Viv was created by eco-conscious menstruators who knew the way the world approached eco-conscious period care needed an overhaul. Each traditional pad takes roughly 800 years to break down, a startling fact that sprung the Viv founders into action. Armed with the knowledge of how harmful period care is on the environment, they made it their mission to place earth-friendly menstrual products into the hands of every menstruator. Viv pad wrappers are 100% plastic-free and 100% toxin-free. Made of ultra-soft bamboo fiber, Viv night and day pads are allergen-free, bpa-free, phthalate-free, and 4 times more absorbent than traditional pads. Viv overnight and day pads are wrapped in a corn starch wrapper, for a completely plastic-free period.
