Always
Did you know that 50% of people with periods are wearing the wrong size pad? Don’t sacrifice your sleep during your period, instead, wear a larger size pad at night to catch your period flow when you are laying down. Always Ultra Thin pads have a 3x Protection System™ and come in a range of period pad sizes from 1 to 5 to fit your flow and size perfectly. If you have a light flow or need a teen-sized pad, then we would recommend using our Always Ultra Thin size 1 to 3. If you have a heavy flow or want overnight protection, then use our size 4 or 5 Ultra Thin Pad. Always Ultra Thin Extra Heavy Overnight Pads have 75% more back coverage than Always size 1 pad, so you’re protected no matter how you sleep.
Diva
The best things about the All-New Diva Disc are its shape, positioning, and capacity. The Diva Disc comes in a one-size-fits-most because the cervix, is a small opening, with more of a uniform shape. Thanks to the oval-shaped design, it doesn’t rotate when you try to remove it like other menstrual discs, Diva chose a sloped basin with a Leakproof Shield™ to prevent mid-wear leaks and spills during removal. You position a menstrual disc in the vaginal fornix. Push it back as far as it will comfortably go, so that it is around the entirety of the cervix. It is then tucked behind the pubic bone to be held in place. The Diva Disc can hold up to 36mL of fluid, (an average tampon absorbs close to 5mL), you get up to 12 hours of continuous protection and have more worry-free time to spend doing your favorite things.
Joni
It all started with one idea: how can we make innovative and sustainable menstrual products accessible to everyone who needs them? So, we made products that are good for bodies, the planet, and communities. Good for the planet: joni’s bamboo pads and cotton tampons are certified organic, biodegradable, compostable, and free from petroleum plastics. Good for bodies: There are no hidden extras in the ingredients because every pad and tampon are tested and certified free from harmful chemicals and fragrances. The result is soft, breathable, mega absorbent, non-irritating period care that works. Good for communities: When you support joni, you contribute to period equity in Canada through our 5% giveback. More than 110,000 pads and tampons have been donated to provide accessible and safe period care to people who need them. Join joni and ditch the chemicals and the stigma! That’s 21st-century period care.

Natracare
Susie Hewson developed Natracare as a personal campaign to shake up the period protection industry. 30 years later, Natracare continues to campaign, empower, and lead. She’s an eco-warrior, a pioneer, and developed the world’s first brand of organic & natural period products in 1989. “In the 1980s I learnt about the dangers of dioxin pollution and the damaging impact of plastics. I was appalled to find my period products contained all these ingredients, and no natural disposable option existed. My immediate response was to research and develop an alternative that actually respected our bodies and our planet.” Today the work doesn’t stop. We’re always improving the performance of the products and finding new sustainable innovations to look after our environment.”
