In a world where we are becoming increasingly aware of what we put into and onto our bodies it only makes sense that we ask the same of our menstrual hygiene products. Organic sanitary pads are made using natural biodegradable and skin friendly materials that are gentle not just on your skin but also on the planet.
Typically organic pads contain a top layer made of organic cotton which is free of pesticides and synthetic chemicals. The core often consists of SAP(Super Absorbent Polymers), but not in the case of Luna Pads where natural absorbents like bamboo pulp or hemp which are known for their high absorbency and antibacterial properties are used. The bottom layer is usually a biodegradable bioplastic made from corn or starch that prevents leakage without compromising eco sustainability.
By choosing organic sanitary pads you are avoiding harsh chemicals chlorine bleaches and artificial fragrances which are commonly found in conventional pads. It is a conscious choice towards safer periods and a safer planet.
