The Period Lady

The Period Lady: reusable menstrual products sold online from the UK

The Period Lady is an online retailer specialising in reusable menstrual products that are fully washable. Its catalogue covers cloth sanitary pads, period pants, menstrual cups, menstrual discs and related accessories, drawn from a broad set of brands. The shop presents itself as an alternative to disposable sanitary products, which it links to large volumes of plastic waste.

The site frames the choice around individual needs: absorbency, fabric, body shape and stage of life. A questionnaire and a chatbot are offered as ways to narrow down which product suits a given user.

Cloth pads by absorbency and fabric

Reusable sanitary pads form the core of the range. The shop organises them by flow level, from daily liners through regular day pads to night pads with higher absorbency and longer, wider coverage, plus post-partum pads described as the highest-protection option. It also lists thong, tanga and labia pads, and full reusable pad kits alongside taster kits.

Fabrics vary. Options include stay-dry top layers, black-topped and white-topped pads, and natural materials such as organic cotton, which the site recommends for sensitive skin. A section of the catalogue is labelled as reusable pads made in the UK.

Period pants and swimwear

Period pants are presented as absorbent underwear worn instead of separate protection, and the range is sorted by flow: light, medium, heavy and super heavy. Cuts include low rise, mid rise, high waist and thong styles, with dedicated lines for tweens and teens and plus-size fits. The shop notes that period pants are popular with teenagers and suggests adding a reusable pad inside the pants as back-up for exceptionally heavy periods. Period swimwear is also listed, including a Love Luna swimsuit and WUKA swimming bikini pants.

Cups, discs and accessories

The menstrual cup range spans multiple brands, and the site also stocks menstrual discs, including complete kits. Accessories include cup accessories, a silicone egg steriliser, reusable sanitary wear storage, washable wipes and mattress protectors. A Strucket Teenie 1L and its accessories appear among the latest products, and a Secret Whispers kegel exercise kit is listed among the best sellers.

Eco Femme is singled out for organic cotton pads across light to extra heavy absorbencies, with a donation of pads to girls in Africa for each pack sold.

Washing and care guidance

The site explains a simple care routine for cloth pads: rinse in cold water, wash in a machine and ideally air dry, with tumble drying on cool possible for most pads. Rinsing in cold water is described as a way to limit stain setting. A separate advice section covers choosing menstrual protection and using and washing the products, alongside articles on menstrual discs, period pants and period symptoms.
