At Hygienix 2025 last week, Confitex, a maker of reusable hygiene products, received the 2025 Hygienix Innovation Award for its washable nonwoven period pads.

By stabilizing nonwoven materials, Confitex was able to create a washable personal hygiene product that can be produced cost-effectively at scale without compromising performance and the need for SAPs, proving that high performance and sustainability can coexist, according to Frantisek Riha-Scott, founder and CEO. This material brings together the familiarity and performance of single-use products with the washability, lower cost per use and reduced waste of resuables.

Compared to a single-use period care product that costs 29 cents per use and uses 0.5 grams of nonwovens; Confitex’s washable nonwoven pad has a cost per use of 22 cents and uses eight grams of nonwovens. The washable pad also has an absorbency of 17.5 ml compared to 10 ml for a single-use pad.

The technology behind the Confitex pad integrates and stabilizes nonwoven fibers with a proprietary bonding technology allowing it to be machine washable and dryer safe for consumer convenience without sacrificing the familiarity, feel and convenience of single-use products. Additionally, the pad is enhanced with Confitex’s washable adhesives.
