ira pads are truly silky. It feels amazing compared to other brands I've used before. Felt like I touched clouds when I put my pants on lol

It feels sooooo soft. So good that I felt sorry for myself for not spending time to find good products for myself, but just things that are easier to get my hands on. Been walking all day and had no problems at all - really want everyone to try this.

- direct message from customer, 20 Dec 2020 [translated]

I tried the day, night, and panty liner - haven't got a chance to try the light day pads yet.

1. I had concerns for the glue in the beginning but once I used it there was no problems at all. The glue is good and secured the pads from not moving at all. It's a good amount of stickiness too since there was no flipping or bending throughout the day. 
2. As for the surface feel, the brand mentioned they didn't use any SAP, and I really like it hahaha. I feel like seeing how much my period isn't scary at all and the redness is more fresh and bright than normal.
3. After using ira for 2-3 days I don't feel itchy and there's no rash on my bum at all. I'm so happy because normally pads always give me rashes.

I want to leave a review that pads from this brand is so good! Secured glue, feels great, and doesn't flip around whilst using - it just flows and moves as one with my panties. recommend this brand.

I just got a chance to try ira and I'm using it right now. It's so soft! Feels like a soft fabric and makes me realise that we don't have as much period as I thought because they don't use the SAP. Also, it makes me notice the colour of my more - they don't look as dark as they normally do, and most importantly I don't experience any unpleasant period smell from the used pads like I normally do with other brands.

I want to give a full review of ira again because I like it sooooo much. It's verrrrrry comfortable - feels like I'm wearing nothing. It's soft and doesn't cut my thighs. These organic sanitary pads are from "ira", which is made from bamboo and corn fibre, giving it a very light and soft sensation. This is also biodegradable, which is another eco-friendly item that I love! In the beginning, I was a bit curious to try this out, but I'm so glad I did because I'm addicted! My legs always rub and get cuts or irritation, but this pads doesn't cause that at all - brilliant!

One limitation they have is that they don't use SAP, so the absorption is not as good. You shouldn't wear the pads for too long and change them every 2-3 hours. Usually, I use 2-3 pads per day but for these you have to look out when it is full. Another thing is it gets fluffy a little bit easily, so changing it often is a good idea. 

Whoever wants comfortable pads - I recommend it! 

This brand's panty liner is the most comfortable I have ever tried.

...Let's talk about the quality and how impressed I am. It's SO👏GOOD👏. I can no longer use any other sanitary pads brand. Normally, I will get severe itchiness when wearing pads, even when I choose the most expensive or best ones. I fell in love with ira's softness, good texture, dryness, and no irritation. Even after 8 hours - joking! You should change the pads every 3 hours 😂 and the glue doesn't feel too sticky, but they are secured, which is great because it doesn't stick to my underwear... Above everything, on top of the amazing quality, a chic woman like me loves the packaging design. You can't tell this is sanitary pads at first glance - the box is so pretty. The male cashier didn't pick it up in an awkward way or ask if I want a separate shopping bag 😂...

Organic and biodegradable pads & liners, designed for our body and planet.

A freelance illustrator and graphic designer who graduated from a communication design program, whose works are particularly obsessed with details on vectors and vibrant colors.

"The inspiration for all illustrations is based on me, through the encounter of my experiences with menstruation. The visualization of my feelings, pain, and touch in each stage of menstruation are being expressed in multiple themes to illustrate and reflect on how we, as women, actually feel in different creative forms."

Kornsarin Pattarasopak (Reen) was born in 1993. She studied Visual and Communication Design at Silpakorn University. She is a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Bangkok, Thailand. 

"My inspiration comes from cards, which normally have two sides. This ties in with period moods which can change rapidly and constantly. Cards are also collectables, just like NFTs, which works perfectly for NFT collectors."

Angel & Devil: This image include reflections of the different faces of humans, which we can rarely tell whether they are beautiful or worn out. All is a reflection of a part of one's life, so we can't divide or separate these two. The image of a broken sword and chopped snake also represents the beginning of emotions that are confusing and hard to define. 

Amber: This concept came from the 7 deadly sins, envy, and the expression of emotion from the artwork 'Fallen Angel' by Alexandre Cabanel. Following with other deadly sins that menstruators experience during a menstrual cycle: lust, sloth, and wrath.

Season: I believe that human lives resemble seasons. There are inevitable cycles and truths we cannot avoid, just like menstruators having to experience their menstruation every month. These come with emotional situations that are uncertain and unpredictable. It resembles being dyed with bright colours filled with emotions that are hard for us to accept but still have to live with.

Pomegranate: This fruit is used to represent abundance for centuries, more specifically in human fertility. Moreover, I want this image to be the most erotic of all so it has elements that are similar to sex. 

Body: It's very challenging to work on nature without the human form. Hence, I included curves of the human body. 

Pearl: I've always been interested in the artwork 'The Birth of Venus' by Sandro Botticelli. Also, pearls have always been used to represent extravagance and dreamy. I want to use pearl in a different way that doesn't make it look soft but more mysterious. 

Lotus Pond: The lotus flower represents being reborn, but in terms of emotions and purity more than literal rebirth like the pomegranate. So I've used the lotus flower-like emotions that come and go in cycles. 

Sasi Tee is a Bangkok-based freelance artist and designer. She makes various things like books, zines, prints, and such. She enjoys exploring varied fields of creativity. 

"There are 7 main images I made under the concept of nature. For me, gender is difficult to determine clearly because of the many differences and fluidity, which makes it beautiful. Therefore, the first thing that came to my mind when I started working on this project is the diversity in nature. All variations in nature are deemed normal and natural. Emotions and gender vary for everyone just like nature, whether it's budding, blooming, or wilting. Whatever you are or going through, everyone is elegantly perfect in your own way."

Sprinkle on cake ( On Natnicha), is a freelance illustrator based in Bangkok, Thailand. Her work often features feminine objects such as flowers, animals and desserts using vibrant colours. 

"My inspiration for this collection is from the delicacy and complexity of flowers, which resembles the female reproductive organ and anatomy. I want to present the different sides of flowers, not just the beautiful side. They can have other expressions that resemble different emotions and don't always look cute or sweet.

A charity campaign between ira and 4 Thai female artists to raise funds for a pad drive in vulnerable communities along the border of Thailand. In honour of menstrual hygiene day, we want to emphasise the importance of period rights and menstrual education, by using art as a tool to communicate and raise awareness on gender equality and period poverty. 

Like NFTs which give you ownership and individuality, each person experiences periods differently. We hope you can find a piece that best describes your experience in this collection and own it, just like embracing your own self in whatever form or emotions you have in a menstrual cycle.

This campaign not only raises awareness about our diverse bodies and shines a light into what menstruators go through every month, but also gives back the dignity to children and women in vulnerable communities. Through art, I want people to see stigmatized subjects that have been overlooked, shamed, and hidden for too long in a different way. Vaginas are beautiful, periods are natural, and pads are a necessity.
