Before and After Nua: Real Stories About Zero Irritation

4 Mins read

Where period products are concerned, most of us didn’t even know we had options that would give us zero irritation. We just used what was handed to us in school, what our moms used, what was available. And then we just… lived with it. The rashes, the chafing, the weird plastic smell, the low-key dread every time we sat down or stood up.

Traditional pads might do the job, but they never really felt designed for us. It was like choosing between bad and worse. And we told ourselves it was normal because everyone went through it. And everyone WAS going through it. 

But discomfort shouldn’t be the default. And irritation isn’t just a side effect we have to tolerate. It’s a sign something’s wrong. And honestly? We deserve so much better.

Enter Nua. And a new generation of women who are finally saying, “Yeah, this is what comfort and care feel like.”

And they mean it. Not just in a “this feels nice” kind of way, but in a life-changing way. The difference between Nua and other brands is that real. Just hear women explain it in their own words with these excerpts from Nua reviews from real customers, who chat all over social media and in our DMs about their Nua experiences.

One of the first things they noticed about Nua’s zero irritation pads? 

“It didn’t feel synthetic. It didn’t feel like anything.”

“Your pads are so soft and don’t feel synthetic at all. I’m so so glad I found you”

“Amazing experience of Nua, feeling like wearing nothing, really doesn’t feel like I have periods”

“Hey! I tried the Nua pads for the first time and yes it did make a difference! The pads are really very soft and you don’t feel like you’re wearing them. Extra points for the cute packaging of every size :)))”

For many, that first switch is a revelation. Nua pads are made with feather-soft, skin-friendly materials that make you question why you ever settled for anything else. No plastic-y top layer. No rough edges. Just breathable comfort.

This isn’t just softness for the sake of it. It’s softness with a purpose. Every layer of a Nua pad is designed to respect your skin. Whether you’re sitting through meetings or curled up with a hot water bag, you shouldn’t have to think about your pad or worry about an uncomfortable rash. That’s the benchmark. That’s what these women are experiencing, and it’s what Nua designed for.

“No more rashes. No more regrets. Just Zero Irritation”

crazycatlady_forever says, "| can vouch for this. I have forgotten that rashes from sanitary pads exist because l've been using Nua."

“Honestly these pads are so good ….I switched my old pads with Nua pads …. Every month I have to suffer with itching and irritation but not this month cause I used Nua pads”

“It’s the best rash-free and non-irritant pads that I have ever bought. Been using from 6 months or so. Thank you for making lives better. Keep up the good work.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate your amazing products! Due to my menstrual cycle issue, I had to use your 170 to 180 pads for 100 days in a row, and I can’t thank you enough for the comfort they provided. No irritation, no rashes—just pure ease during a challenging time.”

The zero irritation promise isn’t just a tagline, it’s a mission. The top layer of Nua’s pads is chemical- and fragrance-free, and made from fabric that’s gentle even on the most sensitive skin. And the reviews speak volumes. When you hear women say in their reviews that they forgot rashes were even a thing after they switched to Nua pads, you know something’s working.

“Heavy flow? No fear.”

“I am somebody who experienced heavy bleeding during the first few days and no matter how long the pad was, it would always overflow. I’m so glad I found you”

“It’s a damn good product I must say. I just used two xxxl pads since tomorrow & they r super good & super absorbent.. Very soft & comfy product I must say..”

charanyabala says, "I appreciate whole heartedly your product. I have used for a month. It's such a savior to me. I highly recommend for heavy flow girls. I have been Ostruggling to find a best product.finally found a good one. But I request the team to maintain the quality. Please don't compromise it. Thank you for giving us this product."

“Hi, I used the product. They are so nice and comfy. I slept the whole night peacefully without the fear of leakage and discomfort. Nua is so good.”

Nua’s Heavy Flow pads were created for exactly this reason – because your flow isn’t always the same, because night leaks are real, and because nobody should be waking up at 3am to change. Whether you need an ultra-thin pad or the ultra-slim armour of a Heavy Flow size, Nua’s pads are designed to keep you dry, not paranoid.

Women are recommending Nua like it’s a skincare secret.

“I am very happy to share that I am using Nua sanitary pads this time. This item is very very good… I have recommended your product to many of my friends and my cousins. I have recommended these sanitary pads to almost 9 to 10 people.”

pu.rew30 says, "love nua pads... I had rashes from other brands pads then i order your sanitary pads.... they're best... No rashes and no leakage."

doby_is_free123 says, "Chemicals or not, nua is of the best quality. I started using it then j recommend it to my sister, she loves it and only uses nua now then j commendes it to my sister in law. Now I will buy it for my niece. Never ever going back to that damn stayfree."

bhavani_lukulapu says, "It's been 3 years have been using them and there is no going back.. I can't even think of trying somethingelse and didn't even remember how many people I have suggested using Nua,l always stock them up atm for6months.. Best pads ever."

lilmissphotogenic says, "Can't agree more...These are the best best pads..I thank my sister for introducing me to Nua pads...They are Osuper soft and comfortable and my rashes are gone forever."

From Loyalists to Zero Irritation Converts

“For very long time I was a true whisper girl. Couldn’t trust any brand for the quality at all! On a cousin’s suggestion tried Nua once and I’ve never gone back to any other brand. No period rashes at all!”

“Me, a sworn whisper girlie converted to Nua. Never going back.”

Divya Alfreda says, "Never try Nua. If you tried once then you can't move out of using it or can't think about changing to other brands.. the best ever product. Highly recomended..Thanks Nua."

Priyanka Sheth says, "One the best products I have come across, I choose Nua apart from all other products. Thanks Nua."

Cute packaging, big impact.

“I’ve been using Nua for a month now, and I just want to say a big thank you! … Plus, the packaging is so convenient to carry around. I’m genuinely impressed and grateful!”

Nua knows aesthetics – and practicality – matter. Not because it’s trendy, but because how a product looks and feels adds to your experience. Nua pads come in sleek, disposable covers that make them easy to carry, stash, and even hygienically throw out once used. It’s period care that doesn’t scream “emergency” – and doesn’t leave you with one when a rubbish bin isn’t present.

Rash-free, leak-free, stress-free — finally.

“I switched to your brand last month and the experience was so beyond amazing ! I was using some other brands and there was always leakage or discomfort of some sort ! I’ve been telling my friends about your brand ! Quality and rash free periods are guaranteed with your pads !”

Nua believes that periods shouldn’t feel like a punishment. That’s why the team obsesses over the details — the materials, the absorbency, the breathability, the experience from opening the pack to throwing out the product — so you don’t have to. Period care should be invisible when you want it to be, and powerful when you need it most.

If you’re tired of the old pad problems, maybe it’s time to do what all these women did: Switch. Feel the difference. And never look back.
