See our Impact facts to see how you will be doing your bit to save the planet! If you are doing a full switch to reusables ApiAfrique recommends purchasing 2 panty liners, 6 day pads and 2 night pads which will cover you for light, medium and heavy flow for all the days of your period. Or try one of our multi packs to get you started. Your initial outlay on full switch to high quality ApiAfrique reusable sanitary pads is typically recouped within the first 8 months. They are long-lasting, durable and reusable 400 times so they will last up to 5 years, depending on flow. If you want to give it a go with a multipack, then in just over 2 months you will be saving money (and the planet). Available in different colours with different designs on the wings. How to Use Reusable Sanitary Panty Liner Discreet and slim, the panty liner, like a regular disposable liner, is used for light flow, vaginal discharge and small urinary leaks. It fits discreetly and securely in underwear with the use of strong but inobtrusive poppers. Using the panty liner could not be simpler: Simply unsnap the poppers, place the panty liner in your pants velvet cotton side up, wrap the wings to the underside of your pants and snap the poppers to secure in place. When changing your liner, simply unsnap the poppers and fold the pad within itself and use the poppers to secure. We recommend use of ApiAfrique's carefully designed 2 compartment, 100% waterproof 'wet bag'. Store your used liners/pads in one compartment, and new liners/pads in the other. Perfect while out and about. Impact The positive impact you will have by switching to reusables cannot be underestimated.
