The number of people who own one is increasing.

Discomfort in sensitive areas is not normal.
What kind of image do you have when you think of cloth napkins?
Is it a natural-oriented image such as "eco" or "organic"?
Many people may have avoided it from the beginning because they thought it would be a hassle to wash it or that it would be difficult to maintain.
When developing cloth napkins, Rinenna's top priority is to "close to the person's own body."
This time, we will focus on the menstrual period, which is a quarter of a woman's life.
Discomfort in sensitive areas is not normal.
I hope this gives you an opportunity to think about ways to make your uncomfortable menstrual period as comfortable as possible, depending on your body and lifestyle.
Difference between cloth napkins and disposable napkins
First, I will briefly explain the differences in the materials of cloth napkins and disposable napkins, as well as the differences in feel, texture, and water absorption.
Difference in material
Cloth napkins, as the name suggests, are napkins made from cloth such as cotton, flannel, linen, or gauze.
On the other hand, disposable napkins use cotton on the surface, but they also contain water-absorbing polymers and water-repellent non-woven fabrics to solidify menstrual blood. Disposable napkins are also called paper napkins, but the inside is not made of paper, but synthetic fibers.
Differences in feel and texture
Cloth napkins are fluffy and gentle to the touch. Because they are made of cotton, the feeling of wearing a napkin is significantly reduced, and we receive many feedback that they feel stress-free and feel just like underwear.
Disposable napkins absorb menstrual blood and have a smooth texture.
Difference in water absorption
The structure of cloth napkins is very simple. The layered fabric is used as an absorbent body, and utilizes the material's inherent absorbency to absorb menstrual blood.
Many cloth napkins on the market are waterproof and made to prevent leaks.
Disposable napkins use superabsorbent polymers as an absorbent material, which coagulates menstrual blood.
Advantages of cloth napkins
Gentle on the skin and does not cause rashes
Cloth napkins have the advantage of being breathable and less stuffy because the part that comes into contact with the skin is cotton.
We have received many feedback from our customers that it has reduced itching and rashes in their delicate areas.
It has a soft and warm texture that gently protects your skin and is almost as comfortable to wear as underwear, so you won't feel uncomfortable even when you move.
If you are worried about skin problems during menstruation, please try using cloth napkins.
Warms the body, helps keep you warm and improves menstrual pain
What is “onkatsu”?
"Onkatsu" means warming your body to raise your basal body temperature and improve symptoms such as getting cold and feeling unwell.
Warm-up activities are attracting attention because a cold body can cause various health problems.
Modern people tend to have a low basal body temperature, and it is said that the average body temperature of Japanese people is nearly 0.7 degrees lower than it was 50 years ago.
When your body temperature drops, blood flow slows, weakening your immune system, and causing sensitivity to cold and poor health, so cloth napkins are also recommended as a warming item to raise your basal body temperature to an appropriate level .
Particularly during menstruation, the body enters a ``low temperature period'' when its basal body temperature drops, causing the blood to become sticky.
Menstrual pain is the pain that occurs when the sticky blood tries to leave the body.
When your body gets cold and your body temperature drops, your blood tends to clot more easily, so people who are sensitive to cold tend to experience severe menstrual pain.
The secret to the warmth of cloth napkins
Cloth napkins have a simple structure made of layers of cloth and sewn together.
The surface that touches the skin is made of cotton, so it has heat retention and warmth in the winter , and has excellent breathability and water absorption in the summer, making it comfortable to wear.
Even in summer, your body can get cold in an air-conditioned room, but cloth napkins will give you a warm feeling from the moment you put them on.
Even when you're not on your period, adding a cloth napkin over your underwear can have the same effect as wearing underwear under clothes to keep your body warm .
If you are worried about sensitivity to cold or menstrual pain, please try warming your body with cloth napkins.
What is uterine warming?
If warming is an activity that raises the temperature of the body (especially the lower body) by 1 degree Celsius, then what is "uterine warming"? Activities that raise the temperature of the uterus by 1°C? No, it's not.
Since the uterus is internal, it cannot be heated.
``Uterine warming'' refers to activities that ensure smooth blood flow to the uterus and a comfortable daily life with well-balanced hormones.
The use of cloth napkins is very effective in warming a woman's crotch area for uterine warming.
Also reduces odor
The unique odor that occurs during menstruation is caused by menstrual blood being oxidized over time when it comes into contact with the air, and bacteria multiplying.
Rinenna's cloth napkins are made from cotton and have good breathability, so they don't get stuffy, and the interior of the cloth napkins is made of bioguard material that has been treated with antibacterial treatment , making it difficult for bacteria to grow. .
In fact, some customers have reported that the odor has become lighter after switching to cloth napkins.
You can choose your favorite pattern
This goes for everyday clothes and underwear, but wearing something you like gives you a positive feeling.
Cloth napkins are highly fashionable, and one of their appeals is that you can choose your favorite color and design.
sustainable and economical
An initial investment is required, but once you have it, there is no need to stock up on it, and if you take care of it properly, you can use it for several years.
Not only is it good for your wallet as it can be washed and used repeatedly, but it is also good for the environment as it does not generate any waste.
Paper napkins have the advantage of being disposable and easy to use.
There are many types, and some use cotton on the surface, but the interior uses water-absorbing polymers and water-repellent nonwoven fabric to solidify menstrual blood, and is made from petroleum-based polyethylene or polyester. .
More and more people are choosing cloth napkins as an action that takes SDGs into consideration.
