joni Regular Pads
joni Regular Pads are winged disposable pads for light to medium flow. Each box holds 8 pads, 24.5 cm long, with a viscose topsheet made from certified organic bamboo and a fast-lock core.
The company sits in Victoria, British Columbia, co-founded in 2020 by Jayesh Vekariya and Linda Biggs. Its FAQ states the pads are imported from China because disposable pad plants do not exist in Canada. Tampons are a separate SKU from Slovenia.
The topsheet is unscented viscose from organic bamboo. Wrappers and backsheet use non-GMO cornstarch biofilm. joni says the pads are about 92% biodegradable under compost conditions, with SAP and food-grade adhesive making up the rest.
A box is $6.50 CAD on getjoni.com. The brand is a certified B Corp and says at least 2% of revenue funds period-equity donations in Canada.
