FAQ FAQ Organic cotton panty liners
Why choose Femi.Eko® panty liners made of organic cotton over conventional ones?
Femi.Eko® panty liners are created for everyday comfort and are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. They do not contain plastic, perfume or harmful chemicals. While conventional panty liners can irritate the intimate area and contain microplastics or synthetic gels, Femi.Eko® provides security for your intimate health and consideration for the environment.
What are Femi.Eko® panty liners made of?
The top and inner layers are made of GOTS-certified organic cotton – gentle on the skin and free of pesticides. No chlorine, perfumes or synthetic dyes – and most importantly: no plastic. We use vegetable biopolymers for the waterproof layer. The packaging is 100% cardboard, without plastic inserts – biodegradable and compostable.
Who is Femi.Eko® panty liner recommended for?
They are ideal for anyone who wants daily protection – for light discharge, the beginning or end of menstruation, sweat or as extra security with other menstrual products. Suitable for all ages, including teenagers.
Are Femi.Eko® panty liners hypoallergenic?
Yes! All Femi.Eko® panty liners are microbiologically, gynecologically and dermatologically tested and have a neutral pH. They are gentle and suitable even for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
What are vegetable biopolymers?
Biopolymers are materials extracted from natural sources such as cornstarch, sugarcane or other plants. They are used to make Femi.Eko® products waterproof without conventional plastic. They are biodegradable and compostable – and break down quickly without polluting the environment.
Is there plastic in contact with the skin in Femi.Eko® products?
No, no part of Femi.Eko® products has plastic in contact with the skin. All products are made exclusively from GOTS-certified organic cotton and natural materials. For waterproofing, only vegetable biopolymers are used – safe and skin-friendly.
Are Femi.Eko® panty liners biodegradable?
Yes! Both the product and the packaging are biodegradable and compostable – fully decomposed in 12–24 months without microplastic residues.
Can panty liners be used during menstruation?
Yes, but only for very light flow – at the beginning or end of menstruation – or as extra protection together with other products (menstrual cup, disc or tampon). For heavier flow, Femi.Eko® pads are recommended.
Can they be used daily without risks?
Yes, they are designed for daily use without irritating the skin or disrupting the vaginal flora – thanks to natural materials and the absence of chemicals.
How do you dispose of Femi.Eko® panty liners after use?
They can be thrown away in the residual waste or compost. Never throw them down the toilet! They are biodegradable and do not pollute.
