The LiZZOM story

Chanda Lokendra, founder of LiZZOM, Dubai.

We made the pad we couldn't buy.

LiZZOM started in Dubai with a simple complaint: every pad on the shelf was a plastic product with a floral print, and nobody would tell us what was in it.

So we built one from plants. A bamboo-fibre top sheet that breathes at 45°C. A plant-fibre core that holds 26.9 times its weight. A corn-starch backing instead of polyethylene. No chlorine, no fragrance, no dioxins. Every ingredient printed on the box, because "medical product" should not mean "none of your business".

Chanda Lokendra founded LiZZOM in Dubai and still runs it. We are women, we live here, and we use what we sell.

What we stand for

Say what is in it. Five ingredients, all listed. Certificates from people who do not work for us: OEKO-TEX, OK Compost, FSC, BPI, ECOCERT. See the certificates.
Build for this climate. Breathability is not a luxury feature in the Gulf. It is the difference between a normal day and a rash.
Leave less behind. 95 percent biodegradable by weight. A conventional pad is about 90 percent plastic.
Pass it on. Every order donates a pad to a girl who needs one, through schools and community partners in the UAE.
