Love the color and the texture of the cover.
bought as a gift for a friend who is struggling after hip replacement surgery. She seems very happy with it.
I’ve only gotten to use the interlabial pads twice so far but they worked really good both times, no leaks! My one thing is that due to the nature of how they work, it’s gonna feel a little dry down there, but if that’s not a problem for you, I think they work great for lighter days or extra protection while you sleep!
Beautiful design with the swirls. It looks even better IRL than in the photo.
Lightweight.
Easy to put on and adjust.
Baby likes it, too. Used it in the ocean and on the beach.
Customer service confirmed that while the swim diaper itself as final product is not Oeko-tex certified, all its materials are Oeko-tex certified through its suppliers.
Excellent and responsive customer service.
I can't wait to give this to my new parent friends! If their experience with this is anything like mine with the larger products, they should love it!!!
A very handy, large bag to keep your wet, messy items - beach wear, wet clothes, in one place without leaking all over your car after your day of fun. Zipper keeps everything intact and the fun patterns are great. Thank you for a great product! I also got the original life saver mat. It's my go to gift for new parents.
I started by purchasing a lifesaver mat for my lover and I- we had great chemistry and neither of us had ever had the need for a towel before, but suddenly we were messy! lil Helper kindly sent a mini mat with my first purchase and THEN I realized that with endometriosis and heavy periods, I was able to sleep on the mini mat and put it on my seat in the car to protect against leaks. Well, we had the lifesaver mat at my lover's house so I purchased an XXL for my place- and i use it for EVERYTHING. It's soft and snuggly enough to use on the couch as a throw, but I also put it down for floor/couch picnics and it takes spills like a champ. I hang dry my laundry and i put it on the floor under the hangers to soak up drips as my clothes dry. I put it under my hanging vines when I water them. I wrap my wet bathing suit in it when I'm coming back from the beach. EVERYTHING STAYS DRY. AND CLEAN- my mattress, my car seat, my floor, my couch- every time I use it, I am still so impressed and every time I say "god, what a great product". The Lifesaver mat truly allowed us to get freaky with no fear of ruining furniture and it led to us being able to be deeply vulnerable with each other, and in love almost two years later. Our friends are potty training their two year old and we just got them a crib protector sheet as a gift- I just know they're going to love it. Thank you for making such amazing products.
Ordered a bed protector. Arrived quickly and no issues.
These lil helpers are perfect for light days, spotting, discharge, etc. Once placed, they are comfortable to wear and do not shift around when sitting, walking, or bending. As others have mentioned, remember to remove it while using the toilet, and you can easily put it back after you're finished.
Holy smokes! I have been using and liking these for a while, but they really saved my laundry recently. I had a significantly heavier period than normal after a procedure, and I was using the pads as a back-up for my menstrual cup. My cup overflowed while I was sleeping and the pad caught all of it, despite the fact that I toss and turn when I sleep. I washed a LOT of blood out of that pad the next morning, but I didn't have to wash my sheets!
Do I have children? No. I bought this because I needed to compliment my older one and they had a new to me size so I thought I would try it. It’s so soft, it’s super absorbent, and light enough to move room to room with me (home office chair to couch and the softer surfaces that are a pain to clean and this goes right in the wash). Excessive sweat, no problem, rogue menstrual issues - no problem. Cold wash, low temp dry until half dry then hang for the rest. My favorite part between this and others I’ve tried - no squishy plastic sounds when I move a little bit. It’s an investment and 100% worth it.
This works absolutely amazing!! My husband and I have been using it as an intimacy blanket and it’s the perfect size to not worry about anything underneath it getting messy. It also feels really comfy too
I love these reusable pads! Was initially nervous about how "gross" it might be to clean them, but it's super easy! Plus, they feel immensely better than using the plastic crinkly ones from the store. I'm especially a fan of the heavy size - I can sleep without worrying about a leak. Saves on money in the long run, and infinitely more comfortable!
I love the fabric, very comfortable.
Also,have experienced wonderful customer service!
Wish the snaps could be redesigned as not to fold down the underwear gussets..
I usually use other reusable products like cups but being postpartum now I’m using pads for when I sneeze and cough and pee myself! I’ve used two other reusable pad brands before, they don’t compare to this one! Comfortable, absorbent and cute. I’m buying more for sure!
