Coated Paper Wings
What is Coated Paper Wings?
Coated Paper Wings are a unique material typically used in the context of feminine care products. Made by treating paper with a coating or laminate, they increase the durability and functionality of the product.
They are primarily utilized for structural purposes, adding shape and stability to products. There is limited information about any direct health impact since they are not ingested, but if used as protective linings or supports, they should be safe for external use. No specific health risks or benefits have been strongly associated with this material in the current literature.
Commonly found in: feminine care products
Currently, there are no specific FDA warnings or restrictions on coated paper materials used in personal care.
There is a lack of peer-reviewed research focusing specifically on Coated Paper Wings in terms of health implications.
As they are made from paper and coatings, this ingredient is typically not animal-derived and is considered vegan-friendly.

Scout's take
Wing material is coated paper — a more natural choice than the plastic wing wraps used in many conventional liners. The coating is likely a thin moisture barrier. A small detail that reflects Rael's effort to reduce unnecessary plastic.
