Reusable Sanitary Kits.

Periods for Hope donates reusable sanitary kits to girls and women in communities across the Western Cape. These kits, produced by SafePad South Africa, are a sustainable and affordable alternative to typical disposable pads! Safepad’s reusable pad contains an antimicrobial treatment which makes the pad self-disinfecting and helps keep it free of bacteria and fungus during use and after washing

Each kit contains 3 day pads (for lighter flow), 1 long night pad (for heavier flow) and a storage bag. The sides of each pad (lined with a waterproof shield) clip together over the lining of the panty, in the same position of a normal pad. The pads can withstand approximately 100 washes, which equals a lifespan of roughly 4-5 years.

Along with the kit, our girls receive a Periods for Hope period tracker that helps them track their cycles.
