Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

I love love LOVE these!!! I used to always say how I wanted someone to create reusable pads and they did it! The quality is AMAZING, everything about these is 100% the BEST! I used to use always thin pads do it took a second to get used to but girl you NEED these, no need to second guess your decision. This is your sign to get them! TMI but I have a more so medium flow and it catches it all. I love them. Even told my Tiktok followers about them that’s how much I love them and know you would too.

I did purchase a second set so I wasn't doing laundry so frequently.
I have only had them for 6 or 7 weeks so I can't write about their longevity.
I am pleased with this purchase.

For my own comfort i change these pads about every 3 an a half hours other wise you feel ... swamp like down below. I could see this product being inconvenient for the busy working an out & about woman.

I decided to try these, to cut back on waste. I am in my 30s, have birthed 3 large babies, don’t love using tampons anymore because they’re uncomfortable, and I’ve never been thrilled with tampons in general. Pads don’t thrill me either, especially all the waste and cost. These reusable pads really impress me. They are more work than disposable, of course, but worth it. They are well made, they have stayed in place for me. They have two places to button, for a looser fit or tighter which is nice to have that choice. I am truly impressed with how much they can absorb, and in my opinion they are less messy than disposable. With disposable, blood seems to sit on top of the pad, you end up with blood from front to back, they tend to leak. I have not experienced leaking or messiness with these, however, they are much thicker than disposable, feels a bit like wearing a diaper, would not be able to wear with something tight like leggings but not too noticeable when wearing jeans. These do not absorb or mask odor at all, so I tend to change them quite often just for that fact. Overall I am very impressed with these and would recommend them to anyone who maybe wants to cut back on waste and cost, and someone who is willing to put in the work. Takes a lot of thought, gotta prepare ahead of time if you’re going to work wearing these or going out for a bit. You’ll want to bring extra pads, bring the “wet bag” that comes with the pads (which is awesome)...I also bring a washcloth if I’m going to be somewhere like work, so I can wipe down after changing my pad (usually halfway though a work day). Gave it one less star for comfort because they are bulky as I mentioned. Great product overall.

When I first got my cloth pads, I thought they were a bit small. They were a touch smaller than the smallest pads in a different set I bought. However, I was buying these mostly for pantyliners anyway, so it was fine. Also, the double-snaps are awesome (I tend to wear these with thongs, so the extra snap helps them "fit" better).
All considered, I'm very happy with my purchase! They're way more comfortable than traditional plastic-y pads (as is typical with cloth pads, in my experience) and I'm always surprised at how absorbent they are when used during my period. Despite the small size, I find they're great as back up to my menstrual cup and could even wear them exclusively on a heavy day if I wanted. Mind you, what constitutes a "heavy day" can be subjective, so judge based on what YOUR heavy days are like (maybe you need these, or maybe a longer/wider set and an extra carrying bag to keep spares on hand and have a place for the dirty ones on those days). Personally, I'll be cold-rinsing before a soapy-wash, thinking my day must've been super-light, and am regularly surprised at how much my "clothie" was holding (without a leak)!
If you're thinking about "going cloth", I doubt you'll regret it. If you buy this particular set, I doubt you'll regret it. Plus, going cloth (while an upfront investment) will save you much more over the years compared to buying box after box of disposable lady gear. And, leads to less landfill waste. It's a win-win-win in my book!

