Recently relaunched by Corman USA Inc., Organyc is an impressive brand providing non-toxic pads and pantyliners made with 100 percent organic cotton. These products (like their tampons) are free from chlorine bleach, latex, parabens, perfumes, SAP, and plastics or man-made materials and packaging is made with biodegradable materials. They are breathable and hypoallergenic, and (as with all Corman products) are not tested on animals. Their website says their products are vegan-certified, but not by whom.

Organyc vs. Natracare vs. Seventh Generation
Organyc offer good value for money and a range of products with different absorbencies. However, because they use 100 percent cotton inside and out, the more absorbent pads are, well, a lot thicker than Natracare (View Price on Walmart) and Seventh Generation (who use more absorbent natural materials for the absorbent core). Similar to Seventh Generation (View Price on Walmart), Organyc also only offer one shape and size of pantyliners, unlike Natracare who offer a much more diverse range. Organyc also recently relaunched as a brand, so it remains to be seen how committed they’ll be to their environmental and health promises. Indeed, while they claim to be vegan-certified, there’s no indication of who this certification is with, so it seems Organyc have a few things to do to get on top of branding and transparency.
