“With confidence, you have won before you have started.”
We inspire confidence here at Dauntless Pads☀️

Period Poverty is real and reusable sanitary wear is our best fighting chance. Give one packet of disposable pads is a temporary fix to a long term problem.

It’s estimated that one in 10 girls in Africa will miss school when they have their periods.
Lack of access to sanitary products means some are resorting to using contraceptive injections to control them.

No one should be ashamed about their period.

Our cloth pads go to much deserving young girls who can now unleash their full potential without having to worry or feel self conscious about their periods. We promote self love. Love your body by using organic cloth pads which are safer and sustainable.

Period shaming perpetuates the idea that periods are strange or abnormal, which is ridiculous when we consider that approximately half of the world’s seven billion people have experienced or will experience menstruation at some point in their lives. Shaming a woman for having a period is like shaming a man for growing a 5 o’clock shadow every day.

Periods are a lot of things: They are sometimes messy and painful, and they are at times inconvenient and annoying. One thing they are not is shameful. And yet, many women learn from a young age that their periods — normal biological functions that happen every single month — are wrong somehow, that menstruation is embarrassing, that we should try to keep it hidden, that we shouldn’t talk about it, and that “She must be on her period” really means “She’s crazy.” Period shaming is widespread and insidious and it should stop.

Why would I want to use cloth pads instead of disposables?

While it’s a personal choice, there are several good reasons for switching to reusable pads. You can:

Keep thousands of disposable feminine hygiene products out of landfills.
Save money by not having to buy pads each and every month.
Experience the comfort of wearing soft, non-synthetic fabrics next to your body.
Have less exposure to potentially unhealthy chemicals.

One in five girls and young women are teased or bullied about their periods, with many suffering in silence. Help make a young woman’s period shame free.
