Organic Cotton Pads
Our 100% organic cotton pads. Highly absorbent, lightweight and breathable with wings giving you around the clock protection from leaks.
Period pads are easier to use than tampons as they do not have to be inserted! They are also great for overnight use – you can typically sleep through the night without changing your pad, as you have a much lower chance of getting toxic shock syndrome compared to using a tampon.
However, if you want to go swimming during your period then a tampon or Grace & Green period cup may be a better option as your period pad will absorb the pool water and become heavy.
- Highly absorbent.
- Lightweight and breathable.
- Edge to edge natural adhesive to keep the pad in place.
- Developed with wings to provide extra security.
- Ultra-soft organic cotton topcoat and core.
- Available in two absorbencies.
- Wash your hands before you begin.
- Unwrap the period pad and peel off the back to reveal the adhesive.
- Place the sticky side of the pad down into the middle of your underwear.
- Depending on your style of underwear, either stick the period pads wings over or to the sides of your pants.
- Now wash your hands again and pop your wrapping in the recycling!
- Crafted with 100% organic cotton.
- Sustainably-sourced, natural, plant based materials, which are highly effective at locking away menstrual blood.
- Zero synthetic or unnecessary materials, ensuring your skin is able to breathe and stay dry.
- GOTS certified organic cotton topcoat and core which uses 71% less water, 62% less energy and produces 46% less CO2e than traditional cotton.
- Plant-based, plastic-free waterproof backing for leak protection.
- Individually wrapped in biodegradable purse packs.

I wish I’d made the swap sooner! The pads are comfortable and no different from other pads I’ve used but with the added benefit of being much more eco friendly. I also use the tampons which are great!
Chloe J. –
My daughter and I have been very pleased with the Grace and Green Sanitary products and they arrive every 3 months on subscription giving you peace of mind that you will never run out. I also have a clear conscience regarding the environmental impact.
Cathryn B. –
Have been using these products for a while. Love the fact they are environmentally friendly.
Sarah T. –
Love these, very comfortable, stay in place, healthy and recommend them.
Naomi H. –
I don’t like the thought of using a moon cup but these pads are a great compromise.
The packaging and pads are much more environmentally friendly and always come with a friendly hand written note with the delivery for a personal touch.
Fionnuala D. –
They’re everything I want in my period products- organic, comfortable, biodegradable and beautiful in my bathroom. Great if you use a cup by day and don’t like to sleep in it. The owners are lovely as well and always send a handwritten note with my order. Please buy things and tell all your friends so Grace & Green never go out of business! It’s one of those products I don’t buy from anyone else because G&G have perfected it.
Alice R. –
Products are super absorbant and fresh. Subscription takes hassle of remembering to buy pads away and the box always comes with this lovely hand written note – such a nice personal touch. And they're environmentally friendly! What's not to love?!
Louisa D. –
I have been using Grace & Green products for a couple of years now. The service is excellent, the products are good quality and you know that by buying them, you're choosing a more eco friendly option.
Hannah E. –
Always on time, beautiful presentation and fabulous product.
Amy W. –
Rapid delivery and beautiful packaging. My daughter is looking forward to setting up a regular subscription once she decides between the cotton and bamboo options.
Hannah P. –
I really feel a difference with my body between Grace & Greens products and the ones who buy from a super market
You can tell they’ve used high quality products in making them and really care about the environment
Joanne J. –
Perfect pads for my teenage daughter. It’s good to know there’s no bleach or other nasty stuff in these.
Sarah F. –
Nice to have a product beautifully packaged with less of the guilt
Philippa K. –
I'm subscribed to a monthly Grace & Green delivery. I have rather a heavy flow, and these pads have yet to leak. I also get a sweet handwritten message from one of the people working at GG with my order, which I always really appreciate.
Josephine M. –
This is my favourite pad (plus the day one). I’ve gone from trying lots of different brands, found them uncomfortable or smelling of perfumes, or unsustainable. Have also tried tampons and mooncups to no avail. Now totally dedicated to Grace and Green, they’re soft, non irritating and as sustainable as you can be with a non reusable pad.
