Certified plant-based products.

Our pads are built different.
And that makes the difference.

Better for your body.

At Sparkle, what touches your skin matters to us. That’s why our pads are made without hidden plastics, harsh chemicals/fragrances, chlorine bleach, or synthetic gels. We believe you deserve the best care, so we use plant-based, skin-safe materials that deliver gentle yet powerful protection.

Backed by dermatologists, trusted by menstruators across the world.

Sparkle plant-based pads are soft, safe, skin-friendly, and have earned the 5-star seal from Dermatest®, which means that no relevant skin reactions (i.e., potential for skin irritations) were detected from a clinical-dermatological study.

No synthetic gels. No secrets.

Conventional pads:
Conventional pads (and many organic pads) contain hidden synthetic gels or hidden synthetic superabsorbents (SAPs), which are made from petrochemicals; they are non-biodegradable, may wick moisture away, and irritate your sensitive skin.

Sparkle pads:
Sparkle pads use sustainable plant cellulose in the absorbent core - our pads don’t contain any synthetic gels.

Because your body deserves to breathe.

Even down there.

Conventional pads:
Conventional sanitary pads contain plastic and petrochemical byproducts throughout every layer - this makes the pad not a breathable product, and also one that can create a sweaty and humid environment near your intimate areas.

Sparkle pads:
Sparkle pads contain plant-based materials in every layer, so that your pads do not cause you discomfort down there. But more importantly, your skin can breathe!

Better for the planet.

We have designed the Sparkle pad in such a way that whether it ends up in an industrial composting facility or even in a landfill, it offers a more sustainable alternative when compared to its conventional counterpart.

USDA Certified Biobased pads for every phase of your period.

We use ingredients that come from renewable sources such as plants, forestry feedstocks, etc (which reduces our dependence on fossil-based resources) - because your body and the planet deserve certified, clean care.

The % of Biobased Carbon Content is measured using ASTM D6866-22 Method B (AMS) TOC

Designed to go back to the Earth.

Sparkle pads reached a disintegration percentage of 100% in less than 8 weeks, when tested according to ISO 16929 (Standard Test Method for Determination of the Degree of Disintegration of Plastic Material under Defined Composting Conditions in a Pilot-scale Test).

Conventional pads that contain large amounts of plastic pollute the planet for around 500 years.

Note: Biodegradation and disintegration of any product depends on a number of factors such as the disposal location and other specific conditions.

Comes from responsibly-harvested forests.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifies that raw materials come from responsibly managed forests that protect biodiversity, communities, and the environment. By choosing FSC-certified materials, Sparkle ensures that your pads are gentle on you and sourced with respect for the planet’s forests.

Finally, a sustainable pad that also performs.

With our rapid fluid distribution channels and leakproof side barriers, Sparkle pads are not just sustainable but are also high-performing products. Don’t take our word for it - over 100,000 menstruators have used and LOVED our pads!

Make transparency your type.

At Sparkle, we believe you deserve the full picture - no greenwashing, no vague claims. We show you exactly what’s in our products, layer by layer, so you can make choices you trust.

Kind to your body. Kinder to animals.

At Sparkle, our period care is fully vegan and cruelty-free, meaning no animal-derived ingredients and zero animal testing ever. Certified by The Vegan Society and The Vegetarian Society, we meet the highest global standards for vegan product care - because compassion is part of every cycle.

Trusted by over 100,000 people!

More about plant-based maxi pads:

How are Sparkle pads different from conventional pads?

Most conventional pads can contain up to 90% petrochemical-based plastic and synthetic super absorbent polymers that are derived from crude oil. They also typically contain artificial fragrances and dyes that may cause rashes or irritations.

Sparkle pads are USDA Certified Biobased Products crafted with plant-based ingredients that are gentle to your skin and kind to the planet. They do not contain chlorine bleach, dyes or fragrances.

How are Sparkle pads different from other “green” pads?

Many “green” pads use cellulose based fibers such as cotton or viscose only in the top layer. They continue to use conventional petrochemical-based plastics (such as polypropylene, polyethylene) as well as synthetic superabsorbents (such as sodium polyacrylate, which is a crude oil derivative) throughout all the other layers.

We have replaced conventional plastics from the top sheet, absorbent core, back film, wrapper and packaging with sustainable ingredients such as cellulose fibers as well as plant-based bioplastic. Sparkle pads do not use any synthetic super absorbent polymers. The absorbent core of our pad is made using a porous fiber network of natural and renewable cellulose fibers which lock away the menstrual fluid effectively.

Why choose pads made with plant-based ingredients?

Using renewable, plant-based pads can help us reduce non-renewable, fossil-fuel use. Compared to conventional pads that can contain up to 90% petrochemical-based plastics, Sparkle pads and packaging combined contain over 90% biobased materials.

By replacing conventional plastics from the top sheet, absorbent core, back film, wrapper and packaging with sustainable ingredients such as cellulose fibers and plant-based bioplastic, we can say goodbye to plastics that could pollute our planet for 500-600 years after disposal.

What is the difference between Maxi pads and Ultra pads?

Maxi pads are gently cushioned and slightly thicker. Ultra pads are thinner compared to the Maxi pads. Choosing whether to use Maxi pads or Ultra pads comes down to your personal preference.
