The Rising Interest in Reusables
Over the last few years, we’ve seen more and more women explore reusable cloth incontinence pads as part of a broader shift toward sustainable living. It’s part of a larger conversation about what we bring into our homes, what we put against our skin, and how our choices impact the planet.
Cloth pads are often viewed as a more eco-conscious option, and for some, they feel like a natural extension of the care and consideration they already put into their daily routines. But as with any personal care decision, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. What matters most is what fits your body, your lifestyle, and your values.
Are Reusable Pads Right for Your Needs?
Cloth incontinence pads can be a great fit for many women, but they do require a bit more time, planning, and trial and error. If you’re considering switching to reusables, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Daily Maintenance and Washing
Unlike disposable pads, reusable cloth pads need to be washed and dried after each use. For some, that extra care feels worthwhile; for others, especially those with full schedules or limited laundry access, it can be a barrier. Think about how laundry fits into your daily rhythm—and whether you’d be comfortable washing pads along with other garments.
2. Absorbency Limits
Many cloth pads are designed to be absorbent, but they may not always match the performance of modern disposables, especially during heavier leaks or overnight use. If you need reliable protection throughout the day or night, it’s worth checking how your preferred cloth pad holds up over time.
3. Comfort and Bulkiness
Some women love the softness and breathability of cloth, while others find reusable pads a bit bulky, especially under certain outfits. It often comes down to personal preference and what feels best during different activities—whether you’re working, exercising, or relaxing at home.
4. Lifestyle Fit
Active lifestyle? Limited time? Travel frequently? All of these factors play into whether reusable pads make sense for you. For some, reusables work beautifully for lighter days or time spent at home, but they may not be the go-to for every situation.
Ultimately, there’s no “right” answer—just the one that works best for you. We’re here to support that process, however it unfolds.
When Disposable Cotton-Feel Pads Might Be a Better Fit
For many women—especially those managing sensitive skin, heavier leaks, or simply packed days—a soft, breathable disposable pad can offer a more practical and skin-friendly solution.
At Attn: Grace, we’ve designed our incontinence pads with these needs in mind. Our disposable pads feature:
-
A plant-based top sheet that’s soft, breathable, and gentle against the skin
-
Our Skin-Safe™ promise, with dermatologist-tested materials that are thoughtfully selected
-
Free from dyes, fragrances, lotions, PFAS, and latex
-
Multiple absorbency levels, including options for daytime protection and overnight peace of mind
We know that care looks different for everyone. Whether you're managing daily leaks or occasional surprises, our pads are made to support your body without irritation or compromise.
Comfort, Convenience, and Care
Choosing between reusable and disposable incontinence products isn’t just about materials. For many women, it’s also about peace of mind.
If you’re always on the go, or if you’re navigating sensitive skin or overnight concerns, the ease and reliability of a high-performing disposable pad can be a source of comfort. There's reassurance in knowing you’re protected—and not having to think twice about it.
But for others, washing and reusing pads fits seamlessly into a self-care routine. It might feel more personal, more connected.
The key is to listen to what your body needs—and what your day-to-day life can comfortably support.
