

FAQ

Answers to common questions about reusable pads and menstrual care.

Why should I choose Sana Pads over regular disposable pads?

Sana Pads are made from high-quality, reusable materials, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to disposable sanitary products. They are gentle on your skin, highly absorbent, and cost-effective in the long run. By choosing Sana Pads, you contribute to reducing plastic waste while enjoying comfort and reliability throughout your cycle.

How long can I use a Sana Pad before it needs to be washed?

A Sana Pad gives you comfort and protection for 4 to 8 hours, depending on your flow. For freshness, change it every 4 to 6 hours - more often on heavy days. After each use, rinse it in cold water and wash it with soap. With proper care, each pad lasts 2 to 3 years.

Are Sana Pads safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, Sana Pads are made from soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic materials, ensuring they are gentle on your skin. They are free from harmful chemicals and toxins commonly found in disposable pads, making them an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.

How do I clean and maintain my Sana Pads?

Rinse your pad in cold water straight away - hot water sets bloodstains. Then wash it with mild soap, by hand or in the machine, and rinse until the water runs clear. Dry it fully in direct sunlight, which also disinfects. Please avoid the tumble dryer, bleach and fabric softener: they break down the absorbent layers. Cared for like this, a Sana Pad lasts 2 to 3 years.

Does the price change for larger orders?

No. Each product has a fixed price per pack, no matter how many packs you order. You can calculate your total with our price calculator. For large orders, send us a direct message and we will confirm the delivery cost with you before you pay.
