Love these, though there is some shifting
Super impressed with this product!This is my first time using reusable pads, so I was unsure how easy these would be to keep clean or how well they'd hold up compared to more common forms of hygiene. I love this alternative to using diva cups, since those can exacerbate cramping issues with me.So, a few main features:A, the inner lining is SO soft. it really is enjoyable to have touching the skin.B, the charcoal really does remove odor! I found this works far better than scented one-use pads, removing odor while not adding its own either.C, Absorption was really impressive.I only really had to change these in the morning and evening, and yet did not feel gross or overfilled. In fact, you could barely tell from the surface of it that there was any liquid in it at all! I don't tend to have a majorly heavy flow, admittedly, but I feel confident that I was nowhere near its capacity even over night.D, Easy to clean- THIS was the part I was most nervous about. Since the pattern fabric is light, I was concerned it was going to easily stain unless you were going to be able to immediately clean your pads, but I am very happy that concern was unfounded. I find these easy to clean. I just rinse mine out in the sink after use (thats when you really see how much these can absorb) and after the water is running clear, I lay them to dry. Later, I throw them in the wash for a more thorough cleaning. The outside fabric is very sleek and is definitely water proof. Even in instances where I have seen blood on the pattern, it was always gone after a run in the wash, even if I was not on top of washing it right away.E. I love that they fold up. This makes them extremely easy to carry in one's purse for those emergencies.The ONE con-The ONLY reason I am giving these four stars, instead of five, is a basic but frustrating design flaw of these. Disposable pads of this size have adhesive, down the center, to keep them in place. However, these are held in place only by the central snap on the wings. This would be fine, I think, if they were shorter. As they are, though, it creates an axis point where the top and bottom tend to swivel. I've woken up at least twice with the pad no longer protecting me because it tilted sideways out of place. I've likewise noticed this same issue if I wear them outside, they have often slipped sideways while I'm walking, making for some spotting on my panties and just generally an uncomfortable walking experience. I imagine this might be remedied by using some double sided tape, or fashion tape, to secure them, so that is probably what I'll be doing until I can order a shorter version of this product.Overall, I am extremely pleased with these and will likely get variations for different times in my flow, from this company.

happily surprised
I'm just transitioning from disposables to cloth products and this is my first experience. Glad it worked out so well!Pros:The grey fabric is the absorbant part, it doesn't show stains and actually draws all the fluid away from the surface so you might not realize your flow is going at first glance. I know I had started, but couldn't tell how heavy, because the pad really absorbed it under the surface.Fluid rinses out quickly in a cold stream of water with hand wringing (careful to rinse in a basement washtub to prevent splashing around your bathroom). When I had several pads rinsed, I tossed them in a warm gentle cycle and they were clean as new.The pad does hold on to fluid, so you do have to provide adequate drying time after the washing machine cycle to ensure they are dry. I did an hour on medium heat and then let them air dry the rest of the way on my laundry rack overnight.The pad also stays put on my underwear and is just as comfortable as disposable types of the same absorbancy.With disposable pads, I usually have leaking from top to bottom or on the sides of the pads because they don't absorb or the sticky doesn't stay put. Not a problem with these pads.Cons:Price, but if they last me a year then they will pay for themselves in a few months.You have to arrange to carry several clean pads and have an odor proof "wet" bag for soiled pads during the work day. I found a plastic ziptop make up bag worked well for this. While I disliked having the soiled pads in my bag all day, they didn't leak, smell, or otherwise cause problems.

Great backup for the Diva Cup!
These liners work so well! I currently use these liners as a backup with my Diva Cup. I was getting sick and tired of buying disposable adhesive liners and wanted to throw away less stuff. I love the Cup but every now and then I experience a leak even after following rotating my cup 360. I saw some other liners from different companies but they were wanting too much for them and these had high reviews. I would say they are a good value. You get five liners with button snaps and no wet bag. These liners are of a decent length, soft and I love how you can fold these up and throw them in your purse. They seem to have decent air flow and my lady parts have been pretty happy with them. My only complaint is that they do slide around since they are only held in place by the button snap. I have not had any leaks and I recommend trying these first if you're interested in reusable panty liners. I wash these with my normal Seventh Generation laundry detergent and they are ready for the next usage.

Décevantes
J'ai acheter ce produit car lors de mes grandes marches il m'arrivait d'avoir des fuites urinaires, hors, ces serviettes réutilisables me semblaient une bonne solutionnais, elle sont douce et confortable amis le problème est que le tissus autour est glissant et se déplace en marchant, donc, pas très confortable finalement. De plus elles sont assez grosse donc pas idéal avec un legging!!

Super soft and easy to clean
Like most charcoal/bamboo blends these are super soft and comfy to wear. As easy to clean as any other reusables. My daughter approves as well. My only complaint, as with all reusables is that they can twist easily during wear.

Turns you into a swamp
The absorbent material actually seems to be microfleece. Used for one day, got a yeast infection. Hot, humid, tropical environment. I urge anyone to steer clear.