I use these for moderate incontinence. Besides saving money they are less irritating than paper pads.
Kathy B.
Even if you prefer other period products, these are great to keep at home in case you happen to run out of tampons, or even as a backup (great for overnight!). I'll probably be buying another set.
Elliskop99
They came out perfectly clean and still absorbent. I have been using these for about 3 years now and they look almost as good as the day I got them.
Tara Kay
I'm trying to use reusable products more for my periods. I have other products, but none have worked as well as these. I wore one on a very heavy day and it didn't feel heavy or uncomfortable at all. I could barely tell I bled in it at all.
The slide and fold in your underwear slightly, but nothing that causes any issues for me, so far.
I love these pads so much. Highly recommend!
Saspa
I was afraid I’d reached peak crunchy hippie with this purchase but honestly it’s a much better experience each month. I can actually work out in these pads unlike disposables without chaffing. Went on a 3 mile hike and was actually comfortable the whole time. Never would have been able to in disposable pads. If you’re at all squeamish these are better because the disposables make the flow seem much worse than it is. The dark gray absorbent cloth hides it well. After a couple cycles with these I do strongly recommend hand scrubbing these in the sink first then machine washing. I don’t feel like the washing machine gets them clean enough otherwise. But I’m fine with that. Might seem gross but. Frankly it’s really easy to hand wash in the shower each night. I normally go through several disposable pads each day but only need one cloth pad per day AND night. Really wish I’d switched a million years ago. Can’t sing the praises enough. One thing I’ll warn about though is if you are used to really thin pads the long over night ones do show up through your pants if you are wearing thin yoga pants. Just dress accordingly.
grace
so comfortable and absorbent - you definitely don’t need to worry about ANY leaking and you can’t even tell there is anything in there. i’m SO happy i made the switch
Kaitlyn
I've gotten some pretty decent reusable pads in the past. I prefer the ones with 2 snaps on 1 said so I can use them on different style underwear. These are slightly longer and thicker than the ones I use on the daily so I use them on my heavier cycle days. They absorb with no issues and are comfortable to wear for long periods if it's a lighter day.
Only downside: if you're a heavier women, with the thickness of these pads, it makes you sweat a bit.
Tommy Z.
I bought a pack of the medium and one of the long. I've got them in the wash now, haven't even worn them, but I'm already impressed by the quality. The black microfiber feels super soft, the rest of the cloth feels almost like a wet bag or beach bag material (which gives me high hopes for no leaks), and the snaps feel really solid and secure. The quality overall exceeded expectations!
I wear panty liners every single day and I'm thrilled to find a more eco friendly alternative. I'm planning to use the medium for daily wear, and the longs for "shark week". Literally can't wait to try these. At this price point, if you're on the fence, I'd definitely recommend just taking the plunge and buying a pack to try.
Update: Currently on my first cycle with these! And I'm super impressed with the absorbancey of these eco pads. Even on my heaviest days, they look like I just put one on at the end of day (until I start rinsing it out). I'm a bigger person, and the longs are just the right size. I'm also non binary, and part of the reason I ordered was because the gray and white pack are some of the only "gender neutral" Eco pads I've ever seen. All around, these pads are pretty much perfect for my needs. And I highly recommend them!
Raquel
These reusable pads are great! I was unsure about them at first but had been thinking to try reusable pads for a while. I wanted to wait till I had used them a few times to write a review. They are very absorbent and great quality. I have not had one leak since using them. Which would happen often with other disposable pads no matter what I did or tried. They are very comfortable and stay really dry considering they can hold a lot. I have had to go past recommended time and still no leaks! Cleaning is easy just rinse them until water runs clean and wash like normal clothes. I will say they need to be worn with fitting/full coverage underwear. I had no issues with them moving around. I used the medium size at first and found them to be perfect even on heavy days. I invested in the small/panty liner size as well. Happy to have purchased. No longer have to be frustrated with disposable pads and leakage. Will most likely be investing in more.
Hope M.
All in all, a great product!

I bought these well over a year ago and I still love them. They aren't stained, they rinse and wash great. I love the wet bag.
I mainly use a menstrual cup. These are perfect for days I'm expecting my period, as backup for my cup, and on my light days that I want to stop using my cup. I keep my cup at home, and one of these in my purse for any surprises during the month. They're super cute when folded up and make no noise when changing in the bathroom and they aren't recognizable as pads. Not that anyone should be embarrassed to be menstruating, but they are discrete.
I've never tried to use them alone, because I get horrible cramps without a menstrual cup on day 2/3. But I haven't had to buy any disposable feminine products in a year and a half, so that's amazing.
Monique
I wasn't sure what size to get, so I ordered both medium and large. In the photos, I compared them to an always ultra thin long with wings. The Large is the same length, the medium is shorter. I'm a plus size woman with a light flow, but I didn't feel like the long was quite long enough. The mediums will be returned.
I've used cloth pads for about 4 years, but I've been using charcoal & bamboo cloth diaper inserts. They are long and wide, and HOT. It's summer, so I thought I'd take a look to see if there's any lighter cloth pads out there to make things more comfortable. Things sure have changed! Cloth pads are more available and much more affordable now. Compared to diaper liners, I feel like these are definitely more narrow and not as long. These are less bulky for sure and not as hot. They are staying in place well with the smooth micro mesh underwear, so I'd expect them to stay put on cotton. I'd avoided buying light colored ones worried that they'd stain, but the design is on the back side, not the absorbant side.
Maryori
I really liked this pads. I been using them for about two months and i gotta say they do work great. Let me start by saying, i have heavy flows the first two days. And when i say heavy i mean HEAVY. And this pads have hold the blood with no problem. Of course they are meant for a regular flow but i wanted to put them to the test and they did past the test. They are great. I washed them with Jabonzote(mexican bar soap) i wash them by hand everysingle time. I Do NOT use any softener, i heard that makes them lose the absonvency, so be aware. I also Have them in large and they work excellent too. I use the large (or long ) ones at night to sleep. I hope this review helps someone that wants to know if this pads actually work. As for comfort you do feel the pads and would never be as thin as the single-use ones but i dont mind them at all. I wore jeans and my husband said that they are not noticeable at all. This is a great way to reduce the waste that we make by using the single-use ones.

