Period Pad FAQs
What pad absorbency should I use?
It's so important to use the right absorbency to suit your flow. Everyone's period flow changes throughout their menstrual phase.
Here's a full breakdown of when to use each absorbency and remember to change your pad frequently. We recommend every 3-4 hours (of more if your period is heavy):
Regular Absorbency:
- 🩸🩸 up to 40 grams
- Can be used for light / medium flow periods or in the middle / towards the end of menstruation
Super Absorbency:
- 🩸🩸🩸 up to 50 grams
- Can be used for heavy flow periods, at the beginning of your period or at night while sleeping

Are Riley products certified GOTS?
Yes! We've been independently reviewed by the Soil Association and our pads and naked tampons are certified GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) which is an organisation developed by leading standard setters to define world-wide recognised requirements for organic textiles.
What is Toxic Shock Syndrome?
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is caused by a reaction of blood and bacteria so while it can happen when a tampon is left in too long, it can also occur with any period product, including pads and reusable products like a menstrual cup and reusable pads. Something else that isn't widely known is that it can actually happen to men, women and children, so it can affect anyone.
We take all necessary precautions to make sure our products are top quality and include zero chlorine bleach, glues, pesticides, toxins or any other harmful chemicals like other mainstream brands but we unfortunately cannot guarantee that TSS will not occur due to it being a result of a bacterial infection from the blood.
Everyone needs to be extremely careful when it comes to TSS and we should be changing our period products every 3-4 hours.
