The story of cloth napkins | Goods suitable for a sustainable era [Merger]

Are you bothered by the image that cloth napkins seem like a hassle?


What kind of image do you have of "cloth napkins"? Do you have a natural-oriented image of "eco" or "organic"? Of course, I think that such a way of thinking is very important, but I feel that many people shy away from it from the beginning because this image is so strong.
When developing cloth napkins, Rinenna's top priority is to "close to the person's own body."
We created a stylish design that goes beyond conventional images, hoping that you can wear it as if you were choosing underwear.

Cloth napkins have the advantages of disposable napkins

I got the idea to create cloth napkins when I was suffering from lochia after giving birth.
The condition, similar to that of a heavy menstrual period, lasted for almost a month, and the pain in my body compounded, making me feel more and more uncomfortable.
At that time, I tried using cloth napkins and they were much more comfortable to wear.
Cloth napkins are made from the same fabric as the underwear you normally wear, so they feel just as stress-free as usual.
However, I feel sticky and uncomfortable after menstrual blood comes out.
The fact is that this could not compete with the comfort of disposable napkins.
However, it is said that the absorbent used in disposable napkins has a cooling effect when solidifying water, and could this be a factor in making your body feel cold? This suspicion arose, and we set out to create a product that would be as comfortable to use as a cloth napkin, similar to a disposable napkin.

“Cloth diapers” and “cloth napkins” look the same but are completely different

Reasons to make the uncomfortable times of menstruation more comfortable

Rinenna has been making cloth diapers under its predecessor brand, Estlance, since 2012, so I was wondering if they could also make cloth napkins, which seem to fall into the same category.
Diapers and napkins have completely different goals.
There is no problem with cloth diapers used by babies being uncomfortable when caring for them.
Rather, I would like you to clearly feel the discomfort and let me know.
However, when it comes to napkins, discomfort is the enemy.
That feeling of moisture-filled fabric touching your body.
While it's uncomfortable, it's also a delicate area, so if it stays stuffy for a long time, you're worried about rashes.
As you can see from the evolution of disposable napkins, ``absorbency'' is the most important factor in providing a comfortable feeling.

Hints from baby cloth diapers

Aiming to be able to comfortably spend even the "heaviest day" of the several days of menstruation, I tried it out on my own body, tried it out, and tried it out.
After five years of work, we have finally created a fabric napkin that is both comfortable and absorbent.
After trying many different materials, I finally settled on 100% cotton fabric for baby cloth diapers.
Rinenna's four-layer cloth napkins feature an absorbent cotton fabric on the inside, and a dobby weave on the surface that touches the skin for a comfortable fit.
Another point is that it is not voluminous, but is thin enough to fit your body without leaking.
It has a design that is easy to incorporate into your daily life without changing into a pants style.

How to start using cloth napkins

How to wash cloth napkins in an easy way that keeps them clean

When using cloth napkins, one thing to be concerned about is dirt.
Blood stains are among the most stubborn stains on clothing.
Even if you wash your clothes as usual, there will be ring-like stains left behind, or slight brown pigmentation, which is difficult to remove completely.
Therefore, for those who are starting to use Rinenna cloth napkins for the first time, we recommend washing them with Rinenna laundry detergent.
With its unique formulation, Rinenna's detergent is strong against protein stains and can even handle blood stains! Just put the menstrual blood-stained cloth napkins directly into the bucket containing the detergent.
When loading, keep the dirty side facing down.
There's no need to wash them before putting them in. If you're using cloth napkins for the first time, the starter set is a convenient set that includes a bucket with a lid and Rinenna #1, which is convenient for soaking and washing.

Recommended use depending on your lifestyle

Cloth napkins cannot be thrown away even if they are replaced.
If this is a problem for you, try incorporating them into your daily life by using disposable napkins when you go out or work, and cloth napkins when spending time at home.
Also, when you're wondering if it's time to start, it's a good idea to use lightweight cloth napkins in advance.
It feels just like regular underwear and is stress-free for your skin, so you can face the day with peace of mind.
In addition, the Rinenna detergent included in the starter set is useful for things other than cloth napkin life.
When menstrual blood leaks from disposable napkins or when your underwear gets stained with vaginal discharge, you can use Rinenna to remove the dirt from the root and keep it clean.

In an era of sustainability.
Why cloth napkins are recommended

A sustainable society is one that does not damage the earth's environment, does not overuse resources, and allows future generations to continue living peacefully and prosperously on a beautiful earth.
Now that we are spending more time at home, cloth napkins are not disposable, but can be washed and reused.
Why not start living with cloth napkins that are comfortable for your body and life with Rinenna, which allows you to see the state of your menstrual blood when washing, allowing you to naturally deal with your physical condition?
