Natural Pads

Super-soft and breathable comfort ☁️

Our natural pads are made with 100% organic cotton and sustainably-sourced woodpulp, offering breathable comfort and softness at a budget-friendly price.

Ethically designed with you & the planet in mind.

Here’s why you’ll love our natural pads:

Keeping it organic & natural ☁️

Combining the plant-power of certified organic cotton and sustainably-sourced, renewable woodpulp, our natural pads are soft to the touch and offer breathable comfort.

Caring for your period – naturally 💚

Inspired by your period, we keep it natural with our period care – no fragrances, dyes, chlorine bleach or artificial absorbents (SAP) are used in our pads. Not only does this help to prevent discomfort and irritation, it also makes our pads ideal for sensitive skin.

Reduce plastic waste every cycle🌍

We use organic and natural materials in our pads. They also feature a biodegradable backsheet and each wrapper is certified compostable.

Kelly Mulhall – Nutritional Therapist & Founder of The Natural Balance

“I always recommend that my clients with hormonal imbalance, painful periods or anyone trying for a baby, use organic and unscented period care to minimise any of the extra toxic load. Switching to TOTM organic period care is a great start!”

Cheyenne Morgan – Registered Nurse and @Letstalksgynae educator

“My personal experience with TOTM products has been amazing. I believe this helped to minimise my skin irritation and lower my risk of infections. I definitely would recommend TOTM products, as they are made with 100% organic cotton. I have received only great feedback from friends, family, and patients I have recommended them too.”

Kathie Bishop – Medical Herbalist & Vaginal Health Specialist

“As a medical herbalist specialising in helping women who are struggling with chronic vaginal issues like BV or Thrush, I discuss period products a lot. Personally, TOTM’s Super pads are the only ones for me – they are incredibly soft (no chaffing!) and stay firmly in place. I love recommending TOTM to my clients!”

Katherine Irene Glyde – Menstrual Wellbeing Coach & Founder

“I have been a TOTM customer since 2019, I had recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and I wanted to make sure I was making the best choices for myself and my body. As a Menstrual Wellbeing Coach it is incredibly important to me to only share and recommend brands and products that I have used and trust – TOTM really does tick every box.”

Dr Nuthana Bhayankaram – Doctor & The Medical Women Podcast Host

“As a doctor interested in tackling climate change, I am always on the lookout for more sustainable products. I also like to support small businesses with B corp certification. I was delighted to come across TOTM – firstly, I love that the brand is called Time of the month and they make menstrual products. TOTM products are made using organic cotton and wood pulp and are incredibly soft and comfortable. It’s great that even the wrappers are biodegradable! I also like that TOTM consider the whole supply chain of their products.”

Independent reviews from trusted experts

What makes these pads different?

We’re a purpose-led period care brand committed to providing comfortable and eco-friendly menstrual products. We know that everyone has different needs and budgets, so we offer a wide range of ethical products to choose from. Our organic pads are a fan favorite, so we developed natural pads as an alternative option to expand our range.

Some cheaper eco-friendly pads use superabsorbent polymers (SAP) made from petroleum, which can take up to 500 years to degrade. To tackle this problem, we created our natural pads that use organic cotton and renewable woodpulp instead of SAP to offer effective leak protection. They’ll still absorb your flow naturally, but without harming the environment.💚

IT’S TIME TO

Change your period care for good.

Every product in our range comes with the promise of quality, comfort & sustainability. Plus, we proudly donate 1% of all online sales to Endometriosis UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these pads organic?

Our natural pads feature a 100% organic cotton topsheet (the bit that comes into contact with your body). The absorbent core is made with sustainably-sourced, renewable wood pulp fluff which is totally-chlorine free (TCF).

By using organic and biodegradable materials, all of our pads help to reduce plastic waste. If you’re looking for pads that are made with organic cotton from cover to core, you can shop our core pad range here.

Is wood pulp the same as rayon?

No, wood pulp (if sustainably and responsibly sourced) in it’s raw form is renewable, however many period care products chemically process this to create rayon or viscose – a process that is not environmentally-friendly. Furthermore, the rayon is often bleached which can also produce dioxins.

Our new pads do not contain rayon or viscose and we use woodpulp fluff that is sustainably-sourced, renewable, and totally chlorine free (TCF).

Do these pads contain artificial absorbents?

Absolutely not! We created these pads as an ethical alternative to pads which contain SAPs or superabsorbent polymers. SAPs offer a cheap and effective way to enhance absorbency, however they are mostly produced from petrochemicals and can take up to 500 years to degrade. We use organic and renewable materials in our pads to absorb your flow naturally. Our goal is to continually develop our pad range so we can cater for all different flows without the use of conventional SAP. If you’re curious if the pads you use contain SAP, you can test it out by pouring water on top of the pad. If you see a mound form or slush appear beneath the top layer, then it probably contains SAP.

Where are your products made?

All TOTM period care products are ethically-manufactured in Europe.

Are these pads carbon neutral?

Yes, all TOTM tampons, pads and liners are carbon neutral, as well as our business. We work closely with our partners at ClimatePartner to ensure that we calculate, reduce, and offset our carbon emissions.

What is your packaging made from?

We’re proud to use plastic-free packaging across the range. Our products are packed in recycled cardboard boxes which are fully recyclable.

Are your pads suitable for sensitive skin?

Our pads are hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin. They are designed to prevent irritation such as itching, rashing and general discomfort.

Are your products cruelty free and vegan?

All TOTM period care products are registered with The Vegan Society and carry the Vegan Trademark. The Vegan Society’s standards for the Vegan Trademark includes both no animal ingredients, and no animal testing (at the initiative of the company or on its behalf, or by parties over whom the company has effective control).
