Eco-Conscious Periods with DAME
Are you looking for a way to be more eco-conscious when it comes to your periods? Are you wanting to try out reusable products but are unsure where to start and how to go about it? Then let me introduce you to DAME.
DAME
I thought it would be best to let DAME tell you all about what they are looking to do and the changes they want to make:
“We’re on a mission to make periods positive for people and the planet. The period industry is full of plastic, chemicals and stigma. Everyone who bleeds deserves better. That’s why we’ve created comfortable and sustainable alternatives to the outdated, mainstream options. Now the best choice for your body is the best choice for your planet. It’s about bloody time. DAME is here to change that, with comfortable, sustainable alternatives.”
In fact, DAME has made sure they offer a huge range of eco-friendly alternatives which include; pads, pants, tampons (and applicators) as well as storage solutions and accessories to try and make your time of the month easier to bare.
Reusable Pad Set with Dry Bag
If you are looking to start off on the road to sustainable period products, then a good place to start could be with towels. Made with DAMEdry™ technology, they include 5 layers which work together to be fast-wicking and odour-proof.
The Reusable Pad Set includes 4 pieces:
- Liner Pad x 1 ○
- Regular Pad x 1 ○○
- Night Pad x1 ○○○
- Watertight Dry Bag x 1
The Liner Pad comes in at 18.5cm long and is best for very light flows, bladder leaks, spotting and discharge. The Regular Pad is 20.5cm long and absorbs around the equivalent of 1 super tampon (9-12 grams). While the Night Pad is 28 cm long and absorbs around the equivalent of 1 DAME super plus tampon (12-25 grams).
This all comes complete with a watertight dry bag, which means, where ever you maybe you will know your used pad is safe until you can get home and clean it.
A Reusable Pad Set with Dry Bag from DAME comes in at £39.99 and over a 5-year period is proven to help save you money.

It’s all very well being eco-conscious, but am I the only person who finds the whole idea of these rather icky? Perhaps it’s because I grew up at a time when santitary towels were sturday, chunky things that did their job, unlike these thin pads today with stick-down wings! But I’ve enough washing to do already; think I’ll have to pass on adding blood-soaked underwear to the pile!
The Lavender Room Mist for my girlfriend as she struggles sleeping.
The Mini Stain Remover Spray sounds like a great product.
I’d like to try the Shortie Period Pant, it looks very comfortable and I think I’d feel safe wearing it.
Mini stain remover sounds great
My partner would have loved to try the period pants but although they say they’re in a good range of sizes “for all Dames” unfortunately she is a 24 and they only go up to a 20. She would like to try the set of reusable pads though.
I would like to try the period pants. I have very heavy periods due to my copper coil and have to use night time towels throughout my period. I always worry about leakage, especially at night. I think they would make me feel much more secure.
I’d most like to try the period pants – I’ve never used these before and I don’t particularly like using tampons, but disposable sanitary towels irritate my skin. I feel like period pants could be the perfect alternative.
The Mini Stain Remover Spray sounds great and could come in useful.
I’d like to try the DAME Storage Pouch which would come in handy.
The lavender room spray sounds nice so I would pick that.
