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.
- Fast drying
- Soft on skin
- Leak proof
- 4 layers of protection
- Replaces up to 1000 plastic pads

Should I prewash my DAME reusable pads?
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 pads in public bathrooms?
We hope that you’ll feel comfortable changing your pad in a public bathroom but we totally get that people have their own personal preferences. We’ve designed our reusable pads for quick and easy changing whether in a private or public bathroom.
If you are out and about, simply fold each end of the pad inwards and clip the wings over the top - it should look a bit like a little envelope. Pop the folded pad 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 pad following the care instructions.
Will my DAME pads stain?
Our reusable pads 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.

Infused with SILVADUR™ antimicrobial silver ions to inhibit bacterial growth, control odours and create long lasting freshness without toxic chemicals. Additionally there is a waterproof layer inside the pad to prevent leaking.
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.
