Ingredients

Our pads are made with a 100% organic cotton topsheet and a 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
How to use it
  1. Unwrap and stick – Peel off the backing and press the pad into your underwear, sticky side down.
  2. Wrap the wings – Fold the wings around the sides of your underwear to keep it snug and secure.
  3. Change every 4–6 hours – Or sooner if it feels full.
  4. Bin it, don’t flush it – Wrap used pads and pop them in the bin. Pads can’t be flushed.

We know ingredients (and vaginas).

After 20 years of research, we’re clear on this: materials matter. Especially here.

No petroleum plastics. No fragrance. No unnecessary irritants. Just science-backed ingredients chosen for performance and comfort.

Fully transparent. Fully explained.

Because “trust us” isn’t good enough.

100% LEAKPROOF WINGS

A pad that keeps its promises.

100% leakproof wings.

Most leaks happen at the edges. So we sealed them.

A fast-absorbing core locks blood in at the centre, while our leakproof wings wrap securely around your underwear to block side leaks and stop shifting.

No bunching. No gaps. No “how did that happen?” moments. Just proper protection.

Zero petroleum plastic.

Why we don’t use SAPs.

Super Absorbent Polymers are petroleum-based plastics designed to swell with fluid. They’re in most mainstream pads, and many brands calling themselves “eco.”

They don’t biodegrade. They rely on fossil fuels. And they’re completely unnecessary.

So we left them out.

Organic cotton topsheet. Cellulose core.

Absorbent. Breathable. Petroleum plastic-free.

Because “eco-ish” isn’t good enough.

Frequently asked questions.

Ingredients

What do you mean by 'plastic-free'?

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.

Do Mooncup pads contain Super Absorbent Polymers?

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.

What are Mooncup pads made from?

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

Are Mooncup pads suitable for sensitive skin?

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.

Are Mooncup pads vegan and cruelty free?

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

How absorbent are Mooncup pads?

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.

How to use

How do I dispose of my pads?

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.

How often should I change my pads?

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. 

Can I swim wearing my Mooncup pads?

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.

Do you charge tax?

Period care is free from VAT in the UK.

Deliveries outside of the UK and EU are subject to import duties and taxes which are levied once the package reaches the destination country.

Customers must cover any additional duties, taxes or charges for customs clearance; unfortunately we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

Do you ship to Europe and internationally?

Yes! We ship across Europe and to many countries worldwide.

EU delivery

  • Standard delivery: €6.00
  • Free delivery on orders over €50.00
  • Orders are shipped from our warehouse in the Netherlands, so deliveries within the EU are sent as intra-EU shipments, meaning no customs duties or import taxes.

International delivery (outside the EU)

  • Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location.
  • Please note that orders shipped outside the UK and EU may be subject to import duties, taxes or customs fees. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the customer. Unfortunately, we're unable to predict or cover these costs.

Do I need to pay for customs duties and taxes for orders outside of the UK?

Yes, deliveries outside of the UK and EU are subject to import duties and taxes which are levied once the package reaches the destination country. Customers must cover any additional duties, taxes or charges for customs clearance; unfortunately we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

Please note, if the duties are not paid and the parcel is returned to us, additional fees may apply and we will be unable to offer a refund as this would be utilised to cover the cost of return shipping fees.
