When we say plastic-free, we mean free from petroleum-based plastics like PE or PP.

In our pads and liners we use a plant-based biopolymer made from cornstarch (PLA), which is compostable and biodegradable (certified to EN 13432 and ASTM standards), non-toxic in both production and end of life, and completely biobased.

While PLA is technically a polymer, it is not petroleum-derived and is accepted under leading ecological standards such as GOTS.

We clearly disclose its use and independently validate all our claims to ensure transparency and compliance with the most rigorous sustainability standards.

Nope! SAPs are oil-based plastics that absorb moisture but can leave your period pad feeling soggy - and they never biodegrade.

We use cellulose instead, for high absorbency without the petroleum plastic.

Our pads are made with a 100% organic cotton topsheet and an cellulose absorbent core. That means no fragrances, no dyes, no petroleum plastics - just what works.

Here’s what’s in our pads:

• Topsheet: 100% GOTS certified organic cotton
• Absorbent core: cellulose
• Leakproof back sheet: cornstarch
• Adhesive: non-toxic, latex free and rosin free
• Waxed release paper
• Tissue wrapper

Yes! Our pads are clinically proven to prevent irritation and made without the common irritants found in mainstream period products.

That means no fragrances, no dyes, no chlorine, and zero petroleum plastic - just breathable, irritation-free period care.

Yes! Mooncup Pads are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from animal-derived materials.

Just as absorbent as the leading brand - but without the petroleum plastics, SAPs, or hidden irritants. Our specially designed leakproof barriers lock in blood and prevent leaks around the edges, keeping you protected all day.

We independently measured Mooncup pads against the leading brand using Circana UK total market data from July 2021 and July 2024.

You can dispose of Mooncup Pads in your regular waste bin. Unlike mainstream pads, they won’t linger in landfill for centuries. Our pads break down within one year, even in landfill conditions. 

This has been verified through testing based on ASTM D5511. Biodegradation rates may vary depending on disposal location and environmental conditions.

Although this does depend on your flow (e.g. if you’re experiencing a particularly heavy day) a good rule of thumb is every 4-6 hours. 

No, pads aren’t ideal for swimming, as they will just absorb the water and then become ineffective at absorbing menstrual fluid. Stick to tampons or menstrual cups when it comes to hitting the beach.
