Gentle Day Organic Extra Heavy / Postpartum Pads – Maximum Protection with Certified Safer Materials

The Gentle Day Organic Extra Heavy Postpartum Pads are the most absorbent and longest pads in the Gentle Day range, designed specifically for postpartum recovery and very heavy menstrual flow.

Measuring 360 mm (14.17 inches) with an exceptional 200 ml absorbency, these ultra-thin yet highly absorbent pads provide maximum coverage, security, and comfort during your most vulnerable days.

Enhanced with patented FAR-IR ANION Strip™ technology, these pads combine advanced hygiene innovation with eco-certified, skin-safe materials.

Each pack contains 6 ultra-absorbent pads.

Why Safer Period Products Are Essential Postpartum

After childbirth, the body is in a delicate recovery phase. Postpartum bleeding (lochia) can be heavy, prolonged, and unpredictable. During this time, intimate skin may be more sensitive than usual.

Choosing safer period products during postpartum recovery helps reduce exposure to:

• Synthetic fragrances

• Chlorine bleach residues

• Artificial dyes

• Potential endocrine disruptors

• Irritating plastic-heavy materials

Understanding material transparency and certification standards is especially important during postpartum healing.

Maximum Absorbency Without Compromise

Despite being ultra-thin and breathable, Gentle Day Organic Extra Heavy Postpartum Pads absorb up to 10 times more than many conventional heavy-flow pads.

Their advanced multi-layer structure includes:

• Hydrophobic non-woven top layer to keep skin feeling dry
• Air-laid cotton layer for rapid absorption and distribution
• Non-toxic Japanese super-absorbent polymer capable of absorbing several hundred times its weight
• Breathable calcium carbonate-infused backing

This design ensures powerful absorbency while maintaining airflow and flexibility.

Patented FAR-IR ANION Strip™ Technology

A defining feature of Gentle Day Organic Extra Heavy Postpartum Pads is the patented Yellow FAR-IR ANION Strip™, infused with mineral tourmaline and silver ions.

This innovation helps:

• Inhibit bacterial growth

• Neutralise odour naturally

• Support hygiene without artificial fragrance

• Reduce discomfort during menstruation or postpartum recovery

Unlike scented pads that mask odours with chemicals, this mineral-based strip provides natural protection.
