Bamboolik Panty Liners Overview
Bamboolik Panty Liners are different to the other brands we stock because they come with a hook and look fastening instead of poppers. This makes them ideal for horse riders / cyclists who have said they find poppers uncomfortable. You asked us for this and we found them!
The Bamboolik panty liners are very trim and small. These offer VERY light absorbency for every day of the month or light Menstrual Cup backup. I actually really love these for a daily basis as I find a lot of the other cloth panty liners are just too big and thick for anyone that just wants a light backup/reassurance pad. These are little more than the gusset of your pants.

How many pads do I need?

- Longer and heavier cycles 15 day pads and 6-7 night time pads.
How To Wash Cloth Pads
Washing reusable cloth pads in the washing machine is the most effective way to care for your pads
Here is a basic guide to wash pads:
- When you remove your used pads rinse them thoroughly with cold water till the water runs clear. You can gently rub them to help remove as much blood as possible.
- Either pop them in your normal washing with other clothes or store them in a wet bag until wash day.
- Wash on a cold wash at either 30 or 40deg. You can use your normal detergent but avoid fabric softener.
Most companies will advise you to avoid harsh chemicals, fabric conditioner and tumble drying, as eventually it will lead to a shorter life span and issues with performance.
How To Dry Reusable Sanitary Pads
Ideally air dry your cloth sanitary pads and avoid using a tumble dryer. This helps to keep your reusable pads in better condition and is more environmentally friendly. A “sock” airer is ideal for drying them and can be hung inside in winter for quick drying. Most pads will easily dry overnight. Some pads can be tumble-dried, but this should be done on low and is best avoided as tumble drying can shrink some fabrics and remove fibres (that’s what the fluff is in the filter.)
How long will my pads last until I need to buy more to replace them?
As a general rule our suppliers expect their pads to last 5-10 years with average wear.
Quite comfortable and does the job 13 May 2023 | Sheila
Fits perfectly in my sports briefs. The velcro is a bit bulky - might be better if it ran lengthways instead of across.

They are very comfortable. Surprised that although they are smaller and narrower than other reusable or disposable liners they stay put.

Not a huge fan. Bought for light days of my period and has basically done the job. But the size is too small to fit properly around the gusset of my underwear. They are less comfortable as a result. Also they dont look very nice.
