Plastic-Free Period Care Isn’t Just a Trend

You shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to trust what you’re putting in your body. Yet many mainstream pads and tampons are made with petroleum-based plastics, irritants, and undisclosed ingredients.

joni is different — not just because the pads and tampons are better for the planet, but because they’re better for you.

Why joni is Different

joni period care is designed to protect the planet, not pollute it. As a bonus, disposable pads and tampons are also better for you.

Here’s how:

• Bamboo is used, one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. It requires significantly less water than cotton and no harmful pesticides.
• Wrappers and top sheets are made from cornstarch-based bioplastic, not petroleum-based plastic.
• Pads and tampons are 94% biodegradable, meaning they break down much faster than mainstream products.
• Products are made in a closed-loop system, where chemicals used in manufacturing are safely reused repeatedly — leaving behind no toxins.
• joni is also FSC-certified, meaning wood materials come from responsibly managed forests, and BPI-certified, meaning products meet composting standards.

What Makes joni Period Care Feel Better?

Comfort You Can Feel (and Trust)

joni uses 100% certified organic cotton in tampons and organic bamboo crops in pads. Leak-free layers and wrappers are plant-based and certified compostable.

Peace of Mind Every Time

Choosing joni is more than selecting a product. It reflects a mindset — care that doesn’t compromise and waste that doesn’t linger.

More Than a Pad

joni is not just changing what goes in your underwear — the goal is to help change the system.

joni is a certified B Corp, meaning high standards for environmental and social impact are met. Recertification occurs every few years, ensuring continued accountability and improvement.

Five percent of every purchase is donated to help fight period poverty. Partnerships with grassroots organizations across Canada support individuals without access to safe, healthy period care.

What the “Buy Canadian” Policy Means in Period Care

Why import period care when a Canadian alternative already exists? That’s where joni comes in. Supporting Canadian businesses is not only about economics — it’s about community impact, accessibility, and sustainability.

Every organization — whether managing a retail store, office tower, university, or wellness clinic — has the opportunity to evaluate suppliers and ask:

• Are Canadian companies being sourced wherever possible?
• Do purchasing choices reflect organizational values?
• Can businesses be supported that reinvest directly into Canadian communities?

For period care, the answer is simple: yes. A Canadian option exists, and it is already trusted by some of the country’s most respected retailers and institutions.
