Organic pads made without harsh chemicals can be gentler on sensitive skin than traditional period products. “With vulvar hygiene products, be it a wash, a cream, a pad, anything that’s going to be in the vulvar area, my mantra is less is more,” Dr. Buckheit says. “So if a pad has a larger ingredient list, I would avoid that pad.” The 100% organic-cotton top sheets on Cora’s pads are made without chlorine, fragrances, dyes, or GMO ingredients to be extra kind to your most delicate body parts. What’s more, the soft organic cotton is known for being exceptionally breathable so things don’t start feeling swampy.
“I love Cora pads because they’re fragrance-free, and they have a super-soft cover but are not flimsy or rubbery. They conform to my vulva area really well, especially the regular absorbency pads,” says Glamour reviewer Chloé-Ana B. “I really love how thin they are because they’re comfy to wear when traveling but still keep me protected. I have a lighter flow, and they provide just the perfect amount of coverage for me,” she says.
- Pros: Simple ingredients; comfortable; breathable
- Cons: Expensive
