I'm in my 40's and my body is changing! It became uncomfortable to wear a cup because of some bladder/pelvic floor issues. So I was using tons of disposable pads and feeling pretty bummed! Decided to give these a try and they really work! Will definitely be ordering more.

I was highly skeptical because the pad is so thin. I wore it for MANY HOURS and no leaks. Normally would have gone through several disposable pads in the timeframe on a heavy day.

I wasn’t sure if I would like these or if they’d actually work, but decided to try them out. I’m not sure if I used it “backwards” or “forwards,” but it was very comfortable! I was also worried it’d show through with my tight(er) dress, but nothing showed through. It was so easy to wash. I haven’t had a full cycle on these, but wear for spotting days, and it wasn’t super messy or anything.

I bought a couple in a few sizes, excluding pantyliners, so I could try out reusables to help out sensitive skin. I have these and a few I made, so there's not much for me to compare them to in terms of my experience. I did expect a commercial reusable pad to be nicer than my slapped together sewing. And the conclusion is just kind of meh. They did the job, absorbed the flow (medium-heavy period), washed up good. They shifted, had a really short front, poorly shaped wings that rubbed and would rub worse if worn backwards to help the shifting/short front. Though the binding is a soft jersey material, it is too bulky and uncomfortable after a day or two of rubbing. Though quite absorbant, they are also rather squelchy and I was concerned that my movements throughout the day would cause leaks from the pad being 'squeazed' by my movements throughout the day. It didn't leak, but felt as if it would. This was consistent with both the heavy and regular pads and so wasn't a problem from me using the wrong absorbancy.

So, they will stay in my stash, but won't be the ones I reach for first. I'll probably save them for days I'm not working or doing active things since the squelchy feeling is not nice. I'll stick to sewing my own since it's less expensive and I like the finished product better. I can put the wings where I need them and avoid the binding that rubs.

Overall they are comfortable and effective, the only issue is that they don't stay in place which has resulted in some instances of getting blood on my underwear and thus when wearing some anxiety and hyper-vigilance about them sliding. I've heard new ones are coming with silicone dots, which is great, but I'll have to make some kind of modification to the ones I have in order to have them be truly usable and trustworthy.
