This Local Brand Offers Eco-Friendly Pads & Liners for Filipinas

Ladies, did you know that it takes 500 to 800 years for a traditional sanitary pad to biodegrade? (Don’t worry, I was yesterday years old when I learned this.) Just think about how many pads one woman has to use in a lifetime — it’s a little overwhelming, to be honest.

Knowing this, many women have actively switched to more eco-friendly options like menstrual cups and reusable pads. But for those of us who aren’t quite ready or comfortable yet, there’s still hope. If you can relate, you’ll be excited to learn that environment-friendly pads and pantyliners exist! Nala, a proudly homegrown brand, has made it easier for Filipinas to make the switch.

Nala offers the comfy, eco-friendly pads & liners we all deserve

In the Philippines, choosing sustainable is rarely cheap — which makes it hard for the average Pinay to embrace a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Thankfully, Nala’s pads and liners are priced fairly, making the eco-friendly alternative more attractive and attainable.

What exactly makes them so special?

Wallet-friendly prices aside, Nala’s pads and liners are made with natural, hypoallergenic ingredients. The top sheets are 100% organic cotton, while the raw material for the bottom sheets and wrappers are made out of polylactic acid (the sugars found in cornstarch).

They’re safe for sensitive skin, as they’re made without fragrances, harmful chemicals, synthetic fibres, or added plastics. (Yay for no rashes during that time of the month!) Because of this, Nala’s pads will biodegrade in just three to five years — compared to a traditional pad’s 500 to 800 years. How impressive is that?

The brand itself is something special, too. On Nala’s official Instagram page, you’ll see that they not only focus on eco-friendliness but also on women empowerment and spreading knowledge on menstrual health. They get bonus points for speaking out on topics that are often considered taboo or that women feel shy to discuss.

But wait — how do they compare to natural pads?

It might surprise you, but Nala’s pads may even be comfier than commercial pads. According to reviews, Nala’s pads are light, soft, and breathable. Many users report they are absorbent and comfortable for all-day and overnight wear — no need to worry about leaks even on heavier days

Proving that they’re true to their mission to make the eco switch accessible, Nala delivers their pads and liners nationwide. They even offer a subscription service for those who want regular deliveries. Choosing sustainability has never looked so good!