I took out the stitches to see what they are made of, and it appears the top is fleece and the inside is 2 layers of microfiber. Exactly what kinds, I don't know. I gave them a good test during a heavy flow to see how much they hold and what they do when full. I was impressed to find they held an average of about 33 grams before leaking! (I weighed the pads before and after, with a postal scale.) The point of failure was the seam where the absorbent part is sewn onto the PUL. The liquid leaked through the stitching... but at least the pad folds around to snap in that area, so even though the under clothing was soiled, the outer clothes were still protected. (Just to compare, I found a regular size disposable maxi pad holds barely 20 grams at the point it would start to leak.)
They were comfortable to wear. When soaked, they sure took a long time to rinse out! But after rinsing and then soaking (in clean water each day), they came out perfectly clean after laundering.
I also bought Small pads, but they tended to slide backward easily and needed readjusting. I didn't have this problem with the Mediums, perhaps because of the greater surface area.
Bobby
I was nervous about trying these, but now it's been three months and it is safe to say I will be using these until the end of time.
They absorb great. In 3 cycles I haven't had any leaks, there is virtually no smell, and they hold up in the washer.
Because they snap around your panties they can move front to back as you move (so no need for incredibly long or bulky pads), and there is zero damage to your panties - which is nice because with no leaks I am confident enough to wear pretty panties even during my period.
I have an incredibly heavy flow the first day and night of my cycle, (thanks, PCOS) but these have no problem keeping up. I usually use 2 the first day and 1 each night, so it's great having the wetbag to hold a few until I'm ready to throw them in a delicates bag and toss them in the wash.
Wash, air dry, and voila; back to like new.
I highly recommend these to all of my friends.
Melissa
I ordered these as backup for my cup. The designs are very cute, thought the paisley is my favorite. They are very soft and comfortable. They stay in place well with cotton underwear, and I haven't experienced any unpleasant warmth that others have mentioned. The package comes with six which for the price is excellent. The bonus bag is very convenient and helpful. In case you are torn between size, small would be all you need as a back up item. I had ordered medium just in case, and as an experiment, I poured 15ml of water on them with a syringe in the same place to see how absorbent they were before trying. Impressed would be an understatement. Not only did it get absorbed right away, but within a minute, you couldn't feel any moisture at all. It would help for people who haven't done any research if they came with washing instructions. They are very easy to wash. Just like with any other, rinse them out with cold water, put them in a bag for delicates with a load of laundry on cold cycle, then hang dry or tumble dry low still in the bag. I highly recommend, they are well made, comfortable, cute, and their absorbency and ability to stay dry is very impressive!
Celeste Smith
I have to say I'm very impressed by this product. I have used cloth diapers on my baby so I'm use to a little awkward mess when using re usable products but overall I'm so impressed by these. I found them extremely comfortable. No weird factory smell or any other smell after use. I used in conjunction with my diva cup at times but not always and never had a leak issue. I wear scrub pants at work and did find the pad shifted backwards at times so I had to adjust a little but with tighter pants like leggings there was no shifting. The pads are slim and I hardly noticed them. I wish I had thought about purchasing them sooner as I use to have a lot of irritation just from a pad. And for some reason my girlfriend said 'arent you worried about a smell?'... These hide any smell way better than a regular pad. Once you rinse them out you will be amazed at what they held all day! I wash them out well in the sink and then just throw them in with the laundry. So far no problem but only one use/wash.
Student of history
First time using reusable pads let me tell you I was shock and impress on how much they hold!!!! They are very comfortable and they do not move around like some other women have experience truth be told it depends on what type of material your underwear are made out of. ALL my period underwear are scratch material so that plays a big role. TMI On day two of my cycle I’m a heavy bleeder I change these pads every 4 hours like I do my always size 3 pads & I tell you NO LEAKS, I mean who wanna be embarrass at work. I’m never going back to reusable pads again

I use these daily as a panty liner. They work and I’m not filling landfills with disposables anymore. They swish and wring out then dry fast so taking them camping or traveling is a space saver in luggage. I have both long and mediums but I find the medium length more comfie. Also, the longer ones might show from the rear unless you have a big rear. There are two snaps to adjust the width. You can always put a thin disposable underneath the pad if the day will be long between being able to change and you need absolute confidence. Never put a disposable onto the pad as the glue strip will stick to the fluffy soft bamboo material. But my days of buying disposables are over. I trust these as a safe pee pad that feels dry and comfortable. I like the pretty patterns and don’t feel shy about snapping them to a branch or clothesline to dry when camping. I like how they snap up into a little square to put discreetly in your pocket or purse when fresh or used. Even if the pad gets wet and you can’t change, you can dab it with toilet paper and get it dry enough to go on.

