Bamboo Period Pads x 200 Bulk Box

Yes, our pads are a much more sustainable alternative to most period products on the market.

Our bamboo pads are made with Oeko-Tex certified organic bamboo, a self-generating plant that requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilisers and requires much less water to grow than conventional cotton. 

Unlike conventional products, which are made of up to 90% plastic and live on our planet for 800 years, we use plant-based and biodegradable materials wherever possible. Since a waterproof back sheet is essential for keeping you dry and leak-free, all pads and liners include one. We use a sustainable plant-based bioplastic called PLA, derived from sugar and cornstarch. 

Unlike conventional products, which are made of up to 90% plastic and live on our planet for 800 years, we use plant-based and biodegradable materials wherever possible.

• Our topsheet is made entirely from organic bamboo and cornstarch 
• Our backsheet needs to be waterproof, to prevent leaks, so we use a sustainable plant-based bioplastic called PLA, derived from sugar and cornstarch. This is TUV-Austria certified home compostable. We also use this for the wrapper, so this will break down without a trace. 
• There is a small percentage of our moderate and heavy pads which, although not biodegradable, will break down naturally. This includes our non-toxic, plastic-free SAP core, which improves the absorbency of our pads, which is essential to support those with heavy menstrual flows. 

Under ideal conditions, our pads degrade within 12 months, compared to the decades or even centuries it takes for petroleum plastic-based products to break down, and ours won’t produce microplastics like conventional products either. 

We are actively working towards making period products entirely biodegradable as part of our investment in innovation and R&D investment commitment.

Both of our period pads, for moderate and heavy flow, have wings. This means your pad stays in place, helping you feel secure.

We have two absorbencies to suit every body. Our Day pads are great for a medium flow, whilst our Night pads are great for a heavy flow, designed for round-the-clock leak protection.

Wash your hands before you begin and unwrap the pad from its individual packaging. Peel off the backing paper to reveal the adhesive, place the sticky side of the pad down onto your underwear, then fold the wings over the sides of your underwear to ensure a secure fit.

After use, remove the liner, pads and wrap it in the packaging or tissue paper before disposing of it in a general or “sanitary” waste bin. Never flush period products down the toilet.

While our pads are made from biodegradable materials, factors such as temperature and moisture can affect their breakdown process. For this reason, we recommend disposing of our pads and wrappers in the general waste bin. 

Under ideal conditions, our pads degrade within 12 months, compared to the decades or even centuries it takes for petroleum plastic-based products to break down, and ours won’t produce microplastics like conventional products either.
