Regular Pads
"New favorite pad! I’m accustomed to using ecofriendly and nontoxic feminine products - a lot of times they don’t perform as well. This one is great! And I’m so happy and proud it’s a local company.
Looking for a trusty wingwoman? We’ve got you. We call these pads regular, but they’re far from it! Ultra-thin, leak-proof pads that will support you through dates, drives, and daydreaming on your couch.
Finally, you can experience breathable movement and less irritations.
- No icky-plastic-y feeling
- Keeps you dry
- Perfect for sensitive skin
"A huge plus for me was how truly comfortable the pads felt. It felt as if my undies just had an extra layer of soft cloth."
Supersoft organic bamboo surface
Traditional pads are made of synthetic fibers that lead to allergies and irritation — something you won’t get with gentle, organic bamboo.
What we replaced
Top Layer: Perforated plastic sheet made of PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene)
"It absorbs right away and I wont have to worry about it spreading all over."
Perfectly shaped wings + anti-leak guard
Designed to fit your undies. Less bunching, more leak protection, and more movement.
What we replaced
Anti-leak made of perforated plastic sheet made of PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene)
"It's sooo thin and light, but no matter how strong my flow is, it really does not leak!"
Super absorbent core
Supportive for hours on end. Each pad can be used up to 6 hours before changing.
What we replaced
Synthetic chemicals: Artificial perfumes and heavy metal dyes
"I like how the adhesive doesn't stick too hard to my underwear that it tears up when I pull it off!"
Breathable corn back sheet
No more icky plastic-y feeling with our biodegradable and breathable back sheet. We also use a hypoallergenic glue for our adhesive.
What we replaced
Bottom layer: PE (polyethylene); petrochemical-based backsheet

If you’re a person who bleeds and are looking for more sustainable period products that aren’t made from plastic or other toxic materials, then Halia is for you!
Our pads are designed to function like regular sanitary pads to help you get through your period — except they’re more comfortable, have less health risks, and don’t harm the environment. We only use organic and biodegradable materials! 🍃 -
By nature, cotton is a resource-intensive crop since it requires a lot of water and pesticides to cultivate. Bamboo, on the other hand, does not need pesticides and can thrive with just rainfall. It is also a fast-growing grass, so it can regenerate quickly when harvested. In fact, it can grow up to four feet per day!

As much as menstrual cups or other reusable period products create less negative impact than their disposable counterparts, we believe that everyone should have access to eco-friendly sanitary pads and period products that suit their lifestyle — without having to compromise their values.
Our pads are made for people who want to make more environmentally responsible choices, but may not be ready to commit to reusables. Think of us as a reliable, plastic-free, single-use option.
But if you’re already using reusables, yay!

Traditional plastic pads take 500-800 years to decompose. On the other hand, our biodegradable pads take only 6 months to break down into organic matter in industrial compost standards, and 12 months to break down in a household compost. If it ends up in a landfill, it will take about 2-5 years to biodegrade depending on the conditions — still less than conventional pads!

Halia regular and super pads are 91% biodegradable. The MVP of our pads, the super absorbent inner layer that soaks up all the blood, is not biodegradable. There are no readily-available bio materials to replace it with right now but we have been keeping our eyes peeled on alternatives that are still in their research and development stages 👀 We are very excited to have them commercially available in the near future!
