With ImseVimse’s washable cloth pads and reusable panty liners, made from organic cotton, you will save a lot of waste! The reusable pads provide a soft and natural period protection that treats your skin right and is free of chemicals. The snap-free reusable sanitary pads and reusable panty liners are well suited for those with an active lifestyle. Perfect for horseback riding and riding a bicycle without the snap buttons causing discomfort.
Made entirely of organic cotton, the washable panty liners are great for everyday use or as a complement to a menstrual cup.
The reusable pads by Imse Vimse contain a thin layer of certified PUL (polyurethane laminate polyester) making them leak-proof. You’re probably thinking: polyester, isn’t that plastic? That's right, but the amount of plastic that is used is very small compared to single-use sanitary pads and is reused over and over again. PUL ensures that the washable pads are leak-free. We have not yet found a suitable alternative. You do? Please let us know!

How to use the regular pad
The reusable pad with the label contains the PUL layer to prevent leakage and should be folded first and should be closest to the underwear. The other side does not contain PUL, it only contains layers for absorption.
Fun Fact
Milieu Centraal calculated that the average person disposes of approximately 10,000 tampons or cloth pads in their life. That is 90 kilos of cloth pads or 60 kilos of tampons in residual waste. Washing reusable cloth pads will also have an impact on the environment. At this moment, not enough research has been conducted to conclude whether disposable or reusable menstrual products are better for the environment. However, Milieu Centraal compared disposable and reusable diapers. This study has shown that reusable diapers are better for the environment, even if you take into account washing and production.
About the brand
ImseVimse's story started 30 years ago when founder Marie Walleberg, in a desperate search for a cure for her daughter's diaper rash, found the soothing magic of cloth diapering. And just like that, her daughter's painful rash disappeared. When Marie realized that organic cotton cloth diapers were the solution to her childs diaper exzema, she decided to let more people share the insight.
Imse believes that many people choose disposable menstrual protection without thinking that there are alternatives. Or that those alternatives have economic as well as health and environmental benefits. Imse would like to change that. Therfore, Imse develops hygiene products that are practical and reusable and at the same time wants to contribute to more transparency and knowledge about menstruation. ImseVimse's vision is to be part of making sustainable consumption the norm, not the exception.
ImseVimse makes products like reusable panty liners, reusable sanitary pads, tampons, period underwear, cleansing wipes, cotton pads and nursing pads. ImseVimse products are gentle on skin and the environment, and because they are washable, they can be used countless times. ImseVimse's products are not packed in plastic, but in FSC-certified cardboard.
ImseVimse understands that the longer a product can be used, the fewer resources we need to extract from the earth to make new ones. All of ImseVimse's cotton products contain 100% organic cotton. Respecting the workers in the cotton fields, as well as wildlife and nature, ImseVimse chooses certified organic cotton. ImseVimse offers non-toxic products - which can be worn safely against the skin.
ImseVimse takes into account the distance between its central warehouse and the production site. ImseVimse's products are produced mainly in Latvia and in Turkey. Turkey, because organic cotton grows there. Organic cotton cannot be grown in Sweden so local production is unfortunately not possible.
In 2022, the ImseVimse brand split into the Imse brand for reusable hygiene products and the Vimse brand for sustainable children's products.
