All Natural Sparkle Pads
Made with biodegradable and compostable banana fibre, bamboo fibre and corn starch, Sparkle pads can biodegrade in around 6 months of disposal. #SwitchToSparkle
Conventional Plastic Pads
Commercial pads contain up to 90% plastic and other harsh chemicals and remain unchanged in the landfill for around 600 years after disposal. #PlasticFreePeriods
Why Banana Fibre
Banana plants grow rapidly in just 9-12 months. Once bananas are harvested, these plants become agro-waste. Farmers typically burn these discarded stems which pollutes the environment.
In India, around 800,000 hectares of banana plantations generate around 64 million tonnes of agro-waste.
We transform this agro-waste into sustainable raw material for making Sparkle pads.
Our Cause
Across the globe, millions of girls and women miss up to 50-60 days of school or work every year because they cannot afford menstrual hygiene products. Access to sanitary napkins can provide girls and women equal opportunities to reach their full potential at both school and work.
Every time you purchase a Sparkle banana fibre sanitary pad online, we donate a pad to a girl in need. Let’s give more girls a chance to stay in school!

Testimonials
I dared to try anything other than Whisper after 25yrs and this is magical. My entire period cycle was done with using only 4 pads. They were so absorbent and felt like I'm not wearing anything at all. This is a wonderful initiative. Hope you open branches in Kolkata. Would love to pick these up locally.

I gave Sparkle pads a try because I love how this brand supports circular economy and donates pads to underprivileged girls. Their pads are really soft and comfortable. Finally a brand with a great product and a greater initiative.
Dr. Suhani Patel
I was looking for a biodegradable version of sanitary napkin & I found many options, but none of those worked for me as some were not that absorbent & some were not comfortable. That's when I got to know about SPARKLE. I thought to give it a shot and it literally blew my mind. It's so absorbent and comfortable, I just loved it!! Recommended to everyone. Thank you team Sparkle.
Dr. Aakanksha Mishra
I keep trying biodegradable pads made by local brands after many years of using the imported Natracare brand. By far yours is the best. I am happy to use a non cotton brand that explores other fibres. It is always dry, given our practice of using the health faucet when visiting the loo. Thank you for what you have created. I do hope you will soon launch the smaller sizes.

Absolutely love how soft and comfortable these pads are. I have never tried a pad so soft. Individual disposal bags are really convenient. Sparkle is a complete package.
