Most are made of synthetic materials like rayon, which is sourced from trees, but highly processed so that the final product is far from being “natural.” Many period care products also use polyester, a plastic by another name.

Although producers are generally reluctant to reveal the exact composition of their products, the main materials of disposable menstrual pads are usually bleached rayon (cellulose made from wood pulp), cotton and plastics. In addition, fragrance and antibacterial agents can be included.

Kotex is an American brand of menstrual hygiene products, which includes the Kotex maxi, thin and ultra thin pads, the Security tampons, and the Lightdays pantiliners. Most recently, the company has added U by Kotex to its line of menstrual hygiene products.

Demand is up 7.7% over the past two years, and the company is running its Auburn, Maine Tampax factory 24/7 to meet demand. (All of P&G's tampons are made in one factory in Maine; all of the tampons of Edgewell Personal Care, which makes the brands Playtex and o.b., are made in a factory in Dover, Delaware.)

Other pros of pads include: They come in lots of options to accommodate changes in your flow and activities. They carry almost no risk of TTS. You can wear them overnight.

Sanitary pads Probably the most commonly used period product, the sanitary pad/napkin has been around commercially for over a century. They are attached to the inside of the user's underwear, and work by absorbing menstrual blood through layers of absorbent material – usually rayon, cotton and plastic.

The main raw materials used today for sanitary pads are mainly made from cotton. With the development of technology, people invent more synthetical materials including rayon (which is often considered as artificial celluloses), non-woven fabric, paper pulp, and a combination of these materials.
