Instead, we use fluffed wood pulp in the absorbent core of our pads. Our pulp is sustainably sourced from fast growing, Scandinavian pine trees – which is very absorbent! We mechanically process the wood to make it soft and fluffy – this fibre structure is more absorbent than using cotton alone. Cellulose pulp is natural and renewable, and a more sustainable alternative than superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) found in many conventional pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover is made from certified organic cotton, and this sits next to the skin, acting as a soft cover to wick away leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: “How do you use the wings on a pad?”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatracare ultra pads come with wings. When prepping the pad for use, remove the central paper strip and press the sticky side into your underwear.

You may prefer keeping a pad extra securely in place with wings.
