Frequently asked questions
Are Kora products organic?
Yes. Kora products are made with certified organic cotton. We believe that what touches your body matters, which is why we prioritize organic, breathable materials in every product we create.
Do Kora pads contain fragrance?
No. Kora products are made without added fragrance. We believe in honesty and transparency, our products let your body be as it naturally is, without masks or unnecessary additives.
Are Kora products suitable for sensitive skin?
Our products are designed to be gentle and made without unnecessary additives that can cause irritation. We use breathable, organic cotton specifically chosen for comfort. However, if you have known sensitivities, please check the full ingredient list or consult with your healthcare provider.
Do you use chlorine bleaching?
No. Kora products are made without chlorine bleaching. We use gentler, safer whitening methods that are better for your body and the environment. This is part of our commitment to honesty and care in everything we create.
Can postpartum pads be used for heavy periods?
Postpartum pads are designed for extra absorbency and may be suitable for heavier flow, depending on individual needs. Many people find them helpful during heavier cycle days. We recommend trying them to see what works best for your body.
What makes Kora different from other menstrual care brands?
Kora was founded on the belief that menstrual and postpartum care should prioritize women's dignity and comfort over profit. We use certified organic cotton, avoid unnecessary additives, and design with real women's bodies in mind. Our products are honest, transparent, and made with respect for your body and wellbeing.
How long do Kora pads last during the day and night?
This varies depending on your individual flow. Our daytime pads are designed for regular flow and should be changed every 4–6 hours. Overnight pads provide extra length and absorbency for extended wear. We recommend changing any pad when it feels full or after 8 hours, whichever comes first.
Are Kora products eco-friendly or recyclable?
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact. Our products use certified organic cotton and sustainable materials. While individual pads are not widely recyclable in standard programs, we are continuously working on solutions to minimize waste and support a circular approach to menstrual care.
How do I know which product is right for my flow?
Kora offers three main products: Liners for light flow and daily freshness, Pads for regular daytime and overnight use, and Postpartum Pads for heavy flow and postpartum recovery. Most people use a combination throughout their cycle. We recommend starting with a variety to discover what feels most comfortable for different times of your cycle.
Where can I find information about postpartum recovery and care?
We have dedicated resources and information about postpartum recovery on our Postpartum Care page. Additionally, we encourage open conversations about postpartum health. Consult your healthcare provider with specific medical questions, and remember that postpartum care—both physical and emotional—is an essential part of recovery after birth.
