Maxi pads designed to make you feel comfortably protected. Natracare traditional style maxi pads made from natural materials.

All Natracare pads are commercially compostable to EN 13432 and ASTM D6400. This means our pads break down into organic matter and return to soil when composted, so less waste to worry about. It's also possible to compost at home.

We're recommended by health professionals and are suitable for sensitive skin or those with allergies. Natracare helps reduce exposure to synthetic materials and ingredients, including plastic, perfume and dyes that're often found in conventional period products.

FAQs

Why use wood pulp inside of the pads?

We never use chemically processed pulp (such as rayon aka viscose) or synthetic materials in our pads. Instead, we use fluffed wood pulp in the absorbent core of our pads. Our pulp is sustainably sourced from fast growing, Scandinavian pine trees — which is very absorbent! We mechanically process the wood to make it soft and fluffy — this fibre structure is more absorbent than using cotton alone. Cellulose pulp is natural and renewable, and a more sustainable alternative than superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) found in many conventional pads.

The pad cover is made from certified organic cotton, which sits next to the skin, acting as a soft cover to wick away leaks.

How to dispose of Natracare pads?

Natracare pads are commercially compostable to EN 13432 where facilities exist. It's also possible to compost our pads at home. If you don’t have a compost bin, pads should be disposed of with your regular waste.
