The rash from the adhesive. The plastic crinkle sound in a quiet bathroom. The $15 box gone in four days. Waking up to leaked-through sheets despite using a "heavy flow" pad. If any of that sounds familiar, you're not the problem. The product is.

Our Menstrual Pads Essential Pack is a complete system designed to help you find your perfect menstrual flow solution.

Option 1: Regular–Heavy Flow Pack

Best for: light-to-moderate cycles, first-time switchers, everyday backup

*1 HyPs Liner: Your light-day and discharge companion. Also pairs perfectly with a menstrual cup or tampon on your heavier days.

*2 HyPs Regular: For moderate flow days when a liner isn't quite enough. 

*2 HyPs Heavy: Your workhorse pad. Made for heavy days, long shifts, and overnight use

*1 HyPs Max: The big one. 16 inches, 5 layers of absorbency. Holds up to 80–100 mL; that's 8–10 super tampons' worth. Built for your heaviest nights and postpartum recovery.

*1 Combo Bag: Two-compartment bag for clean and used pads. Discreet enough for your purse, PUL-lined to contain everything.

*1 Mesh Laundry Bag: Toss your HyPs in here on wash day. Protects the pads and keeps them from getting lost in the machine.

Option 2: Heavy–Super Heavy Flow Pack

Best for: heavy bleeders, PCOS, endometriosis, postpartum recovery, or overnight warriors

*1 HyPs Regular: For the lighter tail-end days of a heavy cycle.

*3 HyPs Heavy: Maximum coverage for your peak flow days. Use these back-to-back on your heaviest days.

*2 HyPs Max: Double up for overnight, postpartum, or very heavy flow. Two Max pads means you're covered even when you can't change for hours.

*1 Combo Bag: Two-compartment bag for clean and used pads.

*1 Mesh Laundry Bag — For easy, mess-free machine washing.

Reusable pads Size Comparison

Every layer in a HyPs pad has a specific job.

The blue top layer (bamboo/polyester stay-dry blend) touches your skin and wicks moisture away fast; that's why you feel dry, not damp, even hours in.

The absorbent core is bamboo terry; 80% rayon from bamboo, 20% polyester. Soft, breathable, and built to hold fluid without getting heavy or stiff. The Liner and Regular have 2 layers; the Heavy has 3; the Max has 5.

The waterproof backing is recycled polyester PUL; a hidden layer that stops any leaks from reaching your underwear, without adding bulk.

The wings snap in two positions, so you can adjust the fit for different underwear styles.

No fragrance. No dye against your skin. No forever chemicals. All materials are Oeko-Tex certified and CPSIA tested; free of PFAS, PFOA, BPA, parabens, formaldehyde, lead, and phthalates.

How to Wash Them (It's Easier Than You Think)

-Rinse under cold water after use until the water runs mostly clear

-Store in your Combo Bag or a wet bag until wash day

-Machine wash cold or warm; toss the Mesh Bag right in with your regular laundry

-Hang dry, or tumble dry on low for up to 20 minutes

-No bleach. No fabric softener. That's it.

Stains rare, but if they show up? Sun-dry. Direct sunlight removes residual staining without any products.

Complete Leak Protection

Complete Leak Protection

A hidden waterproof core provides complete leak protection without bulk. Ideal for menstrual use, light incontinence, or sweat, these reusable pads with wings keep you dry, comfy, and confident.

Soft & Super Absorbent

Soft & Super Absorbent

Made with moisture-wicking bamboo terry layers and a waterproof PUL barrier, each menstrual pad keeps you dry, comfy, and secure. HyPs Original absorbs it all: sweat, spotting, even light incontinence—so you can enjoy your day without worry.

Earth-Loving and Wallet-Friendly

Earth-Loving & Wallet-Friendly

Ditch the disposables! These reusable period pads are not just gentle on the planet but also on your wallet. Wash, reuse, and love them for years—no special care required. They're sustainable period products that don't scrimp on quality or savings.

