A reusable pad, such as those intended for protection during menstrual periods, is provided that includes an inner layer made of two layers of natural cellulose fabric, the layers of natural cellulose fiber bonded together by a biodegradable polyurethane film. Two intermediate layers of absorbent organic bamboo fabric are also provided, along with an outer cover formed by a fabric made from cotton. The inner layer is inserted between the two intermediate layers to form a composite, and the composite is inserted into the outer cover.
