Millie Pad™ Fabric Guide

🌿Every Millie Pad™ is thoughtfully made with high-performing fabrics that are gentle on your skin and kind to the Earth. Below you’ll find details about each material we use — including what makes it special, how it feels, and why we chose it.

🧵 Toppers: What Touches Your Skin

These fabrics make direct contact with your body. They’re chosen for softness, breathability, and comfort:

💧 Cores: The Absorbent Middle Layer

This is the hidden fabric that does the heavy lifting — soaking up moisture quickly and holding it securely without bulk:

🛡️ Backings: The Waterproof Protection

This is the outermost layer that prevents leaks and keeps your clothes dry. It’s soft, slim, and built to last:

Are Millie Pads plastic-free?

Millie Pads™ are designed to reduce single-use plastic waste. Disposable pads are made with up to 90% plastic and thrown away after just a few hours of use, while ours are reusable and carefully crafted for comfort, absorbency, and durability.

For reliable leak protection, we use a special performance fabric (Zorb® 4D Stay Dry Dimple ECO-PUL™) that combines absorbency with a thin waterproof backing made from flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). This layer is what makes Millie Pads™ leak-resistant while staying soft and comfortable to wear. It is USA-made, CPSIA-compliant, and tested free from harmful substances such as PFAS, PFOS, PFOA, phthalates, lead, dioxins, BPA. The lamination process is also eco-conscious, designed without releasing VOCs into the environment.

💡 In short: Millie Pads™ avoid the crinkly, throwaway plastics found in disposables, but do include advanced fabrics that make them safe, reusable, and reliably leak-proof for years of use.

👜 Wrapper & Wet Bag Materials

While not part of our reusable pad lineup, our Millie Pad Wrappers and Wet Bags are essential companions in your sustainable cycle. They’re crafted for convenience, durability, and peace of mind — especially when you’re on the go.

Retired Fabrics (for reference)

These fabrics were previously used in select Millie Pads™ but are no longer part of our active collection. They remain safe, thoughtfully sourced, and printed with water-based inks — we’ve simply chosen to focus on other materials that better support our long-term vision of comfort, sustainability, and intentional production.
