FAQ Organic cotton winged sanitary napkins

Why choose Femi.Eko® pads made of organic cotton over conventional ones?

Femi.Eko® stands for natural and healthy protection without compromise. All our products are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and natural fibers – without plastic, perfume or harmful chemicals. Conventional products can contain up to 90% plastic, synthetic gels, BPA and dioxin – substances with harmful effects on intimate health and the environment. When you choose Femi.Eko®, you choose to care for your body and the planet and help reduce pollution from classic feminine hygiene products.

What are Femi.Eko® pads made of?

The pads are made of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, both in the outer and inner layers. They do not contain dioxin, heavy metals, chlorine, perfume, synthetic absorbent gel or artificial fibers. Instead of plastic, vegetable biopolymers are used as a waterproof layer. The packaging is 100% cardboard – without plastic inserts – biodegradable and compostable.

Are Femi.Eko® organic pads dermatologically and gynecologically tested?

Absolutely! All Femi.Eko® disposable products are dermatologically and gynecologically tested – also microbiologically against E. coli, staphylococci, Candida and other important pathogens. They are pH-neutral and suitable for sensitive skin. Always follow the instructions for use for best results.

What certifications do Femi.Eko® products have?

All Femi.Eko® menstrual products are GOTS certified and sustainably produced in Europe in medically approved facilities (ISO 13485:2016). The plant-based material that gives the pads and panty liners their waterproofness is TUV certified for safety and quality. You get advanced protection – both medically and environmentally.

What makes Femi.Eko® pads special?

Femi.Eko® pads offer more than basic protection, including:

  • 100% GOTS certified organic cotton – inside and out

What is DryWings™ technology in Femi.Eko® pads?

DryWings™ is an innovative system integrated into the pads that prevents leakage at the sides via a special layer of organic cotton. It directs the liquid towards the center and keeps the edges dry – providing maximum protection, comfort and security – even on days with heavy flow.

What are vegetable biopolymers?

Biopolymers are materials derived from natural sources such as cornstarch, sugarcane or other plants, which are used instead of conventional plastics to make Femi.Eko® products waterproof. They are biodegradable and compostable – and do not pollute the environment.

Is there plastic in contact with the skin in Femi.Eko® products?

No, no part of Femi.Eko® products contains plastic in contact with the skin. Only GOTS certified cotton and natural materials are used. Waterproofing is achieved exclusively via vegetable biopolymers that are safe and skin-friendly.

How often should a Femi.Eko® pad be changed?

We recommend changing pads every 4–6 hours or as needed for maximum hygiene and freshness.

Are Femi.Eko® pads hypoallergenic?

Yes! All pads are microbiologically, gynecologically and dermatologically tested and are pH neutral. They are gentle on the skin and suitable for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.

Are Femi.Eko® pads biodegradable?

Yes! Both the product and packaging are biodegradable and compostable – they completely decompose in 12–24 months without microplastic residues.
