So, when it comes to choosing your period care our advice is to always opt for products that include zero SAPs (like our organic cotton range!) If you have any more questions about ingredients that shouldn’t be in your period care, please drop us a message at customercare@wearemooncup.com

Superabsorbent polymers are often used in period care that claims to be sustainable as well as the mainstream brands. In particular, period care made from bamboo includes SAPs because bamboo is not absorbent enough on its own to absorb menstrual fluid. Kind of cancels out the sustainability factor of bamboo, right?

Polymer

Superabsorbent polymers are tiny artificial beads designed to absorb up to 300 times their weight in fluid. Commonly composed of sodium polyacrylate, a synthetic substance that absolutely never biodegrades, that means it’s living in landfill forever.

Polyacrylonitrile

They look like tiny baubles and when they make contact with liquid and begin absorbing they take on a slushy/frogspawn appearance. Pretty gross huh?

These chemicals are dangerous and we believe they shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near your vagina or anywhere else for that matter.
