Amazing
So I have only used them for one cycle, but here’s my full review on them based on it:Pros:Very comfortable. It took a bit to get adjusted as it feels a bit bulkier, but otherwise very comfortable. The pictures show the size comparison to a standard size 2 “long super” disposable pad as that’s what I typically use.The ability to shift them. So I move mine depending on if I’m sleeping or out and about, and being able to slide it where I need it is a great thing I didn’t know I needed.Easy to wash. I soaked mine in just cold water about 24 hours, then used borax and a small amount of Gain in cold water to wash them. Borax has mixed reviews on if it should be used, but they came out alrightLittle to no bunching. I’m a larger person so my pads usually fold up and crinkle throughout the day, but with these I could readjust them without fightingCons:Smell. The pads themselves don’t smell, but I do sweat a lot and I noticed that smell a bit more apparently than usual. Did not notice a smell when it came to my period though.Thickness. I’m a size 16 xxl no thigh gap person, and I wear leggings. I felt like you could clearly see the outline of the pad from the back, as I could feel it. These also do fold a bit as I go throughout the day, but fixing it isn’t a big issue. It does slide back and forth as I wear polyester blend underwear, but again fixing it is an easy thing to do.Overall great product. The snaps held amazingly and didn’t feel odd as it’s a hard plastic. The waterproofing worked great and I had no leaks or staining. This is a great product that I recommended to anyone looking to save some money.

Yes and no.
Amazing product to keep you dry throughout the day, the liners are breathable and comfortable, they stay in place all day long. I personally DO NOT recommend them to use during your period though, the reason for that is that even if you change them several times a day the moment you bleed the smell will scape, been breathable makes them really good for everyday use but I felt super uncomfortable when using them during my period, so I gave them a try but I went back to regular pads. Again, amazing for everyday use, me particularly won’t use them during my period.

Pretty decent and worth the money
I got the variety pack of these a few months back, overall I think that they work pretty decent for me. I got them in a large and I would say that they are a little longer than a disposable pad (something like always) in a size 2 (like the regular) and like the size 3 (like the extra long) in length. I normally go for the equate (Walmart brand) in a size 4 (the first overnight size) and I typically go with the maxi version of it. I would typically wear the disposable ones day or night because I didn't want to risk leaking. I wear I size 8 in women's underwear and overall I say that these reusable pads fit pretty decent. I don't think that I've leaked in them yet even though they are a lite shorter than what I would normally use. I typically use the closer button to make sure they stay in place. They do shift a little bit but I would say less than the disposables did. I can go 8-12 hours in these without leaking. I typically have a medium to heavy flow, so I was quite surprised that they held up. I don't normally hand wash anything, but I do hand was these. I just run them under cold water till the water runs clear then I use a bit of detergent and some more water and just give it a good cleaning in a bin then I rinse them and let them soak for at least 30 minutes after and let them air dry. Overall I really like them and honestly all I really don't like about them is they need to be washed right away and they take awhile to dry. Some people wash them is the washer but make sure that you don't put them in the dryer. I wouldn't mind washing them in the washer, but I don't do laundry often enough for them to not get gross by the time my cycle is done. I will say that when you let them air dry, if the humidity is high where you are at after you use and wash them, it's probably going to take 12-24+ hours for them to fully dry so make sure that you have other ones ready. If the humidity is so post to be high coming up. Also, make sure that they are fully dry before you put them on. I washed mine before I used them and I thought that they were dry like a few hours later, but they weren't yet. I couldn't really tell right away how wet they were, it felt like it was maybe a little damp but it was a lot wetter than I though. Side note, if you're sweating while wearing these, they will get "thicker" like puffy, idk what the right word is ,even if you're not bleeding a whole lot. The wings that go around your underwear to hold the pad in place take some getting used to, though. I would wear the disposable pads with wings, but they would never stay wrapped around my underwear, so because my thighs rub together, when I walk they wouldn't be irritated by it, but because these actually stay in place they feel different to me. I'm usually not a huge fan of fabrics that feel silky, especially when it comes to things like underwear, but for me these are fine. I had some irritation at first, but I think my body has become used to it now. I do have sedative skin so that may have contributed to the irritation. I will say that I've never changed these in public but they do come with a wet bag to bring when your out in public and when I washed it, I put water in the bag itself and it didn't leak out without dumping it so I would say it probably works.

Good alternative to disposable pads
Ive had these for years and absolutely love them. They are super durable i boil them (although im probably not supoosed to) and they havent fallen apart or anything. I used to get infections with disposable pads which is why i switched to these and they are the best decision ive made especially financially.

Worth it.
I did really know what to expect. I got the medium ones. They haven't leaked. I'd actually say they are more comfortable and less smelly then disposable pads. I like that I can put them in a wash bag and they come completely clean. I do recommend washing before first use.

Very bulky
Soft, cute design, nice clasping mechanism. But they are very bulky. Like the type of pads we all had to endure from the nurses office in middle school. Feels very diaper like.
