Iris + Arlo Organic Cotton Regular Pads
Iris + Arlo Regular Pads are winged disposable day pads in a box of 10. The top sheet and core are GOTS-certified organic cotton. The backsheet and wrapper are a non-GMO corn biopolymer.
Iris + Arlo is a Montreal company founded by Lara Emond in 2022. A La Presse profile the brand republished says the pads are designed in-house and made by outside manufacturers to spec. The box calls it a Canadian, woman-owned company. Cotton is not claimed as grown in Canada.
The pad is sold as plastic-free, fragrance-free, and free of BPA, dioxins, and elemental chlorine. Release paper holds the wings in the wrap. Adhesive sits under the pad, not against skin.

Company’s own label claim: “Canadian Company”
Iris + Arlo Regular Pads are Canadian-owned, not Canadian-made. The Montreal company designs GOTS organic-cotton pads and has them produced by contract factories. Organic cotton and the corn biopolymer backsheet are imported materials.
