PFAS score
DAME · Period Pads
DAME Washable Period Pad Night Ultra Reusable
Lower concern, but lack of coating transparency on waterproof backing warrants caution.
DAME's washable period pads use organic cotton facing, which is a lower-risk natural material. However, the brand does not publicly disclose the composition of the waterproof backing layer, a common source of PFAS in period products.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
