Iris + Arlo Organic Cotton Super Pads

Iris + Arlo Super Pads are winged overnight disposables, 280 mm long, for regular to abundant flow. The live default pack on the brand shop is 14 pads. 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.

The 14-pad pack is $9.99 on irisarlo.com. The brand says it is on more than 70% of Walmart Canada stores.
