Reusable Menstrual Pads

LastPad is a Zero Waste Pad That is Easy and Comfortable

— August 6, 2021 — Eco
As consumers become more aware – and concerned – with the amount of waste entering our landfills each year, many are looking for sustainable alternatives, like LastPad. Created by LastObject, a company dedicated to creating products that can be reused (hence the name, the last object you will need to buy).

LastPad is available in three different sizes – from panty liners to overnight and can be used over 300 times. Each pad comes with a water-proof, smell-free carrying pouch. In addition, they are simple to clean. Simply wash them as you would your normal clothes.

The new LastPad will officially launch via Kickstarter on September 1st, 2021, however, fans can sign up to receive a notification on launch day.
