Pad Handouts

Everybody is different. Everybody's body is different. Every woman has the right to agency and the right to decide what works best for their bodies and what period products work best for them.

By working directly with communities we strive to provide access to a wide array of long-term menstrual products to ensure that every woman, young and old, has the best long-term sustainable solution that works for them.

Through ongoing workshops, research, and open conversations with women in Khayelitsha, we’ve found that reusable pads are a practical, affordable, and sustainable solution that works for many.

Each set costs R175 and includes:
→ 3 Super Dry Day Pads
→ 1 Long Night Pad

This set can last up to five years — meaning no need to buy another pad for half a decade.

At Mama Flo, we believe in informed choice. Periods are personal, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Cultural norms, living conditions, comfort, and stigma all play a role. That’s why we always offer both reusable and single-use pads — so each woman can choose what works best for her.
