FAQs

Made from sustainable plant based ingredients, Sparkle pads are gentle to your skin and kind to the planet. Conventional pads contain up to 90% plastic and remain unchanged in the landfill for around 600-800 years after disposal. All natural Sparkle pads are made with banana fibre, bamboo fibre and corn starch. They can biodegrade in around 6 months after disposal.

When you choose plastic-free and chemical-free Sparkle pads, you also support circular economy and positively impact local agriculture, communities and the environment.

Banana plants grow rapidly in just 9 to12 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. Worldwide, there are over 9 million hectares of banana farms. No extra land is required to obtain natural banana fibre since it is extracted from abundantly available banana tree stems.

Banana fibre is naturally super absorbent and highly effective at locking away menstrual fluid.

Banana farmers earn extra income each harvest by selling banana stems or fibres which were previously discarded as agro-waste.

Conventional pads contain plastics, synthetic fibres, artificial fragrances, deodorants, dyes and many other harsh chemicals that may cause rashes, irritation or allergies.

Extremely sensitive permeable membranes of the vagina allow direct transfer of harmful toxins from conventional pads into your circulatory system since they remain in close contact with vaginal tissues for long durations.

Sparkle pads are made with carefully chosen natural ingredients such as banana fibre, bamboo fibre and corn starch. Let’s keep plastics and harsh chemicals as far away from your body as possible.

Sparkle pads are made in India. Instead of importing low-cost pads from China or other countries and simply repackaging, rebranding or marketing them as “premium” pads with very high margins, we believe in supporting circular economy. Sparkle pads are made in India using locally sourced banana fibre. Besides reducing agro-waste, Sparkle pads also provide extra income to banana farmers and help local economy.

Sparkle maxi-fluff banana fibre pads are available in two different sizes: Large (280 mm) and Overnight (320 mm).

First, unwrap the pad from the packaging. Peel off the release papers and stick the pad firmly on the centre patch of your underwear. Finally, wrap the wings around the underside of your underwear.

We recommend changing your Sparkle pad every 4 to 6 hours, though you can change it more often depending on your body's needs.

You may dispose of Sparkle pads normally in a waste bin. All-natural Sparkle pads can biodegrade in around 6 months of disposal.