I had this item in my watchlist for >1 year but was skeptical and hesitant. Finally bought it now when the weather gets hot and my "diaper rash" is back from the plastic disposable pads and heat. It did not look appealing at first with such thickness.
Chelsea Stephens
I have worn pads everyday for Lite incontinence. I developed an allergy to pads, and had to switch to reusable cloth pads. They take a little getting used to, but they are comfortable and work as intended. They absorb well. I never feel dampness.
I bought medium and large and find I prefer the medium size. They wash & dry nicely. I gave the large pads to a friend who is quite a bit "fluffier" than me. They work great for her. I will order another set of mediums for myself
STW
THESE ARE SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN DISPOSABLE PADS. I literally cannot even describe how much more comfortable these are, and no terrible, “opening-a-bag-of-chips-in-the-stall” sounds either. These move just a little more because they aren’t adhesive, but very easy to adjust as well, and button up into a little envelope to keep a spare in your bag. Washes great, absolutely no leaks, I’ve been using mine for about a year and they’re still just like new with only a little bit of staining. I rinse them well in the sink and then wash them with the rest of my clothes.
mediocrenerd
I'm looking at buying a few more.
N.J. W.
After almost 2 years, they are still in excellent condition, so I imagine they will last many more years to come. I'm considering getting their lighter set for my lighter days, but for now these have served me well!
Hannah Elliott
I got the big ones because, tmi, I am a heavy flow kinda lady.
Story
I machine wash and dry regularly in dryer and these show no sign of shrinking or wear after 4 months of daily wear so I highly recommend these and am checking into donating them to local food bank for their Love for Ladies program instead of regular disposable pads.
Pavithra Shivakumar
Highly recommend for anyone with a heavy flow (or prefers just pads)
A
These pads are super absorbent and very soft. The inner lining feels like soft fleece which I thought would be irritating.
Caily
The first time I wore them, I thought I had stopped bleeding. When I took out the pad to wash, that is when I realized how much it has absorbed.
jessica jones
So much more comfortable than disposable pads and easy to maintain!
Jai
So for my first period with these they are working quite well! It’s a little bulky feeling in the butt area but it’s comfortable
coffeelover
I seriously cannot recommend these more then 5 star! In general not using disposable products does wonders for your both and the earth but these are so nice! They let your body naturally do what it's supposed to do for your period. They fold up into a square and snap closed once you're done using it, in case you're at work,school,traveling and can't wash it out when you've changed out. I loved my first set so much after a year I'm still using them and bought myself another set so I have plenty to get through my period. I just rinse them in cold water first then in hot water, air dry and then toss in with laundry when I do it. I really wish someone had introduced me to these as a teenager when I first started my period. These alone work wonderful for my flow but they could also be used with the cup for added protection if your flow is heavy.
Brinken
This product is well made, well designed and easy to use, clean and reuse. Cute too.
AmberMoon86
My favorite reusable pads I have used so far. The other products I have used are Thinx period underwear and Glad Rags.
This set is very portable friendly. I used it while visiting family out of town, and it was nice having a little bag to place them in once used. I also enjoy how they can be folded and button closed while storing. No smells are lingering on the products and are easy to clean. There has been only one or two that I have stained on the inside outside of the grey liner, but it did not go through to the other side. The absorbancy in these are quite nice for medium flows (I'm always surprised sometimes how much it can handle, I've used it on heavier flow days when I know I am home and able to switch out easily).
Heartsong1976
These are really cute! They are soft and fit panties well, which was my main concern. I will be using them at night. Only used once so far, on heaviest flow day. My heavy flow is probably most ladies normal flow So I won't speak on absorbency for heavy flows, but these absolutely work great for me! I don't like the shifting of a disposable pad at night and these completely solve that problem. They snap closed, so I will no longer deal with the torture of the sticky wings on a disposable pad! Comfort was my #1 in this purchase and these exceed my expectations. For those wanting to wear these during the day, they will work fine with jeans, absolutely not leggings or thinner pants. I will be purchasing again!
KLR
I have been using reusable pads for a couple years now. The only other thing I've tried is Glad Rags, which were not available for delivery any time soon when I decided to order more to replace ones that I lost. When I first got these, I was worried that they were too thin and wouldn't be absorbent enough. On my heaviest days, I need 3 inserts with the Glad Rags and it's barely enough. These do not use inserts and the pad is pretty thin. Surprisingly, one of these pads was sufficient to get me through my heaviest day with no leaking or heed to replace the pad. Because it's thin, it's comfortable enough that I barely notice it's there. I did have a little trouble with the snap coming undone one day, but I was wearing a skirt and I kept sitting on my feet, so I think that was the problem.
amashopper
Highly recommended for moderate urinary incontinence
Tenshinekogirl
If I could give this 10 stars I would. I love them so much. I can wear one for 6 hours and not worry about leakage(I have a light to medium flow). They clean super easy I just through them right in the washer and they good to go. Staining is next to nothing on the more white pattern. Comfort is great I don't even notices them( I am was used to wearing pads before I got these). I don't use the bag they came with so not sure now it is. With these and peirod underwear I have not bought any products in months. I can not even tell you how much money and time I have saved with this product. Get them!
Vixen
I have ordered 4 sets now. They are great. I have them in all different sizes. Plus you save more money in the long run. Just wash and dry or hang dry on a hot day and your done. Dont use bleach. Use hydrogen peroxide it wont eat at the material. Mine never had a smell. I known some women that had been using reusable pads for over 10 yrs and never go back. I dont use the sticky tape some people do . That is up to you. Just like a throw away pad you can change your pad 1x a day or multiple times. But least you change and wash it and reuse it. The cute prints go towards the underwear and grey goes up towards your skin. Always wash them first.
Lolly Ramos
I hardly ever write reviews but this deserves it. I work out and I live in an extremely hot and humid climate these reusable pads did so much more for me than the regular store-bought. I am 50 years old and I’ve had my period since I was 8 I am sensitive to many detergents and many products for a while I switched to Rael brand pads and the itch went away. I live in a Third World country we see trash everywhere and knowing I’m contributing to my period diaper was just too much guilt to bear. So never again will I use a regular pad thank you for finally making these. Even with the first couple of days of heavy flow I do not feel that I need to change as often as I used to with a conventional pad. I ordered a large and its great for sleeping too. I am ordering 30 more sets for all of my employees I agree they want to save money but mainly be more conscious of their choices when it comes to the environment.
L. Slade
I have had heavy periods since I was 13 and have always had to use either Ultra/ Super Ultra tampons or overnight pads because of this, and I would go through quite of few of those within a day. I wanted to find something that was more comfortable, cost effective, and had higher absorbency.
Meg
I bought these in March of 2022 so I have had these for a year and half now and let me say these work AMAZING!! I decided to wait and actually use these reusable pads before I gave an honest review and it just hit me that I haven’t reviewed these yet and I didn’t realize it’s been a year. I am a heavy bleeder and I have PCOS so I either bleed very lightly or very very heavily every month and these can really hold out on my heavy cycles. I haven’t bought pads since I used these because I really wanted to see if it worth replacing pads because of how much I go through in my heavy cycles and they work better than the overnight pads I get. I am also a plus size girl and they stay on while I’m working and while I’m sleeping of course they don’t prevent me from getting stained us woman know not everything is 100% but I really enjoyed these and haven’t went back to regular pads since.
I wash these with my regular clothes and the plastic press on button I want to say hasn’t moved at all and I constantly take them on and off to wash and reuse. I have 8 total and they feel as though I just purchased them. Definitely recommend buying these if your looking at reviews!
inkedwingz
I bought two sets of these reusable pads; one for myself and one for my teenage daughter. We had different experiences and I will relate both to you, but the five star rating is based solely on my own experience with the pads.
Brandie B
I will buy again. I love the shape and how long they are. I had bought another brand before buying these, theirs had just a panty liner like strip. Theirs; narrow strip, didn't have enough coverage in the back, always had to wear a liner at the back where it ended, didn't wash well-came out stiff for some unknown reason. Yours; wash great, great on coverage, cool designs/patterns, comfortable, hold a lot, great shape, don't have to wear an extra liner.
Tara Maginnis
I was absolutely skeptical of a mass produced option. But after having issues with intimate chafing from single use brand name items I finally chose to order. I'm 2 cycles in and this makes that suck just a bit less. These are well crafted, extremely comfortable, wonderfully absorbent, and rinse/wash beyond expectation. I can't believe how much quality of comfort a simple change gave me. I was pleased that my body type wasn't fighting with it shifting (day or night) as others have reviewed.
Daisy
I ordered a couple more sets in other sizes and am now liberated 95% off disposables.
Marsha Conard
While parts of the pads are not “natural” materials (so they won’t leak) the parts you have contact with are completely comfortable, absorbent, bamboo based and easy to clean.
Sam P.
My friend ordered these for me off of my baby registry. I have always had issues with irritaion with any pad these are the softest and most comfortable pads ever easy to clean just rinse if out in public the store in wet bag until get home to wash in washer. I LOVED these so much I order a second set. Absolutely gonna recommend to friends then in future will order more. They are super absorbing.
Jennifer Flores
the girls love them
Silly Girl
I used pads ever since I got my first cycle. I used to think cloth pads were ineffective and didn't understand why they were used.
Thank you seller!!
Laurell N
I love love love my reusable pads. My teen daughter and I have our own sets. I purchased small bowls that have wash boards in them to keep in the shower so that we can rinse by hand between washes so they don't sit in the hamper, they could but I'd rather rinse and let dry in the tub before putting them in the hamper. Easy to use, comfortable, reliable and REUSABLE!!!!! I hate throwing one use stuff away. I have cloth napkins, cloth cleaning rags, reusable mop heads, I purchased 2 sets of dinning plates, utensils to get away from paper plates. I wash my shower curtains and liners, we have way less garbage and I don't feel like I'm throwing my money away. Now TP will NEVER EVER BE a reusable item, I'm not that committed.
Kaylin baker
These are soft, and so absorbent. I can't wear disposable pads anymore because they are irritating to my skin. These do the job of an overweight Always. They also but period panties to same. I have pairs from multiple brands and these hold more than their highest capacity. Love them, will buy more when needed.
Cleopatra67
I had never used this type product & I liked it so much I ordered another set!
Joannicea Williams
Good for a medium flow
Jaime Foster
I love these. I was worried that they/I would get hot since the lining is made of a fleece type of material but I was wrong. SOOOO much better comfort wise than regular pads, I can barely tell I’m wearing them.
BoNe
Got these for my teen. She loves them. Way better than disposable. Easy to wash, and care for. Work well, no leaks
Ashley
These are so soft and feel so comfortable when wearing them. I don’t feel like they are pulling or crinkling up like regular pads do. So gentle it feels like I just have on soft panties. They do move or slide a small bit but not enough to really disturb anything or change their purpose. I am a plus size women and these work perfect for me. I use all ranges of the sizes for the different levels I go through.
This is not what I believe it’s intended for but truly helps here to. I’m over forty and sometimes when I have to pee it hits me fast and a few drips come out just a little bit right as I’m getting to the toilet and these pads catch that too.
Let’s be real we are women and have issues that we all could use a little extra help with and these do just that!
Mommy2StarfireElise
I've finally decided to review after a 3rd period with these. I use the super long pads in conjunction with a period panty I bought online, and I'm super impressed.
Courtney E.
I tried these because I was feeling bad about all the waste created with menstrual products. Cups were too uncomfortable for me but these are great. Way more comfortable against your skin. I was worried it would feel wet through the day but it doesn't. Stays in place really well, which surprised me, even when sleeping. It's all I use now unless I'm traveling.
Lulu
Okay- so, I don’t make reviews often but I LOVE THIS.
I have a light to medium flow so tampons are normally a no because pulling them out when I peed would feel like I’m ripping out my insides. I ABSOLUTELY HATE PADS because they felt wet and plasticky and diapery. Yuck.
THESE ARE SO FREAKING SOFT AND AMAZING. When I pull my pants back up because they’re not ready to change there’s no cold plasticky sticky feeling against my skin. I wear the big side in the front (I’m definitely a front bleeder the fupa struggle iykyk!) and politely tuck the smaller end between the cheeks (lol) [because my panties are all boyshort cheekies anyways] so I don’t have much movement at all. They’re warm and comfortable and so absorbent! Back when I wore regular pads I also stopped because of a strange smell that I never got with tampons (or just using toilet paper) AND THESE HAVE NO SMELL AT ALL. Like- none. I take good care of my body and vaginal health is important to me, the smell from pads really freaked me out- TURNS OUT PLASTIC PADS ARE JUST PH DESTROYERS I GUESS !! If you’re wanting to try these- do it! They’re cheap enough to be worth the risk- and in my case there has been ZERO CONS! Sleeping is also super comfy!!! No weird bunching or uncomfortable wetness or textures! They’re literally just so nice!

