Introducing the 100% organic cotton pads with wings from Mooncup®. Designed for heavy absorbency, the absorbency of these pads is comparable to mainstream brands and are also perfect for night use, thanks to their extra-long length. They are completely free from plastic and irritants, featuring protective and flexible wings for a secure and leak-free fit. Not only are these pads hypoallergenic and breathable, but they have also been recommended by gynaecologists for their ability to help prevent thrush and bacterial vaginosis.
Made from organic cotton, these pads offer a natural, gentle, and hypoallergenic alternative. Organic cotton is renowned for its softness and moisture-wicking qualities, while also being breathable, thus not restricting airflow and causing discomfort. With a hypoallergenic top sheet and soft, breathable cotton core which is 50% more absorbent than other brands, they are dermatologically tested, unscented and ideal for sensitive skin.
In contrast, mainstream period care brands often bleach their pads using chemicals called dioxins to achieve their signature white colour. These chemicals have been found to be highly toxic, disrupt hormones, and even cause cancer. Additionally, these brands use a range of other harmful chemicals, including plastic, perfumes that disrupt pH balance, dyes, and superabsorbent polymers. This chemical cocktail can create an environment where bacteria thrives, potentially leading to infections like thrush, BV, or contact dermatitis. Furthermore, these chemicals can be particularly troublesome for individuals with dry skin, as they are known to cause irritation and worsen symptoms.
If you're seeking period care that is free from harmful chemicals, breathable, and unlikely to cause irritation, organic cotton pads are the perfect choice for you.

Only X items left in stock
The Mooncup menstrual cup was born out of a desire to drastically reduce the waste produced by throwaway sanitary products. Created in 2002, it became the world’s first medical-grade silicone menstrual cup: putting an end to the waste, expense, and discomfort of throwaway tampons and pads, and setting the standard for sustainable period care.
Fast-forward two decades of taboo busting, Mooncup joined forces with the UK’s largest collection of plastic-free and irritant-free compostable period care, &SISTERS.
Founded by a mum and daughter duo who were on their own mission to reinvent period care. They are committed to reducing their environmental impact and are also a certified B Corp, a member of 1% for the planet, and donate 10% of their profits to support women's health, education, and economic empowerment.
