Organic Cotton Period Pads

Most period pads are 90% plastic. The topsheet — the layer that sits against your skin for five days every month — is polyethylene film, the same material used in shopping bags.

It's occlusive, it traps heat and moisture, and it's often bleached with chlorine, a process that can leave dioxin residue on the surface that touches your body. OCBON replaces the plastic topsheet with 100% organic cotton grown on company-operated farms in Texas.

OCS (Organic Content Standard) certification from Textile Exchange means an independent auditor has traced every bale of cotton from those fields to the finished pad — you're not taking a label claim at face value. The bleaching is hydrogen peroxide only.

No dioxin risk. No chlorine residue.

The layers are bonded by water pressure rather than chemical adhesives, so there's nothing extra between you and the cotton. Dermatest Institute — Germany's leading independent clinical testing lab — awarded OCBON the Excellent rating after testing on human subjects showed zero detectable skin irritation.

Fewer than 1 in 5 products submitted achieve that rating. All three sizes share the same certified organic construction: Regular for everyday flow, Large for heavy days, Overnight for extended protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OCBON period pads made from?
OCBON pads are made from 100% OCS-certified organic cotton grown on company-operated farms in Texas. The topsheet, absorbent core, and construction use no plastic film, no chlorine bleach, no synthetic fragrance, no chemical adhesives, and no PFAS. Layers are bonded by water pressure (hydroentanglement), not glue.
Are OCBON pads FDA approved?
Yes. OCBON holds FDA Class II medical device approval — a formal safety review that most conventional pad brands do not undergo. Standard brands typically only complete basic registration. FDA Class II approval requires documented evidence of safety for the full product, not just the materials.
What does OCS certified mean on a period pad?
OCS (Organic Content Standard) from Textile Exchange is an independent audit of the entire supply chain — from the cotton farm through every manufacturing step to the finished pad. Without OCS, any brand can print 'organic cotton' on packaging with no verification. With OCS, every claim has a documented, third-party-verified paper trail. OCBON has held OCS certification since 2007.
Are OCBON pads good for sensitive skin?
Yes. OCBON earned Dermatest Excellent — the highest rating from Germany's Dermatest Institute — after clinical testing on human subjects showed zero detectable skin irritation. The four most common pad irritants are eliminated: plastic topsheet (replaced with organic cotton), synthetic fragrance (none), chemical adhesives (replaced with water-pressure bonding), and chlorine bleach residue (OCBON uses hydrogen peroxide only).
Which OCBON pad size should I use?
Regular pads cover light to normal flow for daytime use. Large pads provide extra absorbency and coverage for heavier flow days. Overnight pads are extended-length for 6–8 hours of sleep, with higher absorbency capacity. All three share the same organic cotton construction and certifications.
Do OCBON pads contain PFAS?
No. OCBON pads contain no PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). A 2023 study found PFAS in 48% of period products tested — including products marketed as organic. OCBON's construction uses no fluorinated coatings in any layer, verified through FDA Class II approval documentation.