After 2 cycles I decided to write my review. I am pleasantly surprised by these and I had actually never heard of reusable pads before. Many might say it's gross but it is not more gross than any other menstrual product unfortunately. I have tried many different types..tampons- I can't even wear, disposable pads- feel like a diaper and sometimes they rip apart upon taking them off of your panties ewwww, disposable cups- they work but I hate putting my fingers up their trying to get it out, reusable cups- better hope your not in a public place and need to rinse it out before reinserting. Now these reusable pads are practically wiping out all those problems.. nothing to insert, or fall out, fall apart, throw away, no diaper feeling, and it comes with a baggie to put in if you need to change it out in public..no rinsing required. I do like that they have snaps instead of the adhesive and they stay in place for me. I think the trick here is to wear form fitting panties if you wear those baggy "grannies panties" you will lose the ability for the pad to stay close to your body like you want it to be anyway. I pair these with period panties to ensure I am protected from leaks which hasn't happened yet and I also wear them to sleep. At first I tried just hand washing them outright but that was taking a bit of effort. I don't know if it's because of the clotting or what but I learned that soaking them in warm water first helps speed up the process. I know you may be thinking how gross to hand wash period blood but it's actually not that bad. I imagine too that this is what people did before their were washing machines anyway. Honestly it's not much different from rinsing a chicken in the sink all bloody and whatnot.. I prefer to use something that's convenient, economical, environmental, and works. After I scrub them clean in a foldable bucket with laundry detergent I just rinse them and hang on my clothesline to dry. I want to buy more if I can find them a little longer in length.

