We spend an average 6.5 years of our lives bleeding. Most women in the world have no access to the luxury of disposable sanitary towels and tampons but the average woman in the 'developed' world uses about 12,000 of these products during her life. |

You put an 'insert' (small liner) inside the pocket of the pad (or a few if you are bleeding heavily) choosing cotton, hemp or towelling inserts. Pads have wings and fasten with velcro so they are very secure!
Moon Times© are hand made with organic and fair-trade cotton (inserts are available in organic hemp as well). Flannelette is both soft and absorbent and used as the 'top' layer- next to your skin.(the patterned flannelette is not organic)
They are an ideal gift for young women new to their menses and for new mothers who need soft cloth against their delicate tissue after giving birth.
Pads and Panty Liners come in 2 choices- totally organic white and naturally dyed or , or non organic coloured, patterned and luxury fabrics (these tend to be bright or pastel prints of flowers, stars, moons etc dependant on what is available)
When you first use Moon Times©, it may seem as if your flow is heavier or lighter than usual- this is natural- I believe that some of the chemicals used in other sanitary products can affect the amount we bleed-also we may not be used to seeing our blood that closely!

Goods 4 Girls Kit£50 including p&p There are many school girls in various African communities who do not have sufficient menstrual supplies to allow them to attend school. Rather than sending disposable pads to communities that most likely do not have waste disposal systems to handle all of the trash created by such products, donate Moon Times© reusable cloth pads for a long-term, sustainable solution.

We empower women in body appreciation, environmental awareness and self-respect through the use of eco menstrual products.
We believe a healthy appreciation of our bodies and ourselves as women can be learnt through menstruation.
We believe when women are aware of the benefits of a sustainable, healthy, economically viable and comfortable alternative, they appreciate the contribution they can make by choosing alternative menstrual products.
We also believe women deeply appreciate learning about alternative and positive ways to think about their bodies.
They look - and feel lovely - so soft! Becky
For the first time ever I'm really looking forward to bleeding! Tanya
They are so much more comfortable than ordinary pads! And prettier too. Thank you! Louise (age 14)
I love my washable pads- for me they are about getting away from the attitude of 'stick in a tampon and forget you're bleeding' and more about honouring your menstruation and the earth. I love watering my garden with my moon blood (from soaking my pads)- I make the whole ritual a sacred ceremony-it's a beautiful thing to connect to your cycle, the moon and the earth...and to other women. Sarah

Not a step back in time but a positive step towards our planet's well being! Even if you only use moons' at night it will reduce the amount of sanitary waste we women produce with 'disposable' products.
Taboos about menstruation have led to expensive, wasteful, polluting sanitary items, which bring unnecessary health and environmental problems. Moon Times© are an alternative to disposable sanitary products.
