They are meant for light flow, and washing + drying in the sun is what keeps them safe and sterile for repeated use.
Not a complete replacement, it's meant to reduce waste.
I don't have parts that make pads or cups necessary, but is this something that would pair well with a menstrual cup? Or is any kind of pad generally not needed with a cup?
Yes!! It is recommended that you wash them in hot water to sanitize them. And of course we love line-drying to save on energy costs. You can adjust the absorbency for heavier flows as well, though the guide I link doesn't explain how to do that.
