My reusable menstrual products journey is the story of how washable pads and cups started being stocked on Nappyneedz. For our tenth anniversary I’m sharing some of the behind the scenes stories from the last ten years.

For a while, I used unbleached organic cotton tampons and pads, but they were still disposable, which isn’t great.

Designing the dinky nappy When I first set up Nappyneedz back in 2010, I was making nearly all of the products that we sold. The first cloth nappies that I had were quite basic. But this soon evolved into the dinky nappy . This combined lots of the features ...
