Gopad offers a practical and viable solution to the menstrual waste challenge faced in many countries worldwide.

Gopad is the world’s first menstrual pad that will disappear by itself if it escapes into nature or ends up in a landfill. Gopad does not need a managed composting facility which is only available in very few countries.

Gopad is engineered to transform into an earth-friendly wax and fully biodegrade within two years, leaving no toxins or microplastics behind. This remarkable feature ensures that it is safe for the environment and contributes to reducing pollution and waste.

At the same time, Gopad offers all the same benefits as ordinary disposable menstrual pads. It is completely toxin-free and safe for its users. It does not compromise on softness and comfort while providing an environmentally friendly alternative.
