How do I prepare my new Lunapads for use?
If this is your first order, you should wash and use just 1 or 2 of the pads you have ordered, to ensure your comfort and satisfaction prior to using and washing all of them. Cotton has a naturally occurring wax in it. However, the process of preparing the fabric for dying usually requires removing those waxes so dyed and printed fabric will begin to absorb more quickly. Organic Cotton has much less processing, retaining more of the natural waxes. Depending on your water, Organic Cotton pads may need to be washed a couple of times to begin absorbing properly. You can test your pad/liner with a dribble of water until they absorb quickly and effectively.
