Empowering Access to Safe, Reliable Period Care

At HDI Wholesale, we believe access to menstrual products is a matter of dignity and health — not luxury. For schools, shelters, healthcare providers, and non-profit organizations, having the right mix of wholesale period products ensures that everyone who menstruates can manage their cycle with comfort and confidence.

Menstrual products have evolved tremendously over the years, giving people more options to match their personal needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Below, we explore the most common types of menstrual products available in bulk — how they work, how to use them safely, and why offering a variety makes such a powerful difference.

1. Disposable Pads

Disposable pads are among the most commonly used menstrual products around the world. Designed for single use, they are worn externally to absorb menstrual flow and prevent leaks. Pads come in a wide range of thicknesses, lengths, and absorbencies to meet different flow levels — from ultra-thin liners for light days to overnight pads with extra coverage.

How to Use:
To use a disposable pad, remove it from its wrapper and peel off the adhesive backing. Place the sticky side down in the center of your underwear so it stays in place throughout the day. Some pads have wings that fold over the sides of your underwear for added protection against leaks.

Hygiene & Safety Tips:
It’s important to change your pad every 4–6 hours or sooner if it becomes saturated. This helps prevent irritation, odor, and bacterial growth. Always wash your hands before and after changing a pad, and wrap used pads in their wrapper or tissue before placing them in the trash. Pads should never be flushed down the toilet.

Why Buy in Bulk:
For outreach programs, charities, and community organizations, wholesale disposable pads are an affordable, reliable solution that ensures consistent comfort and hygiene for people who menstruate. Stocking them in bulk helps you provide dependable period care in schools, shelters, and humanitarian relief centers where immediate accessibility is crucial.

2. Disposable Tampons

Tampons are a discreet, comfortable option for many people who menstruate. Made from absorbent materials, tampons are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual flow before it leaves the body. They come in a range of absorbencies — from light to super-plus — and can include applicators for easier insertion.

How to Use:
Relax your body before inserting the tampon. With clean hands, insert the tampon gently into the vagina using the applicator (if included) until it feels comfortable. Once properly in place, you should not feel any discomfort or pressure. The attached string remains outside the body to help with easy removal.

Hygiene & Safety Tips:
Tampons should be changed every 4–6 hours and never left in for more than 8 hours. Doing so can increase the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a rare but serious infection. Always use the lowest absorbency needed for your flow and wash your hands before and after insertion. Used tampons should be wrapped and thrown away — not flushed.

Why Buy in Bulk:
Tampons are a popular choice for those who value convenience, mobility, and discretion. Offering them in bulk ensures that you’re providing options that empower individuals to manage their periods confidently — whether they’re at work, school, or on the move.

3. Washable Cloth Pads

Washable cloth pads are an eco-friendly alternative to disposable pads. They are made from layers of soft, absorbent fabric (like cotton or bamboo) that can be washed and reused for years. Many come with snap closures that keep them securely in place and are available in various sizes and thicknesses for different flow levels.

How to Use:
Wear a washable pad just like a disposable one — secure it in your underwear with the fasteners or wings. Change your pad every 4–8 hours, depending on how heavy your flow is. When you’re away from home, wrap your used pad in a small waterproof pouch or bag until it can be washed.

Cleaning & Care:
Rinse used pads with cold water to remove excess blood before washing them by hand or in a washing machine. Use mild, unscented detergent and air dry in sunlight when possible — the UV rays help naturally disinfect the fabric. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can reduce absorbency and wear down the material.

Why Buy in Bulk:
For a sustainability-focused charity or programs working in areas where waste disposal is a challenge, washable pads are a game-changer. Buying them wholesale provides a long-term, eco-conscious option that reduces environmental waste while maintaining comfort and reliability.

4. Menstrual Cups

Menstrual cups are a reusable, medical-grade silicone product designed to collect rather than absorb menstrual flow. The bell-shaped cup is inserted into the vagina, where it forms a gentle seal to prevent leaks. One cup can last up to 10 years, making it one of the most cost-effective menstrual solutions available.

How to Use:
Before using a menstrual cup, wash your hands and fold the cup for easier insertion. Once inside, the cup will open and create a light seal. You can wear it for 6–12 hours, depending on your flow. To remove, gently pinch the base to release the seal, then pull it out carefully. Empty the contents into the toilet, rinse the cup, and reinsert.

Cleaning & Care:
After each use, wash the cup with warm water and mild, unscented antibacterial soap. Between cycles, sanitize it by boiling it in water for 5–10 minutes or using steam sterilization. Store your clean cup in a breathable cotton pouch. Proper cleaning ensures hygiene and longevity.

Why Buy in Bulk:
Menstrual cups are an excellent choice for programs promoting sustainability, cost savings, and menstrual education. Their long lifespan makes them ideal for long-term distribution initiatives in schools, refugee programs, or international health organizations.

Why Offer a Range of Period Products

Menstrual care is personal — and what works well for one person might not for another. Offering a range of products ensures that every individual can choose what’s most comfortable, affordable, and culturally appropriate for them.

By providing multiple period product options, organizations can:

• Promote dignity and choice among recipients.
