Quick answer

Choose organic cotton pads for everyday comfort and sensitive skin, and herbal pads when you want a cooling sensation during heavy flow days.

Why the choice matters for sensitive skin

Both options use 100% organic cotton covers, so irritation from synthetic materials is not a concern. The key difference is the herbal infusion: cooling mint, aloe vera, and lavender versus a pure cotton cover with no added botanicals. If your skin reacts to essential oils or you prefer a neutral feel, non-herbal pads are the safer bet.

Heavy flow vs. everyday protection

Herbal pads are designed for hot and heavy days, offering that minty cooling effect to refresh you. Non-herbal pads rely on an ultra-absorbent pulp core for leak-proof protection without any sensation. For overnight or light days, the non-herbal option may feel more comfortable.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Cooling herbal pads: Deliver a minty, cooling sensation during heavy flow days. The herbal infusion can help you feel fresher, but the essential oils may cause irritation if you have very sensitive skin.
  • Non-herbal organic cotton pads: Offer pure organic cotton softness with no added botanicals. They are hypoallergenic and comfortable for everyday use, but lack the cooling effect that some people enjoy on heavy days.
  • Which to choose: If you want a refreshing sensation during your heavy days, go with cooling herbal pads. If you prioritize skin neutrality and all-day comfort, choose non-herbal organic cotton pads. Consider having both on hand for different days of your cycle.
