Read more about the safety of Serena pads and other products below.

Serena is designed for perfection. Our pads in the UAE and KSA, as in the rest of the world, are made of four layers, namely the top layer, the secondary top layer, the absorbent core and the back layer. Each layer helps provide comfort and protection during your most special days. They absorb fluid quickly and transfer it to the high-quality core.

As with all our markets, Serena pads are also manufactured in the region to strict international safety standards. The well-being of our women is at the heart of every product we create. Serena products’ safety assessments and formulations are reviewed by a number of independent industry experts including health authorities, university scientists and doctors. This helps us provide you with the best comfort.

Here’s how to make sure every sanitary pad that goes out to local stores and online retailers is safe to use.

Our products undergo rigorous safety testing. Serena pads are safe to use and are manufactured to meet the unique needs of each woman. To further cater to the needs of women with sensitive skin, we also produce pads designed with a soft top cover.

Serena believes in keeping up with the times. Our new breathable top sheet is soft and gentle on your skin and provides optimal protection during heavy flow days. Check out our new range of sanitary pads today.

Our products are designed using perforated films containing polyethylene (PE). This helps us maintain the quality of our products. We use PE in our products in all the countries we operate in as a means of preventing leaks. PE films are safely used in a wide range of industries:

• Polyethylene is a widely used component in medical products such as bandages, prosthetics, and surgical sutures.

Used to store food in the form of food bags, squeezable bottles, milk bottles, cereal boxes, liners and more.

Polyethylene films work wonders in protecting against menstrual leaks as the ingredient keeps the fluid secure. Here are some reasons why they are effective:

• Polythene helps transport menstrual fluid to the absorbent core. Serena uses it in fibre form as the top cover for menstrual pads.
• PE membranes provide a soft, silky feel. This makes the pads extremely comfortable while addressing the risk of rashes.
• We understand that women have unique needs. But that doesn’t mean they have to compromise. Serena’s promise of safety is true for every product that leaves our factories.
