Reusable Menstrual Pads, Bamboo Cloth Pads for Heavy Flow with Wet Bag, Large Sanitary Pad Set with Wings for Women, Washable Overnight Cloth Panty Liners Period Pad (7 in 1, 25.4cm 4 Layers)

So I’m just gonna go through what I’ve done these last couple of periods that I’ve had and what my experience has been.So these past few years I’ve been using a menstrual cup with disposable pads just in case the cup leaks, or there’s times where I just don’t want to use my cup so I’ve used pads instead. So I’ve been wanting to try these for awhile to go the full reusable route, and also figured they’d be less toxic.Absorbency:Personally I think they absorb the same, if not better than a regular sized disposable pad. Of course if you have a heavier flow you’ll need to buy something thicker (which would NOT be discreet bc you can see these under your pants so just be aware of that) but for me these last couple periods I haven’t used my cup to give these a fair chance, and they’ve worked just fine. Disclaimer, these last couple periods also haven’t seemed as heavy? I’m not sure if there’s a correlation or if it’s been the same and since the absorbency is so different it seems less heavy but idk. Each pad lasted me the whole day, and really could’ve went longer but changed them for sanitary reasons.Washing:I usually do laundry a couple times a week, so I used them up until I did laundry and then if I was still on my period I just let them air dry and keep going. After each change I rinsed them with cold water until the water was clear. If the thought of touching blood and rinsing out the pad bothers you then I wouldn’t suggest these obviously, but I’ve gotten used to it from using a cup for a few years.After rinsing the pad with cold water, let it air dry or put it into the washer straight away depending on when you’re doing laundry, machine wash cold and then air dry. I do not have a mesh bag to put them in to keep them together while in the washer, but that is a purchase for later. But they’ve done just fine without one so far.I also have not had a single stain, which has been the most impressive part to me. So they come clean super super easily.Movement:The pad moving around can definitely be a problem. For me I wear spandex shorts under my pants, and that worked just fine for keeping it put for the most part. If you toss and turn in your sleep I would suggest getting a thicker set of pads or tight underwear/shorts bc it would definitely move if you’re a tosser. However I do kind of like being able to adjust it easier and move it around if I don’t like how it’s feeling, and since it’s just a button to remove it you don’t have to deal with any sticky bits wanting to stay on your underwear.For those worried about how comfy they are, you can tell you’re wearing one but to me they’re better than a disposable pad. I’m not sure how they compare to other reusable pads because these are the first I’ve tried, but they’re not too hot (less hot than disposable ones) and they absorb sweat and discharge a lot better as well.I would drop a star because the bag that comes with the pads is not big enough to hold all of them, but that really isn’t a big issue for me so I’m keeping it at 5 stars. But if you would like for the bag to fit all of them, it doesn’t. But all in all I would recommend these for someone looking to try reusable pads, at least as a starter set because I will update if these start to fall apart early (which is why I would like and would recommend a mesh bag to wash them in, so just keep that in mind).

I happened upon these looking for something else. I guess I am old because I have never heard of such a thing. I immediately called my daughter to tell her what I had found and she said that she had used them for swimming for a long time. Well, I felt like I was being left out of some pretty important information. First let me explain. I don't have a monthly cycle anymore, however I do have some bladder leakage, that happens, when I sneeze, cough, laugh, walk, talk, or blink. Its difficult, but I am sure there are a few of you ladies who can understand what I am saying. Well, I have been using pantyliner's for years, which are uncomfortable and expensive. I almost blacked out with excitement when I saw these and of course I ordered them immediately. They arrived a day earlier than expected (which I felt was a good sign). The package was nice and the product came just as expected. I couldn't wait to wash them and give it a go. So, here is what I think about these. They fit great in my underwear and the wings with the snap are great. They are somewhat bulky, but not overly so. I felt that there was some odor after wearing them all day, but it was very faint. They are soft against my skin and so far they seem to be very absorbent, which is like life or death. My main issues are at night when I am sleeping, (unless I have a sneezing fit) but I didn't have any problems wearing these at night and no leakage at all. I am going on a two week European vacation and haven't decided if these will go with me or not, since washing items isn't going to be easy like if I was home. However, I will be wearing these from now on. For all you ladies who have either menstrual cycles or bladder leakage, I personally would recommend you give them a try. I am so tired of paper and plastic against my skin and of course the expense and embarrassment of having bladder leakage liners in your shopping cart.

I must say, I really love these reusable pads. These have made my periods lighter and shorter. The chemicals in the disposable pads I was using was making me sick, and I had very bad cramps and heavy periods for the longest time. I'm glad I bought these and I'll buy more when need be. I'm so grateful that these are at a reasonable price. Thank you so much!💗

Good value. Worked great. Just have to figure out how to get them not to slide around, that’s the only downside. Very soft and washed up easily.

Great for those with allergies to the chemical foams in disposable pee pads. Wash up very nicely and so far, have not bunched the cloth. Soft. I was worried about the snap being uncomfortable, but it is not at all. I like that they are economically smart and reusable. Not sure how they would be for menstruation.
