Quick answer
Use a washing line clip to stack your reusable pads vertically, saving line space and keeping them from twisting. For larger pads, two clips hold them horizontal for even drying.
Why use a clip instead of just draping
Draping pads over a line can cause them to twist, fold, or take up too much space. A washing line clip lets you hang pads vertically, which uses less line length and keeps the pad flat for faster, more even drying.
When one clip isn't enough
Maxi and larger pads can twist or droop when clipped at just one point. Using two clips — one on each side — holds the pad horizontally, preventing it from bunching up and helping it dry without creases.
How to use a washing line clip for drying reusable pads
- 1. Shake out your pad: After washing, give the pad a good shake to remove excess water and unfold any edges. This prevents creases from setting in while drying. Skipping this step can lead to slower drying and stubborn fold lines.
- 2. Clip one corner to the line: Snap the washing line clip onto one corner of the pad and hang it vertically. This works well for pantyliners and small pads. If the pad twists, switch to two clips for better stability.
- 3. Use two clips for larger pads: For Maxi or overnight pads, attach one clip to each top corner. This holds the pad horizontal, preventing it from twisting or sagging. Check that both clips are secure — a loose clip can cause the pad to fall.
- 4. Space pads for airflow: Leave a small gap between each pad or stack to allow air to circulate. Overcrowding traps moisture and slows drying. Aim for at least an inch of space between pads on the line.
- 5. Rotate halfway if needed: If your pads are thick or the weather is humid, flip them over or rotate the stack after a few hours to ensure both sides dry evenly. Thick bamboo or hemp pads benefit most from this extra step.

Washing Line Clip: A simple snap-on clip that lets you stack pads vertically instead of using up line space for each pad. You can dry more pads on the same line, which is especially helpful if you wash a full cycle of cloth pads at once.
