How Many Eco Pads Do I Need for a Full Cycle?

It depends on your flow, period length, and how often you plan to wash – but here’s a simple guide to help you plan confidently. For a typical 4–6 day cycle, most people feel fully covered with: 12–16 Eco Pads total. A mix of day, night, and pantyliners. Fewer pads needed if you wash during your cycle. 💜 Here's a handy breakdown: Light flow (short cycle): 9–12 pads. Moderate flow (average cycle): 12–16 pads. Heavy flow (longer cycle): 18–25 pads. Want to reduce your stash? Wash halfway through and you can halve your total.💡 Key Insight: Starting with 12–16 pads gives most people full coverage and flexibility. Mix and match sizes to suit your unique cycle. Your flow, your rules.
