Sparkle Natural & Biodegradable Banana Fibre Sanitary Pads (All Overnight 320mm - 7 Pads) Sanitary Pad  (Pack of 7)

We have carefully chosen sustainable plant based ingredients that are gentle to your skin and kind to the planet. Say goodbye to plastics, perfumes and chlorines with all-natural Sparkle pads made from bamboo fibre and corn starch. Sparkle banana fibres pads are made with bamboo fibre (top sheet), banana fibre and other natural fibres (absorbent core), naturally absorbent bio-polymer (absorbent core), corn-starch (leak-proof back sheet, top sheet), non-toxic adhesive. Sparkle bamboo fibre sanitary pads do not contain plastics, polypropylene, polyethylene, sodium polyacrylate, synthetic fibres, artificial fragrance, deodorant, dyes, chlorine bleach, latex, parabens, formaldehyde, dioxins, chloroform, polyester, rayon. Conventional pads contain up to 90% plastic and remain unchanged in the landfill for around 600-800 years after disposal. All natural Sparkle pads can biodegrade in around 6 months after disposal. Banana fibre is naturally super absorbent and highly effective at locking away menstrual fluid. Banana farmers earn extra income each harvest by selling banana stems or fibres which were previously discarded as agro-waste. Bamboo fibre is an ideal choice for the top layer of a sanitary pad as it is naturally anti-bacterial, breathable, hypoallergenic, odor resistant and super soft. Conventional pads use perforated polypropylene plastic sheet as a fluid transfer top layer which is harmful to the environment. Besides being a self-replenishing resource, bamboo does not require toxic pesticides or fungicides for growth. Corn starch based bio-plastic serves as a leak-proof bottom layer that is a sustainable, biodegradable and compostable alternative to plastic. Conventional pads use polyethylene plastic back sheet as a barrier film which remains unchanged in the landfill for hundreds of years after disposal.
