REFINED period care products are made with premium organic bamboo fibres, which absorb 40% more fluids than conventional cotton pads. Bamboo fibres are super fine, unlike cotton wood pulp, meaning our pads are not just absorbent, but ultra-thin and dry on the surface, too.

Our patented, exclusive organic bamboo core is mechanically pressed with a highly absorbent microfibre core. This keeps the surface of the pad dry by locking away moisture, keeping it comfortable on your skin. Bamboo is also naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and does a great job at keeping odour away. 

Our pads and individual wrappers are made with plant-based, certified compostable biofilm.

REFINED has combined the best of nature and science to create a high performance pad that is the better choice for you and the environment.

Bamboo is 40% more absorbent than cotton. Our pads absorb more fluid and moisture than cotton, meaning the surface stays dry and comfortable for hours. Our pads are naturally thinner than cotton — designed to offer complete protection without the bulkiness.

Our bamboo is certified organic, crafted with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified bamboo pulp. Bamboo uses far less water than cotton throughout the growing process, with some bamboo species growing up to 50cm per day. This means bamboo is a sustainable, renewable resource. In addition, REFINED pads and individual wrappers are made with bio-based film, certified by TUV Austria, making them more environmentally friendly than conventional plastic.

As we craft natural period care products, we sought a way to create an antibacterial pad using the combination of nature and science. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, and does a fantastic job at preventing bacterial growth and odours. Our pads do not require nanosilver ion.

REFINED organic bamboo pads naturally reduce the presence of odour and bacteria, no artificial fragrance involved. Bamboo contains millions of microscopic pores that trap odour, eliminating the odour without man-made chemicals. This is why many odour repellants on the market are made with bamboo, and REFINED period care offers these natural bamboo benefits.

We’ve designed our pads to be leak-proof and highly absorbent, with a maximum coverage design that aligns with your body. Move freely knowing you are protected by the REFINED patented broad-surface design.

Our regular pads can absorb up to 187ml. Our Maxiflow pads can absorb up to 230ml.

We offer Regular and Maxiflow pads. Regular pads (280mm) are best for light to medium flow days. If you’re looking for extra protection on heavy flow days, use the Maxiflow pads (315mm) for day or night. Our pads are wider and longer than many others, so choose the size you’re comfortable with.

Absolutely. We recommend our Maxiflow pads as maternity pads since they offer supreme absorbency – plus, they’re longer and wider, too!

REFINED is entirely natural and toxin-free. Our pads are made from organic, safe material, meaning they are chlorine-free, odour blocking agent-free, fragrance-free, and ion-free. REFINED products have been clinically tested by dermatologists from Germany, and certified by Dermatest Germany. Our pads are designed to gentle on your most sensitive skin.

The recommended timeframe for changing your pad is every 4 to 6 hours, dependant upon your flow. Feel free to change the pad when it feels full or heavy.
