Shop now →The story
The brand sits between mass-market commercial pads (which use synthetic top sheets, plastic backing, and bleached cellulose cores) and pure-organic minimal brands (which solve the synthetic problem but offer little technical innovation beyond cotton). Gentle Day combines both: GOTS-certified organic cotton next to the skin, ICEA and Oeko-Tex 100 certification through the supply chain, Vegan Society approval, and the FAR-IR anion technology layered into the absorbent core. The range covers regular, heavy, overnight, postpartum, teen, liners, and tampons, designed for a full cycle from light flow days to postpartum recovery.
Period care should be made from materials you would put against any other part of your skin. The anion strip is what makes organic cotton work as well as synthetic for the wear time real women need.The Gentle Day Team, Vilnius
What makes them different
-
01
GOTS Organic Cotton
The top sheet that touches the skin is GOTS-certified organic cotton, not synthetic non-woven. GOTS is the strictest organic textile certification globally, covering both the fibre and the processing chemistry.
-
02
FAR-IR Anion Strip
A patented anion strip embedded in the absorbent core releases negatively charged ions, which suppress odour-causing bacteria during wear. This is the technical reason the pads handle longer wear times without the bacterial smell of conventional pads.
-
03
Multi-Stage Absorbent Core
The core combines cellulose pulp with the anion strip to manage flow and odour together. The result is breathable absorbency without the plastic-bag feel of mass-market pads.
-
04
Full Cycle Coverage
The range is built for a full menstrual cycle: regular and heavy flow pads, overnight, postpartum, teen mini, liners, and tampons. One brand covers every wear point, including the postpartum stage that most period brands ignore.

Touring the range
Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.
Regular flow pads and liners
The starting point for daily cycle coverage. The regular flow pads and the cotton liners handle most days of a typical cycle. Stock both and switch by flow.
Overnight, heavy flow, and tampons
For the heaviest 2 to 3 days of a cycle or for overnight wear. The overnight pad sits longer at the back; the super tampon handles heavier internal flow.
Specialty formats
The postpartum pad covers the extra-heavy weeks after birth. The teen mini pad is sized for younger users learning to manage a first cycle, with the same organic cotton construction.
