Moderate protection for your period, sweat or pee.
Surprisingly subtle. Thin and comfortable to wear. And because it is super soft bamboo... no more "crinkle crinkle" when you walk or run! No wearing a pad is truly your secret. But we suspect that you'll love them so much that you'll be telling all your BFF's about this game changing pad.
Absorbency equivalent to 7-8 tampons or 80+ml of fluid
CaroQuilla reusable pads have a unique layer design.
Layer 1 (closest to your skin) - Organic cotton with a quick dry weave.
Layer 2 - Bamboo charcoal for extra freshness. Bamboo charcoal has antimicrobial properties to reduce odor and bacteria.
Layer 3 - Bamboo terry. Bamboo is one of the most absorbent natural fibers around, and as a terry weave, it is perfect for locking in all kinds of leaks.
Layer 4 (the outside of the pad) - Organic cotton with a protective waterproof coating. Feel confident that what leaks out stays away from your clothing.

Scary fact
In North America alone, 20 billion pads, tampons, and applicators are disposed of every year, with specifically around 12 billion menstrual pads deposited into landfills (Shreya, 2016). Menstrual pads are composed primarily of plastic and cellulose; materials that are non biodegradable or take years to degrade, respectively.

FAQ
How often do I need to change my pad?
Our pads absorb more than comparable to disposable pads. How often you change your pad depends on you! We recommend changing your Reusable Pad when it starts feeling wet. The heavier your cycle, the more often you’ll need to change the pad.
How much liquid do they hold?
CaroQuilla’s Pad has different layers in the gusset that are super absorbent. Depending on the size you choose. Here’s the absorbency breakdown of each of the pads.
Liner: Holds up 3 tsp of blood, which equals about 2-3 regular tampons or pads.
Daytime: Holds up 8 tsp of blood, which equals about 7-8 regular tampons or pads.
Overnight: holds up to 12 tsp of blood, which equals about 18-20 tampons or pads.
How do I wear your pads?
Just snap the wings around your underwear with the tag facing down and voila it will absorb your bleed. (The black material goes up touching your skin)
How do I wash my pads?
No worries! Very easy.
- After wear, rinse in cool water then wash in regular wash. ( or Hand wash in sink, until water becomes clear)
- Lay them flat or hand to dry
- DO NOT USE BLEACH OR SOFTENER.
- REPEAT.
Do they work for heavy periods?
Yes, we developed our pads to hold up to heavy flow. Just make sure you wear them overnight and change as needed.
What If I need to change my pad while I'm out?
We have water proof bags. You can stash your used pads or use to carry a couple spare ones in the carry bag.
How can I reduce my impact on the planet with period products I choose?
It’s important to use whatever works best for YOU, but if you want to start reducing your impact, try our reusable undies, like Caroquilla’s period undies.
Menstrual pads are made up of up to 90% plastic and nearly all tampons contain some plastic
Over the course of a lifetime, each menstruating individual is predicted to throw away roughly 400 pounds of packaging from these products, and those harmful plastics often end up in landfills, sewer systems and waterways.
A year’s worth of a typical menstrual hygiene product leaves a carbon footprint of 5.3 kg CO2 equivalents.