Why You'll Love HyPs Original

Why You'll Love HyPs Original

They stay dry. The blue layer against your skin is our bamboo stay-dry wicking material; it pulls moisture away from your body fast. You feel dry even hours into wearing it. That's not marketing language; it's the most common thing customers say after their first wear.

"I wore one of these pads for the first time today (all day!) and I was SO comfortable. It stayed in place, didn't bunch up at all, and I was dry the entire day." — Hannah, verified buyer

They don't smell. Disposable pads smell because scented chemicals react with blood. HyPs have no fragrances, no additives, no chemicals at all. Most users are genuinely surprised; there's no unpleasant odor, even after hours of wear.

They hold more than you expect. A super tampon holds about 10 mL. The HyPs Heavy holds 30–40 mL. The Max holds 80–100 mL. You can stop doing hourly bathroom checks.

"I have a very heavy cycle and these pads are a lifesaver! Stay dry all day!" — Ashley, verified buyer

They don't feel like a diaper. Multiple thin bamboo terry layers provide serious absorbency without bulk. The profile stays slim; wear them under leggings, jeans, or scrubs without it being visible or noticeable.

What is unique about each size?

Built for Real Life

HyPs aren't just for people with straightforward periods. The Essential Starter Pack works for:

Heavy bleeders and PCOS/endometriosis warriors: the Heavy–Super Heavy option was built for you. The Max holds more than any standard disposable on the market.

Postpartum recovery: HyPs Heavy and Max provide the coverage you need in the first days and weeks after birth, without the adhesive rash or plastic discomfort of hospital-grade disposables.

Shift workers and long days: nurses, teachers, anyone who can't always get to a bathroom on schedule. Multiple customers report wearing their HyPs through 12-hour nursing home shifts with no issues.

"Wore it on 12hr nursing home shifts. No issues at all." — S.J., verified buyer

Sensitive skin and chemical sensitivities: no fragrances, no dyes against your skin, no adhesive. PFAS-free, PFOA-free, Oeko-Tex certified, and tested free of BPA, parabens, formaldehyde, lead, and phthalates.

People new to reusable pads: the starter aspect of this pack is intentional. You get the full range of sizes so you can discover what your cycle actually needs, without committing to 15 of the same pad before you know what works.

Make Reusables Easy with Our Complete System

What's Inside the Pack

This isn't just a collection of pads. It's a complete system built around how people actually use reusable pads: at home, at work, and on the go.

The HyPs pads cover your full cycle, from light liner days through your heaviest overnight moments. Each size has its job, and this pack gives you the range to figure out what your flow actually needs without buying blind.

The Combo Bag has two compartments: clean pads on one side, used pads on the other. Small enough for a purse. PUL-lined to contain odor and moisture. The thing that makes changing in a public bathroom genuinely non-stressful.

The Mesh Laundry Bag keeps your pads together in the wash and protects them from wear. Toss the whole bag in. Done.

"The fact that they come with both the wet bag and the wash bag is a lifesaver. I feel like the bags are the right size to go in a purse, as opposed to others I have used that always seem too bulky." — Caity M., verified buyer

Not all period pads are created equal. See how HyPs compare to disposables and other cloth pads, on the things that actually matter.

The stay-dry layer is what most cloth pads skip. The Oeko-Tex certification is what most disposables can't claim. And the part about lasting years instead of landing in a landfill? That's just math.

Ready to make the switch? The HyPs Essential Starter Pack gives you the full range to find what works for your flow, risk-free.

