The plastic content and chemicals in conventional sanitary pads shouldn’t come as a surprise as the surface is visibly perforated and the packaging often mentions a cottony feel (and not cotton).

Regular pads contain a superabsorbent core of Sodium Polyacrylate which can absorb 100 times of its weight! The downside is that this chemical is highly toxic not just when inhaled or ingested, but upon touching too.

Most conventional sanitary pads have added fragrance to mask the foul odour of the menstrual blood and give a feeling of freshness. However, that is another set of artificial chemicals which often is a cause of UTI and bacterial infections.

Produced on a mass level with cheap material, synthetic pads are of course more pocket-friendly than organic cotton pads, materials of which are sourced with great care and difficulty. So, if you’re on a saving spree, then we suggest you opt for regular pads. However, if you feel that saving shouldn’t come at the cost of discomfort and skin irritation, then our organic sanitary pads are what you should go for.