Molly E. –
I have been getting a G&G subscription for probably a few years now and I love it. The amount of plastic in feminine products is ridiculous so to have an eco friendly option for someone who can’t use the cups is fantastic. Also the added bonus of a subscription arriving every month so no more realising you suddenly need to go to the shop! The little notes that come in the box too are a lovely touch that I always look forward to :orange_heart: love you G&G!!
Sarah P. –
Really impressed! So I needed to amend my order due to changing my mind last min to actually subscribe. Thinking I'd deleted the order but it just added it again. So double what I wanted. I was totally panicking.Emailed them straight away explain what happened Next morning emailed me and amended the order and refunded the extra. Really professional,helpful, quick and efficient. No drama. Definitely staying subscribed
Sarah F. –
I just love this company, the product is fab really good quality. But the little touches from the company the thank you notes etc. just think they do the things other companies have forgotten the little bits that make the customer so happy to come back.
Amy P. –
Such a lovely company. I have a subscription with them and I often get an extra little treat and always a hand written card in the box. It always cheers me up.
Em –
Great items love packaging but need more absorbency options please I suffer with endometriosis and adenomyosis and my flow can be very heavy. Please could you make a higher super pad for us, I have tried a few more eco ones they are all good but not thick enough. They feel lovely but I can’t wear them all the time as would have to change every 10mins. Also why do they all have to have wings I don’t mind a nighttime but could there be more options without wings please x
Amazon Customer –
These are vey comfortable.
Polina Y. –
Love my monthly subscription. Female essentials are great quality and help shopping through pandemic.

Frances M. –
Always really impressed with Grace and Green. The products are great and good value and they always make the effort to send a cute, handwritten postcard which I really like. Would definitely recommend and will keep using in future.

Great sanitary towels, they’re soft and comfortable. More environmentally friendly. Packaged well and always with a personal hand written note. I’ve been using Grace and Green for 2 years now. And I buy them for my daughters who love them too.
Charlotte L. –
Excellent product. So grateful that we have a subscription service with four woman in the house, it means we're never short on the essentials. I love the personal messages we receive with each delivery and feel great knowing that we’re using organic eco-friendly products.
Wendy G. –
Excellent service and products, will definitely be ordering again. Thank you!
Ruth T. –
The communication was excellent – the first time I ordered I accidentally did so twice and they were very quick to spot it! The products have been excellent in quality, although I have yet to start using the free gift (it was a very nice addition).
Dilys D. –
Very good service. Would buy again. Pleased with product. Have today ordered something different. Look forward to receiving it.

Charlotte M. –
Brilliant, personal service. Love the handwritten notes every month. Products are fab.
Polina Y. –
I love Grace and Green. Apart from great quality their deliveries literaly saved me during Covid as a source of essential female care. Thank you.
Enrica C. –
I’ve been a regular customer for a couple of years. I have two daughters to think of too and because we love the fact that the sanitary towels are plastic free, and are super soft, we decided to subscribe for day, night towels and liners.
WK –
Very comfortable sanitary towels. Wish they had longer version. But this still do really well.
L –
I get quite heavy flows at nighttime, and unfortunately the night pad was not absorbent enough to last me the whole night. These pads are more suitable for people with lighter flows.
Natalie D. –
A great product, which is good value and delivered efficiently every time. All communication with the company has also been very professional and friendly. I even got a small gift to say thank you for my annual subscription which was a delightful bar of soap.
MJ –
I like them- so natural. No unpleasant or plastick sensory experience. For the absorbence I would give 4.3 stars as it requires change more often than in those ‘awful plastic made’ pads. I describe this pads as light, cotton and close to nature breathable liners. Also I am happy with the packaging made of 100% of cardboard. I tried different companies, but this ones are the winners for me. I recommend.
Claire S. –
Excellent service always feels like a personal service with little notes left in the box. Product ways arrives at the right time. Product feels comfortable and is good for the environment.
Louise C. –
Amazing company , great products, highly recommend. Love the personal note x
Amy S. –
I bought 2 boxes each of both the day and night pads, both of which are very comfortable and protective. Additionally they’re just as easy to dispose of as regular plastic pads, but with less plastic waste.
