Gusher Pads: The Ultimate Solution for Heavy Flow & Light Incontinence
What Are Gusher Pads?
Let’s start with the name. No, I didn’t come up with it—that honor belongs to the original designer of this unique pad style from years ago. While some people have strong opinions about the name (and the internet never fails to provide unsolicited commentary), in the Cloth Pad Community, “Gusher Pads” are a well-known and respected design.
Whether you love the name or not, if you experience:
✔ A super heavy, fast, gushing flow
✔ Clotting during your period
✔ Light to mild bladder incontinence
…and you’re not using Gusher Pads, you’re seriously missing out!
How Gusher Pads Work
At first glance, Gusher Pads look just like our regular cloth pads—they come in the same shapes, lengths, and base absorbencies. But what sets them apart is their specialized layered design, made to handle fast, heavy flow in a way that traditional pads can’t.
Each Gusher Pad features 4-5 extra layers of absorbent fabric, sewn directly under the topper but on top of the core. These layers are stitched down in patterns like stripes, stars, or hearts, then carefully slit open—leaving one layer intact over the core.
Why does this matter? Because over time, with each wash, these slits naturally fray—creating tiny wicks that draw in and direct fluid straight to the absorbent core.
Why You’ll Love Gusher Pads
✔ Fast Absorption for Gushing Flow – No more overwhelming your pad in seconds! The frayed channels pull fluid in quickly and help distribute it evenly to prevent leaks.
✔ Prevents Sliding & Discomfort from Clots – If you have a clotty flow, these channels will hold onto clots, preventing that awkward movement or shifting.
✔ Better Protection for Light Bladder Leaks – The built-in channels help direct fluid into the core, preventing it from running over the edges or wings before absorption.
Important Note: Our Gusher Pads & Regular Pads are suitable for light to mild bladder incontinence (stress leaks from laughing, sneezing, or sudden movement). They have NOT been tested for partial or full bladder emptying and are NOT recommended for those needs.
