FAQs
What are DAME reusable pads made of?
Our reusable pads are made using DAMEdry™ technology with five layers working together for total period protection.
Top wicking section to keep you cool and dry with antimicrobial odour control agent to keep you feeling fresh
Outer layers in DAME green single knit jersey with natural cotton and soft handle for comfort against your skin
Inner layers include high performance, organic cotton-rich fabric that absorbs 10 times its weight in under 2 seconds
Infused with SILVADUR™ antimicrobial silver ions to inhibit bacterial growth, control odours and create long lasting freshness without toxic chemicals
Additionally there is a waterproof layer inside the pad to prevent leaking
All materials are manufactured without harmful chemicals or finishes. We use natural fibres wherever possible, while making sure DAME pads give you high performance and product longevity.
How do I use a DAME reusable pad?
Using a reusable pad is pretty similar to using a disposable pad. Place the pad in your underwear, with the black DAMEDry™ wicking material facing upwards and fasten the wings around your underwear with the snap popper.
What is a Mini or Interlabial Pad?
DAME interlabial pads are small reusable pads which are rolled and placed between the labia. This can catch spotting and discharge or help avoid leaks and stains by controlling and directing your flow.
They are perfect for spotting, light leaks and discharge. Alternatively, you can use them as a backup alongside other menstrual products. They’re an ideal option for tampon and cup users as they give you that extra sense of security and protection. They can also be used with pads or period pants to help prevent leaking as well as controlling and directing flow, especially when you have a heavy or particularly ‘gushing’ flow.
How should I care for my DAME reusable pad?
For best results, rinse or soak your pads and liners in cold water, then add to an existing dark wash. Our reusable pads can be washed up to 40°c and should be air dried. Please don’t use fabric softener or bleach as it will affect the absorbency of the pad.
Will my DAME pads stain?
Our reusable pads should not stain, although rinsing in cold water before washing should help prevent stains building up over time. If you are concerned about staining, try not to rinse in hot water, as this will set the blood in the fabric. Make sure to wash within 48 hours of use.
How do I wash Interlabial pads?
Taking care of DAME’s interlabial pads is easy - after every use, rinse thoroughly or soak in cold water, then machine wash up to 40 degrees in a mixed load of laundry. We suggest using a laundry bag, avoid using fabric conditioner and line dry only. Not only is this better for the environment but it also prolongs the life of your pad!
Are the fabrics used in DAME period pads safe?
DAME has a due diligence process which ensures the components in all of our products are tested to current industry standards and do not contain any harmful chemicals. Our testing programmes cover certification under EU REACH regulations and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 which includes testing for per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS). Our fabric treatments are Bluesign approved. Every component from fabric to trim has been tested for harmful substances to help protect human health and the environment from the risks of chemicals.
What are DAME reusable liners made of?
Our reusable liners are made using three layers of fabrics working together:
Top wicking section to keep you cool and dry with antimicrobial odour control agent to keep you feeling fresh
Outer layers in DAME green single knit jersey with natural cotton and soft handle for comfort against your skin
Inner layer of light-weight, absorbent terry for daily comfort
All materials are manufactured without harmful chemicals or finishes. We use natural fibres wherever possible, while making sure DAME pads give you high performance and product longevity.
What pad absorbencies does DAME offer?
We currently offer three levels of absorbency in our DAMEdry™ pads:
DAME Reusable Liner - ideal for very light flows, spotting and discharge. Absorbs up to 6ml of blood (length: 17cm)
DAME Reusable Regular Pad - absorbs the equivalent of 1 DAME Super tampon (9-12ml). Good for most days of your period (length: 20.5cm)
DAME Reusable Night Time Pad - absorbs the equivalent of 1 DAME Super Plus tampon (12-15ml). The longer size and extra absorbency is perfect for night time (length: 28cm)
How often should I change my DAME reusable pad?
We recommend changing your pad every 4-6 hours. That said, it's a good idea to check your pads more frequently the first few times you wear them to understand how they work for you and your flow. Please note this is just a benchmark, as only you know your flow.
Tip - generally, the same time limits that apply to tampons or pads can be applied to interlabial pads.
Should I prewash my DAME reusable pads?
Always pre-wash your reusable period pads before first use. This will help activate the absorbent fabric. Please don't use any fabric softener as it will reduce the absorbency of the pad.
How do I use DAME reusable pads in public bathrooms?
We hope that you’ll feel comfortable changing your pad in a public bathroom but we totally get that people have their own personal preferences. We’ve designed our reusable pads for quick and easy changing whether in a private or public bathroom.
If you are out and about, simply fold each end of the pad inwards and clip the wings over the top - it should look a bit like a little envelope. Pop the folded pad in our waterproof DAME Dry Bag (included in the Reusable Pad Set or to purchase separately). This bag is odour tight so there's no risk of leaking or smells coming from your bag while you're still out.
Once home, you can wash your pad following the care instructions.
What are DAME Interlabial Pads made from?
We decided to develop our own interlabial pads after realising how comfortable and adaptable they are. The DAME interlabial pads are cotton rich; making them super soft, and comfortable, ideal to be worn so close against the skin. We have also developed our pads with an antimicrobial control finish to reduce odour. In an effort to reduce waste our interlabial pads are made using the offcuts from our EveryDAME period pants and reusable liners!

DAMEchangers
We wanted an advisory board who see what the future holds, because they're going to shape it; a board who call BS on greenwashing because they live with the consequences; and a board passionate about creating a fairer society, because they know we can do better. It wasn’t easy, but we found them… and they’re all teenagers.
We put one of our happy customers on the side of 200 London buses. It was the first time a tampon string had been seen on public advertising, helping create a new normal.
