Aisle Super Pad
Aisle Super Pad is a washable cloth pad, 13 in by 3.5 in, rated to hold about 8 tampons of flow. It is aimed at heavy flow, overnight use, and postpartum. Snaps on the wings hold it in underwear.
Aisle, formerly Lunapads, was founded in Canada in 1993. A 2024 timeline on the brand site says pads have been produced by the Wu family in East Vancouver since 2000, a relationship that continues. Design work is done in Canada. In 2023 the company was acquired by Somedays.
The outer is 95% organic cotton and 5% spandex. Leakproof layers mix cotton, modal terry, and TPU. Aisle sells the construction as stitched, not glued, and lists OEKO-TEX certification plus a PFAS-free claim.
Wash cold, skip fabric softener and bleach, and dry on low heat. The pad is sold from periodaisle.com for US$20.