I am a large lady, and these pads are great! They stay in place and are so comfy! They are very absorbent and can handle a heavy day. The dry bag is also great and discrete. I love the patterns because they bring a bit of fun to this time of the month.

These are great. I was a little skeptical at first but I honestly love these. They clean really well. I rinse really well in cold water then run them through the washer and dryer with everything else on normal tap cold setting. I won’t be changing back to the one time use ones.
I’m excited to use them this summer, I don’t think they will chafe as bad in the heat when I sweat. I have also noticed I don’t have as bad of cramps since switching. This was something I noticed when I changed to an all natural pad before this as well.
Definitely give them a try. They are cheap enough if they aren’t your thing you can at least know for sure.
My only complaint is I wish they had more pattern options in some more neutral/darker colors. I’m not really a fan of the patterns these come in. I lean to the more goth/emo aesthetic so these kind of hurt a little to see.

I bought these because I have been trying to find ways to not have to buy disposables anymore since it's becoming expensive. And honestly I have been only switching between two pads. I hand wash them leave it out to dry and alternate. I haven't really needed the other two. I think that aspect is Fantastic because it's less to carry and I have to more backups for just in case. Also I love that they feel just like ultrathin overnights which are what I'm used to wearing. It's like I never really switched my routine all too much. There's no smell or leeks. It's definitely worth the buy.

Soooo comfortable! I have wore them through the day and to sleep and they stay in place and I don’t even notice it really.
Cece
Don’t search anymore! These are the ones. Will be ordering more. Excellent for overnight

I am buying more pairs right away, and don't think I'll ever have to use disposables again thanks to these!

I've spent most of my 40s telling myself that I was "almost done with all that," ignoring the voice in my head that said it was time to Green Up my Period. And then I started looking at products, and for my 49th, I bought myself these to try. I waited a few weeks, and now here I am! I won't lie. It's ... weird ... to have a brand new kind of thing down there, after so many years. But I think I love these, and here are the reasons: 1. Love the size. (I am a messy menstruator, and one of these is big enough to cover me, leak-free front to back. Yay!) 2. Love the softness. They are so soft and non-irritating it kind of weirds me out. (Change is weird, right?) It took a bit for me to realize that they don't feel "weird," these pads. They feel GOOD. They feel so GOOD, soft and non-irritating, that it is WEIRD. (think about that for a sec, what we put up with) 3. And, yeah, love that totally washable aspect. Washed and dried them, and they and came out ... clean and soft, just like they went in. A couple of things I'm still not sure of: 1. I can't tell how heavy my flow is or when these are full. The top layer is so totally dry that ... it's totally dry. Even after a REALLY LONG TIME. (I'm embarrassed at how long I didn't change my pad, so I'm not telling how long it was.) Again, this is GOOD. 2. I do wish they came in packs of more than four. I think I'll be buying a second package. But the smaller package was good for a trial run. 3. They aren't "stuck" in so I have to trust they will stay in place. They stay in place just fine. Should you buy these? Well, you'll have to decide for yourself, but these seem to be a fine option if Green Menstruation is on your bucket list! I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. (And it makes me hope I have a bunch more years to use them.)

