Menstrual Pads

Just to be clear, I don't normally wear pads. This is my first reusable pad purchase and probably haven't used normal pads since middle school. They just felt dirty and uncomfortable to me. Lately, I have been slowly turning my lifestyle into natural, organic and reusable in regard to everything. I makes me upset that there is so much waste and not enough recycling and reusing in this world. I have begun using menstrual cups and in conjunction with them I have bought these to try as a back up in case I fail at the cup. I also intend on using them for light days at the end of my period. I, for one, am very happy to be contributing no feminine products to the landfills anymore. Goodbye tampons. Onto the product itself! At first glance, they are really well made! Very happy with the construction, softness and design on them. I got the bird design. I see no flaws in the stitching at all which is hard to come by these days. Good quality. The material that sits on your body is fleece and the outer design material seems to be some sort of cotton stretch possibly. It is nice and stretchy, snaps are on very well too. I had absolutely no problems with shifting, but I also wear really tight pants so that may have contributed I am not really sure. They do have two snaps for adjustability while attaching them to your underwear. I only used this once so far to test out the first day of wearing my cup incase I had any accidents while out. No leaks so I am not sure about the absorbency or how they hold up in those terms. The only issue I had was they were quite long ( I bought the medium) since I am using them more as a panty liner I will probably buy the size small and use these for what I intended for, the light days. I would assume someone using these as pads and not panty liners would do fine with the medium on regular flow days. Very comfortable against the body, no shifting, great construction....I really have no complaints about these. The prints are lovely, I will purchase my next size in the daisy print!

Not to be too graphic, as a plus-sized woman who normally uses a LOT of extra-jumbo-sized disposables to avoid leakage and uncomfortable sogginess, I wasn't sure how well these would work, and the upshot is I LOVE THEM! They're soft, comfortable, and once you get used to the feeling of real fabric between your legs, they're superabsorbent and wick everything away so effectively you forget it's even there until it's time to clean them... instead of using three or four disposables in a day, I only needed one and it still had plenty of absorbancy left at the end! Make sure you put them on the right way round - they are triangular for a reason. I put the first one on backwards because I thought it would absorb more, and spent the rest of the day putting it back into place because every time I started walking, it started migrating towards my bum! Eventually I realised this wasn't working and turned it around, and the problem was solved. The wider end of the triangle goes forwards and then your body movements press it more firmly into place instead of sliding it away... also, obviously, the grey fluffy lining goes towards your skin (I read somebody reviewing another pad and saying it didn't absorb anything at all, and I'm pretty sure they had it on upside down...) As for cleaning, unfortunately that's the unavoidably messy part. If you don't want to see the blood you can save them all up until the end of your period and put them in the washing machine and let it deal with the mess, but if you want to reuse them you have to wash them out by hand as you go along... somebody suggested doing the initial rinse in the shower and it worked well. I could clean the pad at the same time as I cleaned myself, then rinse it under the tap, wring it out thoroughly and hang it on the clothes horse to dry overnight. Then I machine-washed them at the end of my cycle before I put them away in the cute little fabric storage bag until next month. The bag will also come in handy if you're going to be out of the house for a very long time and you want to take a spare with you. It's made of the same leakproof fabric as the liners, so you can fold the used pad and tuck it away inside until you get home. Hand-washed pads took 12 hours to dry, the ones I put in the machine were dry in about 6 because the machine spin is much more thorough than I could ever manage myself. So, if you don't want to keep washing these, buy enough to last you! (if buying for the whole cycle, you do not need more than one pack of the overnight ones unless you have a super-heavy flow. They were far more pad than I needed after the first days and I reverted to my remaining stock of disposables until I can buy more.)

Good

It's so good but considered small. If you're wearing medium-large size, it not suitable for you.

It’s easy to wash after use. I like the size & ease of using this product. Does not move around while using.

En lo personal, me han funcionado. Las he usado por algunos meses y no he tenido derrames. Sin embargo, se mueven demasiado a comparación de otras toallas que he usado. He tenido que usar un segurito para sujetarla a la braga. Son delgaditas y muy suaves. Son fáciles de lavar.

Están bien hechas, pero en mi pantaleta quedan flojas, para mi gusto están anchas. Te la acomodas y funcionan, y quizá se noten un poco si traes ropa pegada, pero con vestido sin problema, por dejar de contaminar tanto es posible ajustarse.
