LOLA Organic Cotton Panty Liners

Important note on pads and panty liners

Pads and panty liners are close-contact products, so I pay close attention to material choices. In an imperfect, highly processed world, I focus on choosing better or best low-tox options where possible. For me, that means selecting brands that are clear about what’s in the product and how it’s made.

What I avoid / What I look for

When choosing pads or panty liners, I focus on things that are easy to verify from labels and brand websites. I look to avoid added fragrance, colorants or dyes, polyethylene glycol (PEGs), ethoxylated ingredients, parabens, bisphenols like BPA, petroleum-based ingredients such as petrolatum or mineral oil, and synthetic fibers like rayon when they’re clearly stated.

I also look for an organic cotton contact layer whenever possible. Seeing organic cotton listed gives me more confidence around how the cotton is grown and processed. Clear material claims, certifications, and straightforward brand language matter to me when deciding whether a product feels like a better low-tox option.

Product description

LOLA Organic Cotton Panty Liners are ultra-thin liners designed for light days or everyday backup. The brand states these liners are made with 100% organic cotton for both the topsheet and core, a plant-based bioplastic backsheet, and non-toxic adhesives. They’re also stated to be free from added fragrance, dyes, deodorants, synthetic fibers, and chlorine bleaching.

Certifications and testing

The brand states the cotton used is certified organic. Independent testing reported by Mamavation found no PFAS detected in the product they tested.

What I like

I like how clearly the brand breaks down the materials used in the topsheet, core, backsheet, and adhesive, rather than keeping it vague. I also appreciate that organic cotton is used on the parts that sit closest to the body. After digging deeper, seeing non-detect results in third-party testing adds another layer of confidence for me.

Things to keep in mind

This is still a processed product category overall. For me, this comes down to choosing the best available option based on material transparency and what brands are willing to clearly share.
