Rael Organic Cotton Cover Reusable Pads Thin Cloth Pads, Leak Free, Washing Machine Safe, Menstrual Pads with Wings (3 Count, Overnight)

I bought one pack of these in Feb 2018, and was really unsure as to how leak proof, bulky and comfortable they would be. At first go when I used them it was a little strange, they seemed massive compared to the usual pads that are on the market, (I had purchased the larger ones....great for night time though). I absolutely love them, and wished I had bought more, as when they were used up I had to go back and use the common pads, and it made me realise the difference. I use to think that it was the period that was the problem, when I use these I don't feeeel like I'm on my period (unless I'm having cramps). when I returned to the common pads I thought it made the flow smell, and realised its because of the amount of plastic in them, wearing these organic ones did not make my period smell at all. These pads are gentle on the thighs, so no chaffing, and no rustling sounds!!! I was worried about cleaning these too, and being too icky to handle, or staining, I have to say it has taken a little getting use to, but seriously it's worth it. After use I let cold water run over them in the sink for a good 3-4mins (longer if heavier flow), then I soak them in cold water overnight (a few at a time), and then wash them on 60 deg (white wash liquid, no conditioner), and air dry them - no stains, and yes they did shrink a tiny bit, but hardly enough to notice much difference - I bought the larger ones - okay you can't wear them with sexy underwear, but really what pads look great? I will buy some smaller ones for lighter days. Every time I use them I smile and feel that I am contributing to the environment and saving on more of these plastic pads ending up in the sea! A little effort for a huge gain without compromising on comfort - Thanks so much for a lovely product :D

The best reusable pads on the market, that I've found. Very comfortable. Easy to use. Just wish they came with a small bag to use when away from home. Brilliant for use at home though.

Very impressed! These will not disappoint. I admit before my first use I was apprehensive about how well these would hold a heavy flow and the squeamish task ahead of cleaning them out afterwards. I can honestly say I was worried for no reason at all. In fact, I found these to be a much better experience to wear and use than disposable sanitary pads as I used to go through multiple pads each day during my heavy menstrual flow and would always over flow over the sides and seep through my clothing. The guilt of disposing them knowing they are being dumped into landfills without decomposing which is harmful to our planet was eating away at my conscience. Another disadvantage of disposable sanitary pads is the smell after a short while of wearing it. A huge bonus is these leave no stale blood smell due to the fact of the organic cotton so all natural fibers which means no smell. What's not to love!? I am already a huge fan of these now! The reason I only gave a 4 star is because of the cost and you only receive 3 pads which I think is overpriced. Really would have liked to have received 7 pads to keep me going on my menstrual week. Also a cotton storage bag to store them in would have been a nice idea. Overall highly recommend!!!

I am a heavy bleeder and thought this would cover me on day 1-2 of my period but it leaked though. You can’t fasten them closed when they’ve been used either. They are very soft and comfy though so I’ll wear them mid-week.

Very expensive experiment, was very glad I was at home during the trial.First of all, these pads feel wonderful and lightweight at first. I felt the material was breathable and cooler than disposable 'Always' pads. The issue I had with these was the lack of adhesive (as you can imagine that wouldn't work with reusable pads). Once placed inside the panties it moved and slipped about giving very little protection. Furthermore to my horror, I found my pads leaked as well.Needless to say I wish I could return these but for obvious reasons I do not feel comfortable doing so.Perhaps for lighter flows it could be managed but one would have to apply some double sided adhesive to keep it place if you move about.It sadly didn't work out very well for me. Thumbs down.
