The best of the eco bunch so far
I’ve been testing a number of options in the no-plastic category and so far this has been the top contender. I really wish you could order a sample pack of many brands for that purpose, but instead had to order a stack 🙄.A very solid option for light days (or medium ones, when you’re in a situation where you can switch out at times during the day), mild incontinence, or daily use for spotting.The sticker-glue doesn’t glom as firmly onto cotton as some of the usual supermarket brands, or extend edge-to-edge, but so far pads have remained in place, even on active days of packing for a move and during a 10-mile bike ride. I noticed some reviews complained about secure positioning, so I was concerned but so far it hasn’t been an issue for me.I wish they were a half-inch or more longer, for even more peace of mind, but length is typical of conventional daily pads and is adequate, especially if you can switch out for a new one when things get heavy.The texture is pretty smooth; I’ve found other eco options to have a top layer that’s a little coarser and more like very inexpensive generic store brands. This is a step or two above that. I’m not especially sensitive to texture, though, so if you need the satin-smooth top layers of conventional pads, this might not be slick enough for you, even though it’s been the softest of the non-plastic pack.I like that the pads are not individually wrapped; even with bio-plastic, that’s an extra footprint I don’t personally require; I just fold and tuck extras into a pocket or purse. I much prefer to shop locally but had no luck finding this unwrapped option in stores, so had to cave and order here.They’re not as substantial in terms of absorbing or as long yet super-thin as the Always extra longs that were my longtime go-to, but they’re a close match in terms of inconspicuous slim profile and have done the trick.I still use the Always when I won’t be near a bathroom for ages, but this is now my pick for most use-cases.I’m just really glad to have found an option that works for me and that doesn’t make me feel crappy, like I’m a contributor to never-decaying landfills.

Nothing bad.
Since just move to new country here, and the selection of sanitary pad in small packaging to try out seems less option 😅 . This one I bought as emergency backup for my nighttime and light day time. It works. Nothing bad. Will consider again if I would like to repurchase.

Comfortable
I first tried this brand from IPSY and am so glad that I found it on Amazon. This brand is so much more comfortable than any other pad that I have used and the pads have incredible absorbency.

Non-toxic is great, but best as a backup for HEAVY flow days
I bought these in an act of desperation because I found myself at home for the holidays with none of my normal items. I wanted something non-toxic, absorbent, and thin. These satisfied all requirements, but I needed way more overnights for my heavy flow day. I normally only use pads as a backup for my menstrual cup, but I didn't have it. Using them straight worked, but I would have needed two overnight pads per hour to keep up with my flow during the day. The box only comes with 5 overnights, so I had to use my mom's monster pads overnight. Still, there were no leaks when I used them during the day and they didn't feel wet when I had to change them. This brand is now my new go-to for backing up my cup.

100% recommend
I have lichen sclerosus and so I am always in the lookout for comfortable pads, clothing, etc., and these are by far the softest and most comfortable pads I’ve ever used. I love that it’s a combo pack too! It’s nice to buy just one box of pads a month.

Needs improvement
My periods are light to moderate.I have sensitive skin.I worry about the eco impact of chemical laced plastic pads.I desperately wanted to love these and it pains me to give them 3 stars. I want to give them 2 stars but I’m going 3 for environmental impact.The first 4 I used leaked.The only ones that didn’t leak I only wore about an hour or two…These need improvement.I first tried the Glo regular length with wings and had leaks at night because they weren’t long enough, so I switched to these to get extra length.1: These do not pull moisture away from the body, so all day I feel wet and uncomfortable and the moisture eventually irritates my skin.The lack of moisture wicking down into the pad ultimately leaks to leaking over the sides of the pad as well .. fluid sits on the surface and builds up until it spills over. (The Glo line has side panels that try to help with that, though they aren’t super effective)These need a design that wicks fluid down.2: They are smelly.I don’t want scented pads, but I think they might be on the right track with their Glo line which has a charcoal liner to help with odor.3: The adhesive is a bit lacking (but better than Glo).First overnight the top of the pad came un-stuck and folded down, causing me to bleed on the underside (not absorbent) of the pad and ultimately all over myself and clothing.4: Is difficult in the US (through Amazon) to get a hold of the full line offered.I’d love to get the Glo version in the same length as these, but with better adhesive.The only good things I can say is that I love the direction they are going from an eco friendly standpoint and these don’t irritate my skin the way the synthetic pads do.If these has the activated charcoal liner, a way to wick moisture quickly from body and better adhesive, I would use nothing else.Until these improve, I’ll be looking for a new brand of non plastic and non toxic pads.I do hope these issues are addressed because I’d love to see these improve!!!

Works all day
They hold a lot for how thin they are. There are very comfortable - the perfect compromise for those days in between heavy and light.

Comfortable and perfect for sensitive skin
I love these pads, my family has extremely sensitive skin and these pad don't irritate us. They surprisingly asorb a lot considering how thin they are. We haven't had any leakage and the wings stay put. Best disposable pads I have ever used!

Good but ..
These are great if you have a sensitive fanoir like I do.. however if you are anything over regular flow these are probably not the best. As they don’t have any sort of wicking properties these can leave you feeling quite ‘wet’, and they get saturated quite quickly. I found I used one much quicker than regular brands. I’m peri-menopausal so flow is not massive but I just couldn’t get on with these, which is a shame as they look and feel great.

These are now my go to pads, they are great!
They really are great, soft, thin but absorbent, did not irritate one bit, packaging is lovely. Ive swapped for good now, yes its slightly more expensive but much much better than the fragranced plasticy pads that are more widely availible. Variety pack is a great idea, no more expensive really than the leading brand and much better choice.

Feels like I'm not wearing a pad
These are by far the best pads I have ever used. I can't feel that I'm wearing a pad with these, they are soft and light to wear. The wings and sticky parts are in the correct place to fit around underwear helping the pad to stay in place which in turn also prevents leakages. I do highly recommend thus product.

I LOVE THESE!!!
These are amazing and super comfortable. I have been looking for organic comfortable naturally pads and this one was so lovely! When my sister needed one I gave her these and now she's using them. They are very soft and smooth to the touch and the quality is good. The thickness is not to the extent of normal pads however which is my only qualm.

Super good for sensitive skin
But the pad is easily folded in