Kim R. –
I always receive my purchase in lovely packaging with a personalised note. I find the products gentle on the skin and a perfect fit.
Katrina M. –
Fantastic service, love the product, pads feel more breathable and comfortable than supermarket products and it feels great to be helping the planet.
Claire S. –
Very efficient and friendly personal service. Great product
Alex G. –
Great product, efficient service, lovely handwritten thank you notes.

Hayley W. –
It’s great that I am never left short because of the subscription and I have peace of mind that the product is green and I am protected during my period!

Emma L. –
Love how this product arrived, for sanitary products it felt so luxe! The products seem great and it's good to know there's no plastic used in them. Glad I found this brand.
Sarah S. –
Grace and Green’s sanitary pads are great. I found it took a little while to get used to them compared to the popular brands of non-planet friendly pads, but after that I found they work well for me and it’s great to know that I am helping the planet.
Ciara C. –
Excellent service. My order comes every month on time with a handwritten note. Lovely personal touch. Thank you for the free soap this month. It’s so creamy and smells gorgeous. I will definitely buy more.
Paula H. –
Excellent service received goods very quickly
Edwina G. –
I really like these pads, I’ve been ordering them for about a year now. Slightly different with having no scent but I find them absorbent and comfortable. they cost more than their high street equivalent but personally I feel they are a reasonable eco swap.
Gabriella W. –
I’ve used the Grace and Green subscription service for a while now, meaning I get everything I need delivered straight to me. I can move deliveries up if I do run out, and customer service is always a delight (the handwritten thank yous are forever well received)
Claire S. –
Nice personalised service. Great product and a friend to the environment
Rossella F. –
I love the product and the branding a lot!
Simarpreet S. –
The packaging was excellent! And the cotton pads are really soft and comfortable to wear.
Heather H. –
Great products and environmentally friendly
Natalie –
Stick isn’t the best, but I’ve found these pads the softest and most comfortable. I’ve tried a variety and these don’t rub and what not
Hebe –
I consider myself an environmentally conscious person, so it made total sense to me when I saw an ad to switch to biodegradable period products. I also didn't want harmful plastic inside my body. Most of the other brands that I researched are not 100% eco
Thorwife –
Nice packaging and work ok but a little flimsy and also I found other brands I like better. Paying pretty much for packaging and branding.
Amazon Customer –
I found these comfortable and soft as some pads can cause irritation to me personally.
GosPP –
After using them for a few months I can say they are absolutely the product I wanted to switch to! I was tired from the high street plastic and the Grace & Green has it all: sustainable material, soft, durable and most of all excellent absorption! Arrive in lovely thoughtful box, like a gift. Highly recommended.
Li Za –
Finally a good product. A bit pricey but totally worth it. Nice to the skin, good absorbency very comfy
skye –
The box arrived less than two days after ordering, in easy recyclable cardboard box with a neat logo that looked more like a box for headphones than a box for sanitary towels! Very neat. The day pads are super comfortable and quick to put on (no difficult sticky nonsense). They feel extra soft & luxurious – no leaks ofc! This is my first order but I will definitely buy again :) Haven’t worn night ones yet so will do another review after.
conniey M. –
The pads are very comfortable. I bought this in March during lockdown and never got to use them up until this past week (June) and I love them. The packaging is beautiful and the litu handwritten notes that came with it made me smile too.I’mso happy to have found you guys because God knows women need an intimate product that is 1 kind to the environment, no burns or skin reactions when we put it in and 3 a product that’s soon good not too short or too long. No leaking or anything like that either 😍 . I shall definately buy again. Recommended to friends too.
Life With Donna B –
I have been been trying to use more organic products recently for my monthly friend and bought these day pads to give them a try. First impressions was very good. No plastic outer packaging. Nice recyclable box. In fact all materials used in these sanitary towels are either recyclable or biodegradable which is brilliant. The pad itself was strangely soft to me. Maybe because I was used to the other pads that are filled with plastic and non cotton materials. These however are really soft to the touch and are very comfortable to use. Could hardly feel it when in use. Absorbed very well and I felt very secure. I think I will have to try out the night pads now. I’m pleased with my purchase and recommend these pads for anyone wanting to try out a organic sanitary towel.
