Our Products
We currently have one-piece and two-piece reusable feminine hygiene pads, and patchwork purses available for purchase. These products are bought from a South Asian company called Didi Pad. They are made by women in the villages of South Asia. Through this work they earn an income to support themselves and their families.
When you make a purchase of these pads/purses you’re helping to provide pads to those in South Asia who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford safe, clean sanitary pads. Through this they are also able to help to provide basic health education to women and girls.
The one-piece pad is the classic style sanitary pad. It’s a similar style to the disposable pads, however it is reusable and made from 100% cotton. The pad contains an absorbable layer, waterproof layer, and liner. This pad is comfortable, safe, and environmentally friendly.
One-Piece Didi Pad
The two-piece pad is also made from 100% cotton with a waterproof layer inside for added protection. It comes in two pieces, the outside piece is a holder then the second piece is a reusable fabric insert that folds up to fit inside the holder (each pad comes with two inserts). The insert is easily removable for changing and washing. You can wear this pad knowing that it’s a safe, healthy choice, and that you are also making a way for low-income women to have access to these pads.
Two-Piece Didi Pad
Patchwork Purse, beautiful little purses made from the leftover little pieces of fabrics from the pads. Every purchase of the Patchwork purses helps women to be able to receive Didipads reusable sanitary pads and vital women’s health education. Each of these purses is beautifully and uniquely handcrafted from the fabric scraps. These lightweight bags combine sustainable zero-waste fashion with a powerful social mission. Your style choice creates a beautiful, one-of-a-kind accessory while actively breaking down health barriers and empowering women with essential resources.
