Ah yes—the million-dollar question every smart human asks before letting a pad cozy up to their most sensitive bits: what’s actually in this thing?
Let’s pull back the (waterproof) curtain on Lil Helper’s HyPs and Indiewear reusable pads.
The Materials
Our pads are built for comfort, performance, and peace of mind. Each one is made from carefully chosen, high-quality materials that work together like a dream team:
Stay-Dry Top Layer – Wicks moisture away so you feel fresh and dry. Polyester with bamboo interwoven in.
Absorbent Core – Multiple soft layers designed to hold everything from a light dribble to a heavy flow. Bamboo terry (aka another bamboo/polyester blend).
Waterproof Backing (PUL) – Keeps leaks where they belong: not on your pants, sheets, or dignity. Polyurethane Laminate aka polyester. The best part? We make this with recycled materials! Also features anti-slip silicone dots.
Certified Safe (Because You Deserve That)
All of our fabrics are Oeko-Tex and CPSIA certified, which means they’ve been independently tested and proven free from harmful substances like:
BPA
Parabens
Formaldehyde
Lead
Phthalates
PFAs
No weird coatings, no chemical finishes, no mystery ingredients.
Fragrance-Free, Guilt-Free
We believe your pads shouldn’t try to smell like a spring meadow. (You’re a person, not a car air freshener.) That’s why HyPs and Indiewear are 100% fragrance-free—no perfumes, no irritants, just soft, breathable fabrics that let your body do its thing naturally.
Our customers report that they smell BETTER than disposable alternatives. Likely due to the breathability and lack of harsh additives.
The Bottom Line
You get reliable protection made with safe, tested, and thoughtfully chosen materials—no plastic crinkle, no mystery scents, and no reason to worry.
Because when it comes to what touches your skin every day (or night), you deserve joy, empathy, and dignity.
