What Makes It Mighty?
- soft organic cotton cover
- plastic and chlorine free
- suitable for sensitive skin or those with allergies
Natracare Ultra Pads are biodegradable menstrual pads made from plant-based, breathable materials, designed to be super soft next to the skin. Effectively absorbent for every flow, with and without wings. Natracare Ultra Pads are made from certified organic cotton and renewable/sustainable plant cellulose. The pad’s absorbent core (made from Forest Stewardship Council certified pulp) absorbs menstrual fluid and locks it away while the soft organic cotton cover keeps you dry and allows your skin to breathe. Natracare pads do not contain any polyethylene, polypropylene or polyacrylate super absorbents, all of which can irritate the skin.
- Totally plastic- and chlorine-free
- No synthetic materials
- No chemical additives such as binders or surfactants
- No fragrances or dyes
- Over 95% biodegradable and compostable
The slim style of the Ultra Pad is discreet. All pads are individually wrapped in biodegradable purse packs.
Choose your size:
Regular — 14 slimline pads with wings for light flow days or at the end of a period
Super — 12 slimline pads with wings for medium or heavier menstrual flows
Super Plus — 12 slimline pads without wings for heavy menstrual flow
Long — 10 slimline pads with wings for heavy menstrual flow or overnight
Package free; primarily compostable except very minor components (e.g. plastic toggles or small stickers)
I really couldn't be happier with these. The adhesive is the best I've found, especially among the organic/ natural care brands. The pads hold up well, without the cover shredding. Overall, probably the best pads I've used.
I got the long. I appreciate that they hold the wetness away from my body. I forgot one month to add these to my auto ship and I had to get some from the drugstore. I got a kotex brand something, using them was awful, I felt wet all of the time. So I am adding these to my cart to make sure that I have them next month. The sticky back could be better. They are perfect for medium flow. I can't handle another month with my skin being irritated so I will be relieved when this new box gets here.
After my period, my skin is usually irritated for days after due to the friction of the pad on my skin. I've used these for a few months now and have had minimal to no irritation. It's such a relief.
If you use fabric softener on your underwear, the pads don't stick. Absorbent is pretty good but I have had to move up to the long pads for leak percentage. Not so good for deluge flow day (have to change every few hours but super heavy flows defy life.
I ordered these because I do want to be better about buying natural products (obviously) and hoped these might also be better for my comfort. Overall, these pads work only OK. They don't stick very well, so there is some slipping that makes things messy. And the absorption isn't the best for heavy flow days. Medium flow is fine though. I'll still be investigating other options.