Why didn't I get these sooner? Do not wait! Super absorbent. I will NEVER buy another disposable pad or tampon again. I have a heavy flow and these didn't leak at all. I love the extra large size!
Mati hari
Love love love these....I would not hesitate on buying them.....I just use them for general purposes.
Ashley Stanfield
I really like these. They’re cute for starters ! Love the little bag that came with them. I have an autoimmune condition of the vulva… while organic pads do help they’re expensive.
LeTara M.
I've tried several cloth pad brands. These are the most comfortable yet. Soft against the skin, absorbent with great coverage. Definitely get these if you're in the fence.
Jenny
Loved this product, made well you will not feel wet

I was very skeptical about reusable pads, but they are very comfortable. They have been proven to lessen period lengths which I felt like it has some. They were easy to clean but didn't stay completely in place when snapped together.
Jane Garrett
I am a huge fan of cloth pads. They're a cheaper alternative to disposable pads and they are better on my body. I like that these are so big because I'm a big girl and my flow tends to be all over the place. I always wear a tampon or a sponge and use the pads as a backup. These pads absorb a lot. They are easy to clean. I usually will just rinse them out thoroughly with cold water and then toss them into my regular wash. I wash them with my towels. Sometimes I will hand wash them with a bar of some basic soap, cold water, and a little peroxide and let them air dry.
They are comfortable to wear and are a little less irritating on my skin than disposable pads. As I said earlier, they are cheaper in the long run. The price for these pads upfront is around $13-$15 but they last for years with proper care and I never have to worry about running out. For the sake of ease, I keep a few disposables in my purse for travel or when I'm going out in public for an extended period of time. I mostly work from home though, so I love cloth pads.
Alicia B
Love this product it really help reusable pads
are very comfortable
groundguy
I've only washed this set once so I can't speak on the longevity. Everything came out clean with no stains on the pattern side and they still feel just as soft and durable.
stephanie jones
These are the best reusable pads I have found. I have a really heavy flow because I'm perimenopausal and have fibroids and I have not had a leak with these even at night. They're also really comfortable and they are not as bulky as some of the other ones out there - these lay flat against you. They also wash really well. I ordered another set they're so good.
Brenda
I'm so glad I took a chance on buying them. They are so much better than disposable panty liners...very comfortable, I wear them everyday. So easy to wash, I just throw them in the washing machine and just lay them on a towel rack to air dry. They are very reasonably priced, I will definitely be buying more
Rebecca
SOOO we’re all trying to get into this new life and be healthier and save money. Yes buy them, I was terrified of wearing pads I always hated them. Once I turned 18 tampons were my go to. Well all toxins not worth it so I tried them. I bought a second pack. They were the first I tried and I enjoy them. I'm an extremely heavy bleeder day 2. They worked I buy them. Ladies worthnit

When the craziness of the lockdown happened and the grocery store shelves went bare I could not find any diapers...no this review is not about diapers, hang in there. In desperate need to diaper our baby, I ordered cloth reusable diapers and fell in love! The cloth diapers were easy to use and so much healthier for our little one. So I got to thinking, perhaps reusable pads for me would be a good thing too. I purchased these to wear overnight. I have only used them for one cycle, but WOW! I had no leaks. No leaks whatsoever! I have always had heavy periods, and I always leak when wearing the disposable overnight pads... always. These pads are actually a bit smaller and not nearly as thick as the disposable, so the first night I used them I was not expecting much. I was shocked when I woke in the morning to find a dry, clean bed beneath me. Then when I went to the bathroom I first thought that for some reason I was having a much lighter flow than normal, as I did not see much in the pad. I discovered that was due to the dark color, for when I was rinsing out the pad I quickly realized that my flow was heavy as normal, that the pad had absorb an amazing amount of liquid. Aside from the amazing absorbancy, it is super comfortable too. So much so, that despite the large size, I forgot a few times I was even wearing it. As far as cleaning goes, yes it takes a bit more effort than simply throwing a pad away, but it's not bad. Just make sure you wash as instructed! Cold water is key, same with the disposable diapers. If you are looking into switching from disposable to reusable I would say go for it, you will not be disappointed, you will only be questioning why you did not do so sooner!
Abbi
I don't understand all the reviews that are saying they don't absorb...are people wearing them upside-down? I have a VERY heavy flow. So much so that during the day I'm changing a disposable heavy pad every hour or two...its horrible! I bought these for nighttime because that's the worst for leaking and i haven't had a single leak. I didn't have to change it all night and had no issues. It is very absorbent and i love the fact that you can button it tighter or looser depending on your size/need. I just ordered the multi-pack from this brand as well so i can have them for lighter days as well. This is my new favorite brand. I have ordered 4 different brands and this has been the most comfortable and absorbent.

