Details
A high-integrity menstrual pad engineered with 100% certified organic cotton in intimate contact, a clean hybrid absorbent core for certified 8-hour leakproof security, and individual paper wrappers with zero plastic waste.
- 100% Certified Organic Cotton Topsheet: Mass-market pads use perforated polyethylene plastic mesh (often marketed as dry-weave) that creates sweat, friction, and contact dermatitis. Our topsheet is 30 gsm 100% GOTS certified organic cotton non-woven: breathable, unbleached, and free from chlorine, synthetic fibres, or chemical finishes.
- Honest Acquisition & Distribution Layer (ADL): Pure cotton absorbs in a localized spot and pools. Directly beneath the cotton sits a 45 gsm polypropylene through-air bonded non-woven that distributes fluid longitudinally along the core. It sits safely beneath the cotton, never touches mucous membranes, and is declared openly rather than concealed.
- High-Performance Clean Hybrid Core: A pad made purely of cotton wet-collapses under body pressure and leaks. We pair Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) softwood fluff pulp with cross-linked Sodium Polyacrylate Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP). Fluid is wicked instantly and locked permanently into a viscoelastic hydrogel, guaranteeing >=55g to >=95g gravimetric absorbency surpassing IS 5405:2019 standards.
- Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) Pulp: Bleached exclusively with oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. Completely eliminates elemental chlorine and chlorine dioxide, guaranteeing zero polychlorinated dioxins or furans (<1 pg/g WHO-TEQ detection limit).
- Breathable Moisture Barrier: Backed by an 18 gsm micro-embossed polyethylene film with microscopic vapour-permeable pores (>2,500 g/m2/24h) that shield undergarments while allowing skin heat and moisture to escape.
- Individual Kraft Paper Disposal Wrapper: India discards over 12 billion pads annually, predominantly wrapped in non-recyclable plastic. Under Rule 17(3) of the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, manufacturers must provide a disposal wrapper. We wrap each pad in a 100% recyclable virgin kraft paper pouch (40 gsm) with an adhesive seal tab, eliminating single-use plastic wrappers entirely.
- Mandatory ISI Mark Certification: External pads are regulated under the Ministry of Textiles Medical Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2023 as mandatory BIS Scheme-I ISI Mark certified products (IS 5405:2019).
Product information
Materials & construction (layer by layer, in anatomical order, with percentages)
- Full composition (across sizes)
- Organic Cotton (9.5%–10.7%), Polypropylene Non-Woven (3.7%–3.9%), Softwood Fluff Pulp (47.2%–48.7%), Sodium Polyacrylate SAP (18.0%–19.6%), Tissue Paper (4.7%–5.1%), Polyethylene Film (6.8%–7.3%), Adhesives (7.1%–7.9%)
- Organic Cotton Topsheet (Intimate contact)
- 30 gsm 100% GOTS certified organic cotton spunlace non-woven (0.95g / 1.15g / 1.40g). Soft, hypoallergenic intimate surface; zero chlorine, dioxins, or synthetics.
- Polypropylene ADL (Acquisition & distribution layer)
- 45 gsm through-air bonded PP non-woven (0.35g / 0.45g / 0.55g). Sits below cotton; transfers fluid along core to prevent pooling. Honestly declared.
- Core Tissue Wrap (Upper and lower wrap)
- 18 gsm TCF hydrophilic tissue wrap (0.45g / 0.55g / 0.70g). Encloses absorbent core to prevent fiber and particle migration during movement.
- Softwood Fluff Pulp (Bulk absorbent matrix)
- Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) hydrogen-peroxide bleached softwood cellulose (4.20g / 5.60g / 7.20g). Rapid capillary wicking and bulk volume.
- Sodium Polyacrylate SAP (Hydrogel fluid lock)
- Cross-linked sodium polyacrylate superabsorbent granules (1.60g / 2.20g / 2.90g). Locks fluid into non-reversible hydrogel under body pressure.
- Breathable PE Backsheet (Moisture barrier)
- 18 gsm micro-embossed polyethylene film (0.65g / 0.80g / 1.00g). Liquid-impermeable barrier with micro-pores allowing water vapour to escape.
- Construction & Positioning Adhesives
- Medical-grade thermoplastic hot-melt adhesives (0.70g / 0.88g / 1.05g total). Low-VOC, phthalate-free, non-sensitizing garment grip.
What is left out, and what took its place
- Synthetic plastic topsheet (dry-weave mesh)
- Replaced entirely by 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. Mass brands use perforated PE plastic that creates sweat, friction, and intimate rash.
- Elemental chlorine and chlorine dioxide
- Replaced by 100% Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) oxygen/peroxide bleaching. Eliminates polychlorinated dioxins and furans (<1 pg/g WHO-TEQ).
- Undisclosed synthetic transfer layers
- Replaced by full disclosure. We print our 45 gsm PP distribution layer openly on the pack and storefront rather than hiding it.
- Fragrances, masking scents, and deodorants
- Zero added perfume, herbal scent, or odor-masking chemicals. Scent is 0.00% across all components to eliminate contact dermatitis.
- Phthalates and toxic hot-melts
- Replaced by medical-grade, hydrogenated hydrocarbon hot-melt adhesives, certified free of ortho-phthalates and volatile solvents.
- Single-use plastic wrapper
- Replaced by 100% recyclable virgin kraft paper wrappers (40 gsm) with individual paper seal tabs for clean disposal.
