Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you use menstrual pads/sanitary pads for urine loss? + -

  For the best protection against urine loss, it’s best to use incontinence material and not menstrual pads or liners. Menstrual products work differently than incontinence material. Incontinence material is made specifically to absorb urine which is thinner and comes out in larger quantities than menstrual blood. Also, Yoni incontinence material has natural odour control to protect you against the odour that is released from urine. So, it’s best to use incontinence products for urine loss to get the best protection you need. If you are on your period and also experiencing urine loss then it is fine to use menstrual pads/sanitary pads.

• Are Yoni products reusable? + -

  Two of our products, the cup and period proof underwear, are reusable. Yoni organic cotton products (pads, tampons and panty liners) are not reusable but biodegradable and compostable. So, you can throw them on the compost heap.

• Can I flush Yoni tampons or pads? + -

  Yoni tampons and pads are biodegradable but we do not recommend flushing them as all tampons and pads can cause blockages in your plumbing or septic systems.

• Do Yoni products protect just as well as mainstream brands? + -

  Yes! Organic cotton is not only better for your body and the planet, but it’s also highly absorbent and will protect you from leakage as well as synthetic products. Also our pads and liners stay in place due to the strong adhesive backing which is also biodegradable.
