Periods are tough enough—your choice of pad shouldn’t make it worse. With so many options out there, it’s worth knowing what you’re putting against your skin every month. Let’s break down organic pads vs regular pads, and why comfort is non-negotiable.
What’s the Difference?
-
Regular Pads: Most conventional pads are made with synthetic materials, plastic backings, and sometimes even fragrances or chemical gels to lock in moisture. They’re widely available and usually cheaper.
-
Organic Pads: Made from natural materials like organic cotton, free from chlorine, perfumes, and synthetic dyes. They’re designed to be gentle on your skin and environmentally friendlier.
