Frequently Asked Questions
About Black Period Pads
Why are the pads black?
Our signature black absorbent core makes stains invisible — not hidden, not masked, but genuinely invisible. Your pads look brand new after wash #1, wash #10, and wash #100. No more scrubbing, soaking, or pre-treating to get stains out. The black core eliminates stain anxiety entirely.
What is the difference between the Super Pads and Extended Liners?
The Black Super Pads Set ($49.95) includes 4 heavy-flow pads designed for your heaviest days and overnight protection. The Black Extended Liner Set ($44.95) includes 5 lighter liners perfect for light flow days, spotting, or as backup protection. Many customers buy both for complete cycle coverage.
Who is Topsy Daisy?
Black Period Pads is a brand by Topsy Daisy, an established reusable period product company. Your order ships with Topsy Daisy packaging and is fulfilled through their supply chain. Same quality, same team — just a focused brand for women who want the stain-free advantage of black pads.
Using Your Pads
How do I wash reusable pads?
It is simpler than you think. Rinse in cold water after use, then toss in the washing machine on a cold or warm cycle with your regular detergent. Hang dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets — they reduce absorbency. Every order includes our Stain-Free Wash Guide with detailed care instructions.
How absorbent are they?
The Super Pads use a 4-layer construction with a leak-proof backing, designed for heavy flow and overnight use. The Extended Liners are built for light flow, spotting, and daily protection. Both feature our black absorbent core that performs cycle after cycle without degradation.
How long do they last?
With proper care, our pads last 3+ years. That means a $49.95 set works out to about $0.04 per use — compared to $0.25-0.50 per disposable pad that you throw away.
Can I use them at work or school?
Absolutely. Every set includes a waterproof carry bag designed specifically for discreet pad changes on the go. Fold the used pad, place it in the bag, and carry on. The bag is waterproof and odor-resistant.
Are reusable pads sanitary?
Yes. When washed properly (cold rinse + machine wash), reusable pads are completely hygienic. They are made from body-safe materials and do not contain the chemicals, fragrances, or plastics found in many disposable pads. Our Wash Guide covers everything you need to maintain proper hygiene.
