You deserve period care that feels good—and does good. This Plastic Free July, we’re making it easy to make the switch. All orders this month come with a free joni mini pack so you can share the plastic-free joy.
Try joni organic cotton tampons
“Plastic-Free” Isn’t Just a Trend. It’s a Wake-Up Call.
You shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to trust what you’re putting in your body. But many mainstream pads and tampons are made with petroleum-based plastics, irritants and undisclosed ingredients.
joni is different. Not just because our pads and tampons are better for the planet, but because they're better for you.
What’s Really in Conventional Pads and Tampons?
Most conventional pads and tampons on store shelves don’t list ingredients on the box.
Why? In many countries, including Canada, brands aren’t legally required to disclose everything they use in menstrual care products.
But independent studies have shown that these products can contain:
- Petroleum-based plastics (in backings, wrappers, and leak barriers)
- Fragrances, dyes and synthetic fibres, which can cause irritation or disrupt pH balance
That doesn’t mean using conventional products are dangerous, but it does mean we deserve to know what we’re putting in or next to our bodies, especially for those who have sensitivities and in sensitive areas. Transparency matters.
What Makes a Pad or Tampon Truly Plastic-Free?
Let’s clear something up: joni does use “biofilm plastic” in our pads and wrappers—but it’s not plastic in the way most people think.
This film is made from renewable plant starches, certified compostable, and breaks down without leaving toxic residue or microplastics behind. It looks and feels like plastic, but it isn’t derived from fossil fuels.
We believe in progress over perfection. Choosing renewable, plant-based materials is one way we make our products better for your body and better for the earth.
What Makes joni Period Care Feel Better?
Comfort You Can Feel (and Trust)
joni uses 100% certified organic cotton in our tampons, and organic bamboo crops in our pads. Our leak-free layers and wrappers are plant-based and certified compostable.
Peace of Mind Every Time
When you make the switch to joni, you’re not just choosing a product. You’re choosing a mindset: Care that doesn’t compromise. Waste that doesn’t linger.
FAQs:
Q: Do pads have plastic in them?
A: Most do. joni doesn’t. We use certified compostable biofilm plastic made from renewable plant starches, not petroleum. That means a lower carbon footprint and no microplastic worries.
Q: What are the healthiest pads to use?
A: Look for unscented, organic cotton or bamboo pads without synthetic additives. joni ticks all those boxes.
Q: Are biodegradable pads better for the environment?
A: Yes. They break down faster, with less toxic impact. joni pads are over 90% biodegradable and break down in composting conditions within 12 months.