Alex R. –
A brilliant product! Comfortable, does the job well and you get a good amount in the box. It’s a relief to be able to use sustainable period products like these that break down without a trace, when other brands still use so much plastic that goes straight in the bin! Also it feels much better to be using organic cotton with no nasty chemicals going down there. They’re worth it for the price knowing that my purchase has helped aid period poverty charities – will be buying again!
Amazon Customer –
So great to find an ethical UK company providing 100% natural products for famine hygiene . Very comfortable, soft and gentle. I would and have recommended Grace & Green products to friends and family.
katie –
Very good product. I have tried many other brands and these are by far the best.
Andreea –
The sticky side could be better, cause it kinda moves if you exercise.
LV –
They felt super comfortable and secure with no sign of irritation and of course ethically sourced, what’s not to love. Definitely my new go-to pads!
Magda –
I ordered Grace’s & Green’s night pads. They arrived earlier than expected and the customer service was excellent throughout the whole process. I have sensitive skin and these pads do not cause any irritation and they allow my skin to breath because they have a 100% cotton top and they are free from chemicals. I use pads mainly as an extra support to my menstrual cup because I am still quite new at using it and I am never 100% sure whether it is placed correctly or not. I did, however, use them also without the cup in order to check their absorbency and they did not fail me even though I have quite a heavy flow. They are thin and relatively wide and long, probably the size most women feel comfortable with. Personally though, I do feel safer with slightly wider and longer alternatives because of my heavy flow. Other than that 10/10, I do recommend Grace & Green and their sanitary pads.
Charlotte Gambling –
Pleasantly surprised! Really comfortable. Only draw back is the night pads don’t stick very well.
Amazon Customer –
This is such a great product. I’m so happy I found it
OLD SALT –
I have had prostate cancer and post operation there is always a possible involuntary release of urine. This excellent product is ideal. Effective and discreet.
sparkle –
Initially I loved this product. Was very comfortable and seemed to be Absorbent enough. However when I got to my heavier days it didn’t seem to absorb much at all and the liquid sat on the surface of the pad making it really uncomfortable if I didn’t change every time I went to the loo. So while I do think it’s a great concept and is probably fantastic for those with a light/medium flow for anyone with heavy periods I wouldn’t recommend.
buddhafruit –
Would highly recommend. Recently switched to Grace & Green products and so glad i did. Less harm to the planet and super comfy. Love the packaging too :)
Ve i. –
Awesome! Only sanitary pads that my skin doesn’t react! I’ve tried a lot. But V expensive!
Kindle Customer –
The softest most luxurious pad I have ever tried
Amazon Customer –
Comfortable, great protection and helping the planet!!
Charlotte Redfern –
I felt they are good quality, comfortable and discreet when wearing and caused no irritation (which other brands had). I also bought the liners which also are good quality. Happy they are environmentally friendly which was why I decided to try them and will purchase again. The packaging is lovely, nicely coloured and discreet to of what they contain which I like and also recyclable! Overall a great product.
giki –
I have finally found a less environmentally damaging way of dealing with periods that I am comfortable with. These look and feel like a normal sanitary towel – they are slim and comfortable to wear with no clumping or chaffing. They stay put I I had no problems with leaks – even at night time. They are well packaged – despite being plastic free. I will be using these again. The cost is a little higher than normal pads but that is par for the course for organic/plastic free products – and it is not so much that it would put me off buying them.
Lottie –
I’ve been a staunch, won’t use anything else ‘Always’ girl for most of my adult life and while I still think this brand pretty much superior to anything else out there, I’ve been trying to be more environmental these days. Having already switched to washable panty liners, I recently started looking into green alternatives for this too (well, one I could live with). So… Packaging is gorgeous, simple, straightforward coloured cardboard boxes that don’t shout what they are. Having tried a tested, I now have total confidence they’ll do the job (particularly impressed with the night ones). They’re as thin and comfortable (sorry but I’m NOT going back to thick and bulky for anything!) On the other hand, not exactly cheap and just in my experience, perhaps go through more of these than before.
