Presteril is a historical Italian brand of pharmaceutical products specializing in wound care and female hygiene. It is owned by Corman S.p.A., a second-generation family-owned company founded in 1947 and headquartered in Milan, Italy.
Brand Focus and Philosophy
The brand operates under a philosophy of “Pure Protection,” focusing on products made from high-quality, natural materials. Since launching its first line of 100% cotton pads in 1993, Presteril has emphasized hypoallergenicity and environmental sustainability.
Materials:
Presteril products are primarily made from 100% pure cotton (both inside and out), which ensures high skin tolerance and breathability while reducing the risk of irritation.
Sustainability:
Because they are made of natural fibers, Presteril Lady products are biodegradable and compostable, often decomposing within a few months.
