Why is Safepad better than the other pads?
Safepad hygienic sanitary pads are designed with a permanently bonded antimicrobial technology that helps reducing vaginal infections caused by Candida albicans along with infections from other pathogens and fungi. Safepad is made from polyester yarns that are very durable. By making reusable pads from high-quality, long lasting polyester fabric, we help reduce menstrual product waste by up to 99%.

Real Relief introduces a Safepad made from recycled plastic. At least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. Real Relief has decided to turn the plastic waste into a valuable resource that can be recycled. Real Relief collect plastic in North India, sort and clean it before reprocessing it. The sorted and cleaned plastic waste is melted and extruded into strong and durable polyester yarns. From these yarns Real Relief produce strong, durable, and soft fabric with the same high performance as standard fabric. Now, each Safepad represents 3 plastic bottles less in our ocean.

What makes Safepad unique?
The Safepad fabric technology ensures high and immediate absorbency, non-leakage, and quick drying after wash. The antimicrobial technology is based on a treatment that leaves a positively charged layer on the fabric. This layer will attract and kill the negatively charged microbes, like bacteria and fungi.
Why is polyester a better material than organic cotton?
Organic cotton is made from cotton that is organically grown. Even though organic cotton is better than regular cotton, because no or very little pesticides are used, there are still considerable environmental problems associated with cotton:
On a worldwide average 10.000 litres of water are use to produce 1 kg of cotton, for organic cotton specifically this figure is even higher because the yield is lower
Fertile farming land is used to produce cotton approximately 10 m2/kg
Cotton is much less durable than polyester and therefore the lifetime is less than half, which gives a higher amount of waste.
Cotton dries much slower than polyester, so whereas a Safepad will dry in as little as 30 minutes, a comparable pad made from cotton could easily take 24 hours to be properly dried
Organic cotton pads may absorb a large amount of menstrual fluid. Nevertheless, organic cotton pads may absorb the fluid slower, so even though the organic cotton pad absorbs more, the user might feel a need of changing it more often.
Blood stains are quite difficult to remove from cotton fabrics as compared to polyester. This will cause the users to discard the cotton pads even earlier. Safepad even has a stain release treatment, that will make it even easier to wash.
Safepad is made from polyester fabric with a high and immediate absorbency that ensures comfort and leakage free periods. The antimicrobial layer is formed from silica, nitrogen, and carbon. The antimicrobial technology offers an infection free period.
