BB Pads

05/12/2022

Here we have a Super-Dooper/Night-Time pad and the All-Natural, Vegan, Chemical-Free Stain Remover Stick by — great idea for stocking fillers!

This pad consists of two parts: a two layered main pad with straps and a three-layered napkin which folds into three and inserts through the straps. So, you’re essentially getting 11 whole layers of absorbency of organic, unbleached cotton and TENCEL. This pad is designed for night-time wear or for lounging-around-the-house kind of days.

Dimensions: L27cm x W8cm

(Width measurement does not include wings)

Get your orders in soon in time for Christmas! ###

We are REALLY bloody excited to be taking part in PEXMAS Christmas market in Copeland Park, Peckham, this time next week on Sunday 4th December!

Last year was A LOT of fun and we just can’t wait for round two. Saunter down, have some mulled wine, come and have a chat, browse the 100 beautiful sole-trader and independent stalls and maybe even go completely WILD and have a boogie! There will be food and drinks, clothing, plants, music, books, ceramics and homeware — the lot! Two of our personal faves are and so make sure to stop by their stalls!

It’s time to get festive BB fans and what better time to also make the switch to zero-waste, circular, 100% plastic-free, harmful-chemical-free, reusable, home-compostable period pads?! We will also be selling our Deluxe Kits which make stunning presents for loved ones with periods. They include one of each of all the pads times and bags as well as an all-natural stain-remover stick by , iron-rich raw cacao drinking chocolate by and a hormone-balancing, soothing aromatherapy rollerball by .

Hope to see ya there! Lots of love ###

Last weekend we were extremely honoured to attend the Round Table Global Youth Awards 2022 in Camden where our founder, Zoë Miller, was up for the Environmental Change Award... and happened to win! 

It was an absolutely incredible evening full of passion, hope, inspiration, innovation and love.  We were reduced to tears at some points to hear about some of the incredible work that young people around the world are doing. We want to congratulate every single person who took part and all the other finalists including Erfan Firouzi (18, Dubai) and Lucas Tejedor (18, Brazil)who were also winners in the environmental category.

is a speaker, educator, naturalist, conservationist and storyteller who strives to research the natural world and the impacts that humans are having on it and spread his knowledge and awareness through educational outreach.

Lucas created an app that helps people know where to recycle electronic waste as Brazil has one of the highest rates of this problem in the world. He also created A.I. that could help rapidly identify forest fires. 

Thank you so much to for providing such an amazing platform for young people to learn, grow and be inspired.

To add to the BB experience you can add in to your pad orders some little extras…

BB Pads has teamed up with local, southeast London-based Forage Botanicals to bring you Aunt Flo…

This (plastic-free) jar of goodness is unbelievably nurturing, soothing and boosting when you’re not feeling your finest and suffering from period fatigue as nettle and cacao are high in iron.

If you are having heavy periods and feel like you may be a bit iron-deficient, this drinking chocolate will feel incredibly nourishing.

It contains absolutely no sweeteners or dairy so you’re free to sweeten it exactly how you like and serve it with whatever milk you want. We’d recommend a rich oat milk and sweetening with muscovado sugar.

Natasha, founder of Forage Botanicals, is a medical herbalist who is extremely passionate about women’s empowerment.

After having suffered for years with severe period pain and having only been offered pain killers by doctors, she went on a journey to find out what really would work for her body.

We’ve also teamed up with the incredible Emily from AIRA therapy bringing you pocket-sized roller-balls of Flower Moon: a combination of balancing Geranium, calming Clary Sage, relaxing Lavender, and comforting Rose combined with soothing Calendula, Safflower and Jojoba oils. It is an aromatherapy blend to help restore balance to heightened emotions, to nurture wellbeing and support harmonious sleep.

Pretty bloody brilliant if you ask us.

We asked you BB fans what you wish you’d known about periods sooner or before you got one to begin with and here’s what y’all said!

Thanks to all of those who took the time to answer our BB questionnaire ☺️♥️🙏🩸

Because BB Pads are 100% plastic-free and do not use synthetic fabrics, when you wash them, no polluting microplastics are going into the water system and, when they do eventually reach the end of their lives, you can shove them in with your home compost or council food waste bin.

Nature-positive production lies at the heart of what we do and stand for. We strive to ensure that the raw materials we use are non-depleting and non-destructive to the environment as well as being kind to your body. Our bloody brilliant pads are proudly plastic and harmful chemical free.
 
Unlike conventional, disposable pads which can be made of up to 90% plastic and contain traces of toxic chemicals, synthetic fragrances and adhesives, our pads consist of carefully selected layers of sustainable, environmentally-friendly fabrics, each with specific qualities which make them perfect for their role in period pads.

We do not use fabrics such as polyester, nylon or acrylic, as each time that these are washed (which your pads frequently will be) they release thousands of microplastics into the water.

BB Pads are made up of layers of organic cotton, TENCEL, waste plant fibre fabrics (pineapple, h**p, galangal and kapok) and are dyed using natural plant-based dyes.

We strive to ensure that the raw materials we use are non-depleting and non-destructive to the environment as well as being kind to your body. Our bloody brilliant pads are proudly plastic and harmful chemical free.

Unlike conventional, disposable pads which can be made of up to 90% plastic and contain traces of toxic chemicals, synthetic fragrances and adhesives, our pads consist of carefully selected layers of sustainable, environmentally-friendly fabrics, each with specific qualities which make them perfect for their role in period pads.

The inner layer of every pad is made from exceedingly soft 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. This layer also has specially designed contour stitching to guide the blood towards the most absorbent central core of the pad.

It is unbleached and undyed, meaning that there are absolutely no harmful toxins or chemicals coming into contact with your skin in this sensitive area.

Compared with conventionally produced cotton, organic cotton emits 46% less greenhouse gas and requires up to 91% less water to produce. Organic cotton farmers use natural methods like crop rotation instead of hazardous synthetic pesticides and fertilisers which can damage ecosystems, poison waterways, and endanger workers who often cannot afford safety equipment needed to protect them.

Bloody brilliant. ♥️🩸
