Did you know that pad packaging is not required to list ingredients? It can be hard to know what's in your pad. Many brands contain plastic coversheets, super-absorbent polymers or wood pulp fillers--not breathable cotton. The core and coversheets of Emerita Pads are 100% cotton. 

You wouldn't wear plastic underwear. So why choose a pad that's not 100% natural, breathable cotton?

We designed Emerita Ultra Thin Daytime Pads from a women’s health perspective, so they feature 100% natural cotton coversheet and core—no superabsorbent polymers, no cellulose wood-pulp fibers, chemical fragrances or any other additives.  The cotton we use is cleansed with a mild hydrogen peroxide solution, so they’re chlorine-free.   Our Ultra-Thin Daytime Pads are winged for extra protection, and they’re individually-wrapped—perfect for carrying with you on-the-go.  The Daytime Pad is generously-sized, perfect for moderate flow days, (and a little shorter and narrower than our Overnight Pad).

Cotton is a great, natural fiber. It’s inherently fluffy and absorbent and requires minimal chemical processing. Because cotton is naturally white, it does not require chemical bleaching for whitening. It doesn’t require chemical processing to remake it into some other kind of fiber. Cotton is simply cotton.

We offer a range of pad and pantyliner products—for light, moderate and heavy flow—all featuring 100% natural cotton coversheets and core.
