About The Pads
Honour Your Flow pads are top of the range. They have been designed in such a way to minimize leaks and discomfort. They are slimline, soft and absorbent. We know you have been looking around for the right pads, so we have taken all the work out for you!
Here you will find pads for all flows in beautiful colours and fabrics that make you feel a little bit special when you wear them.
Pad Sizing Table:
If you don't know where to start, then measure your current pads, and choose something the same length.
Which Absorbency Do I Need?
Micro pads will be great for everyday freshness all day, menstrual cup backup, spotting, gungy ovulation days
Mini pads will take spotting for up to a whole day. Also happy with that dark gloopy gungy flow at the start and end of a period
Regular pads will take a steady light flow of light dribbles for up to 4 hours, or 2-3 lighter trickles
Maxi pads will take a steady flow of trickles for up to 4 hours, or 3-4 heavier splurges
Slim Mega pads will take more flow than a Maxi - 3-4 proper flooding gushes.
Slim Mega Sandwich pads will take quite a lot more than the non-sandwich version - up to 12 flooding gushes. WOW! Proper full on menopausal, PCOS, Endo etc..
Mega pads are for those of us who don't believe there is a pad on this planet which can cope with their flow! They can cope with exceptionally heavy flow for up to 3 hours.
Night pads - these are designed to catch trickle leaks that happen when you lie down and run off the end of a normal pad. They are totally brilliant, but are not thick enough for a very heavy night flow. (Some Night pads have a thicker option.)
Basically, the more fabric there is, the more absorbent the pad.
All HYF reusable menstrual products are made to a high standard of love and care here in the UK, mostly by highly skilled women working from home.

Never Used Cloth Menstrual Pads Before? How To Get Started
Remember - you don't have to buy a whole load of pads today! (tempting though it may be) You can try one or two now, and once you know which you like best and which thickness, then build up your stash. Also, some women find that their flow gets lighter when they switch to cloth, so I think it’s best to buy a few pads at first, and come back for more next month. Many women buy a few at a time, integrating them in with disposables, until they have enough to use all cloth menstrual pads.
How to wear your pads - The most important thing to success in wearing your washable menstrual pads is Snug Fitting Knickers! The pads popper into your knickers, and if your knickers are snug, they don't move. If your knickers are too loose then the pads may slip about. Honour Your Flow cloth pads come in different widths, so it's best to bear this in mind. For instance, a 2" wide Mini pad will not sit right in knickers with a very wide 4" gusset. Consider investing in some 'period knickers' which you know are a good snug fit and have the gusset width that fits the size of pad you like best.
When You’re Out and About – Take your clean pad out in a Carry Pouch or Moon Purse, and put your used put in it to bring it home. It won’t leak or smell in your bag, and no one need know it is there.
