Making periods positive, for people and planet.
Tampons were invented in 1933. Lots has changed since then, but the period industry? Not so much. It’s still full of plastic, chemicals and stigma. DAME is here to change that. We’ve reimagined period products, creating comfortable, sustainable alternatives. They’re toxin-free, carbon negative, and dare we say it, good looking. Now the best choice for your body is the best choice for our planet. It’s about bloody time.
Introducing the next generation of our reusable period pads. They're more secure, absorb faster and last longer. Made using our unique patent-pending DAMEdry™ technology, five layers work together for total period protection. The top layer quickly wicks away moisture, while the waterproof lining prevents leaks and antimicrobial technology prevents odour.

Should I prewash my DAME reusable liner?
Always pre-wash your reusable period pads before first use. This will help activate the absorbent fabric. Please don't use any fabric softener as it will reduce the absorbency of the pad.
How do I use DAME reusable liners in public bathrooms?
We hope that you’ll feel comfortable changing your liner in a public bathroom but we totally get that people have their own personal preferences. We’ve designed our reusable liner for quick and easy changing whether in a private or public bathroom.
If you are out and about, simply fold each end of the liner inwards and clip the wings over the top - it should look a bit like a little envelope. Pop the folded liner in our waterproof DAME Dry Bag (purchase separately). This bag is odour tight so there's no risk of leaking or smells coming from your bag while you're still out. Once home, you can wash your liner following the care instructions.
Will my DAME liner stain?
Our reusable liner should not stain, although rinsing in cold water before washing should help prevent stains building up over time. If you are concerned about staining, try not to rinse in hot water, as this will set the blood in the fabric. Make sure to wash within 48 hours of use.

Materials
Our reusable liners are made using three layers of fabrics working together:
- Top wicking section to keep you cool and dry with antimicrobial odour control agent to keep you feeling fresh
- Outer layers in DAME green single knit jersey with natural cotton and soft handle for comfort against your skin
- Inner layer of light-weight, absorbent terry for daily comfort
All materials are manufactured without harmful chemicals or finishes. We use natural fibres wherever possible, while making sure DAME pads give you high performance and product longevity.
How to use
- Pop the liner into your underwear black side up
- Pull the wings under the gusset of your underwear and snap the poppers together
- Wear comfortably for 6-8 hrs
Cleaning & Care
After use, rinse in cold water until it runs clear. Wash by hand or add to an existing dark load and machine wash up to 40c and line dry.
