Frequently Asked Questions
What toxic chemicals are typically found in conventional period pads?
Studies have identified PFAS, dioxins (from chlorine bleaching), synthetic fragrance compounds, and plastic residues (from polyethylene topsheets) in conventional period products. US law doesn't require brands to disclose these materials, and no mandatory testing exists for finished products.
Does OCBON use chlorine to bleach its pads?
No. OCBON uses hydrogen peroxide bleaching only. Chlorine bleaching can produce dioxin residue in the absorbent cotton core. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen — no harmful residue remains on the pad.
Are OCBON pads PFAS-free?
Yes. OCBON pads contain no PFAS. The materials are OCS-certified organic Texas cotton, a hydrogen-peroxide-bleached absorbent core, and a PFAS-free leak barrier. No fluorinated coatings are used anywhere in the construction.
How do I know OCBON's organic cotton claim is real?
OCS (Organic Content Standard) certification from Textile Exchange. This is an independent third-party audit of the entire supply chain — from OCBON's Texas cotton farms through every manufacturing step to the finished pad. Without OCS, any brand can print organic cotton with no verification.