Nope. HyPs are multiple thin layers shaped to follow your body, not add bulk to it. Customers consistently report forgetting they're wearing one. The Max is our largest pad, and it still disappears under leggings.
This surprises almost everyone: reusable pads without chemicals actually smell less than disposables. The odor in disposable pads comes from a scented chemical reaction with blood. HyPs have no fragrance, no additives, and no chemical reaction, so there's very little to smell, even after hours of wear.
The dark bamboo stay-dry top layer resists staining and washes clean easily. Most people see no staining at all. If there is any residual discoloration, a few hours in direct sunlight handles it completely.
Fold the used pad inward. Tuck it into the used side of your Combo Bag. Pull out a fresh one. Done; in about 30 seconds, no more noise than folding a piece of fabric. Far less crinkling than opening a disposable wrapper.
Liner: 10–20 mL (2–4 tampons' worth). Regular: 20–30 mL (4–6 tampons). Heavy: 30–40 mL (6–8 tampons). Max: 80–100 mL (up to 20 tampons' worth). For context, a super tampon holds about 10 mL.
Most people use 3–4 pads per day of their cycle. This 6-pad pack covers most people for 1–2 days with daily washing, or a lighter full cycle without washing. It's designed as a starter system so you can dial in your stash before buying more.
Yes! Light bladder leaks, postpartum recovery, discharge, and sweat. The Heavy and Max work well for light incontinence. For more substantial incontinence needs, we also make Indiewear Incontinence Pads.
No. Every HyPs pad is PFAS and PFOA free, Oeko-Tex certified, and CPSIA tested; free of BPA, parabens, formaldehyde, lead, and phthalates. No fragrances or dyes touch your skin.
The blue side; that's the stay-dry bamboo wicking layer. The printed fabric faces your underwear.

I’m shook!

I was hesitant to try reusable pads, but I am officially converted! My flow has been significantly heavier after having three babies and I’ve been having a hard time adjusting to this change/finding the right products. I wore one of these pads for the first time today (all day!) and I was SO comfortable. It stayed in place, didn’t bunch up at all, and I was dry the entire day. This is some NASA-type technology I swear. I also appreciate that they are long enough to feel covered front to back.

It is clear that this company cares about their consumers and thinks about everything we would want in a product. You have a supporter for life!

We are tickled pink to hear that you overcame your hesitation of reusable pads and ended up loving them after trying ours! We understand how difficult it can be to adjust to changes in flow, especially after having children. We're thrilled to know that our HyPs provided you with comfort, security, and dryness throughout the day. We love connecting with our customers to create new products and improve upon our existing ones; thank you for being here with us as a part of the Lil Helper community.

Worth Every Cent

I knew prior to purchasing this pack that the quality was going to be great and that the pads were going to do a great job. Even knowing this, once everything arrived and was put to use, my expectations were completely blown out of the water.

The absorbency is beyond belief with absolutely no "wet feel". The materials leave NO issue with discomfort or irritation, even if you end up in the unfortunate situation of being stuck in the one pad for the entire day without the chance the change out.

The pads are easy to use, dont move around, do the job better than any other product I have ever used, and are easy to clean. The fact that they come with both the wet bag and the wash bag is a life saver, and I feel like the bags are the right size to go in a purse, as opposed to others I have used that always seem too bulky.

If you aren't sure whether you are ready to commit to re-usable products, this is your sign. These will not let you down, the number of pads that come in this pack and the range in sizes is great for heavy, long cycles, and the customer service check in call was a beautiful touch too.

Hiya, Caity! My goodness, you have us seeing stars as we read your 5 star review of your Menstrual Pads Essential Pack! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review! We're just over the moon to hear that our product exceeded your expectations and provided absorbency and comfort when you needed it most. We're also glad that our wet and wash bags are helpful and convenient for you. The whole system together can truly be life changing and your review is a testament of that! Thank you for choosing to make the switch to reusable products - we're so glad to have you as a satisfied customer. Have a lovely day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

I wish there a bit more materials at the top of the nighttime pad. Im a tummy so it 'leaked' through the top. But otherwise is a good product. Wore it on 12hr nursing home shifts. No issues at all

Hey Shaniqua! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your experience with your Menstrual Pads Essential Pack Regular - Heavy! We are thrilled to hear that they are serving you well during your nursing home shifts. We understand the importance of having a good fit (especially during sleep, those ZzZz's are precious!) so we are here to help troubleshoot a better fit for nighttime use. Some folks find that flipping their pads backwards provides more coverage; this may be a tip that works for you! We also offer HyPs in a Max size that is a bit longer than the Heavy and Interlabial Pads that could help to add more absorption. If you are looking for any additional help, our Delight Team is always here and can be reached at delight @ lilhelper. ca (no spaces) :) We hope you have an amazing day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