They catch between the legs a little when dropping pants but the keep me feeling cleaner than any other products ever did.
Brittany Clark
Absorbency is amazing on my lightest AND heaviest days, the PUL (bottom) layer, although shiny and smooth, does not slip or slide around, and I ways feel dry with these no matter my flow. These don't bunch and feel super soft on my skin. I never had leaks like with recent more expensive ones and it wasn't until last year that I noticed wear on one pad (a little bleed through) 4 years after I got them. I soak in cold water then rinse a few times with a tiny amount of mild detergent before tossing them in the washer. These are made very well like my first, the snaps are secure. I LOVE the prints and my carrying pouch is SO adorable!

I've been using these for 2 months now and after the first few days I knew that I could never go back to the disposable pads ever again unless it was my last resort. I've fallen in love with these pads and will absolutely be buying more. My periods at typically heavy the first few days and these pads act like its nothing. They adsorb so fast and so effective that its incomparable to the disposables. They're so comfortable that sometimes I forget that I'm waring one. Personally I like the wider side to go in the front then the back because when I'm on my period I bleed to the front then the back even while I sleep so I never have problems with the pad moving or becoming displaced through out the day. Also they are so easy to clean even after a few days of sitting a wet bag. To clean mine I will run the pad under cold water the rinse a lot of the blood out and then for the top layer ill use dawn and a soft tooth brush to pre clean the solid area then wash it in the washer on a cold cycle with my other clothes and it comes out perfect like the first day I received it in the mail.
Keri Dunlap
I love them! I tend to be really heavy, but I can wear one of these all day no issue!!! I've used these for about 2-3 months now I think and the only issue I've ever had is one day it slipped a little, but they have two snaps so you can adjust how tight it holds and that makes it less likely to slip down. It's extremely comfortable and very pretty, nothing leaks to the other side and you can't even see any blood on any of the fabric (unless you have like a clot or something of course). If there was anything on the surface I would simply just wipe it or dab it and then just put it back on and it felt fine! They're super soft and very easy to wash and maintain and to most people who I've talked to about it, they said it sounds gross, but it's really not! After I change mine, I put them in the shower and hold them by the larger end around the other part of the seam and set my shower head to the highest setting and rinse them out until the water runs clear, fold it in half and kinda ring it like a rag, then lay it out to dry and shove it in the next load of laundry! Never left any blood stain on anything. As someone who's trying to go more green and make less waste but who also loves to save money and reuse, these are amazing! Will probably definitely buy more in the future! 10/10
Ana
These have worked perfectly so far. Very pleased with them and would recommend over and over again!
They don't adhere to your underwear but have a snap with two sizes to choose from. They stay in place just fine.
Jess
I've tried cups and discs and everything to try to be more environmentally friendly, but nothing worked well enough for me. I kept having to buy pads anyway. So I decided to try these and got the larger ones so they'd work overnight. They are amazing. I don't even realize how much they absorb until I go to rinse them out (because blood, so I rinse with cold water even tho I'm sure I could toss them in the wash just fine without). It's not pretty. But it's really evident how absorbent these things are.
I'm happy my periods are gonna stop but if I have any issues, I'm keeping these. Same price as about a month's worth of supplies anyway and so much more effective. Just keep in mind they don't adhere to your underwear and position them intentionally.
But seriously. A+. They're great. I highly recommend.
Momo
I have a very heavy flow the first couple days, the pads are super absorbent. I was worried about leaking over but had no leaks. They are super easy to clean too. Saves so much money. I love this product. So happy I decided to buy this product.
Amber Sealy
TMI BUT…. As with everything I was hesitant to buy but when considering everything going on with the traditional pads and tampons I owed it to my yoni to atleast try something said to be more natural and I’m glad I did.
The absorbency is amazing. My cycle began a day before my delivery so I used my regular tampon for day one accompanied by my usual cramps and what I thought was heavy flow. Well once I received them and made the switch, I initially loved the softness, the comfort, the leak proof protection and was surprised that I no longer cramped or had the heavy flow I normally have with tampons. I love how the product is shaped for back coverage and long enough to cover everything. It stays in place and surprisingly does not become soaked to where you feel wet. No mess at night and I’m able to sleep comfortably. Now you do want to pair them with full coverage underwear but that’s sensible. I love these so much in purchasing for my family members self care Christmas baskets. Im also purchasing liners because i genuinely believe my detergents irritate me so I won’t be washing these or my linears with my detergents, im purchasing something gentler to hand wash them with. Thanks
dale mccain
They are super absorbent and comfortable.
These are a life saver and it doesn’t make me feel like I’m wearing a diaper it’s pretty discreet looking.
Heather Bales
Stood the test of a few periods! This last time I wir these during heavier flow days and the did great and they are so comfortable. To keep pads like this in place you either need tighter fitting underwear or double sided fashion tape (I rip the tape in halves sometimes if you only need it secured more in the front!)
Amie evans
great purchase!
Katrina Henne
This was my first time buying reusable pads. I have heard about the benefits and wanted to try them. My flow is on the heavier side so I got the extra large. I must say that they are comfortable and thick!
However, you forget that you’re wearing them on your lighter days. They hold so much liquid it’s amazing. When I hand wash them then put them in the wash with no fabric softener they smell really good afterwards. I always air dry them. Now I have to buy some smaller liners. Occasionally, I will use chlorine free organic cotton pads, but this is my go to. Not expensive either.
