Rael Organic Cotton Cover Reusable Pads Thin Cloth Pads, Leak Free, Washing Machine Safe, Menstrual Pads with Wings (3 Count, Overnight)

I bought one pack of these in Feb 2018, and was really unsure as to how leak proof, bulky and comfortable they would be. At first go when I used them it was a little strange, they seemed massive compared to the usual pads that are on the market, (I had purchased the larger ones....great for night time though). I absolutely love them, and wished I had bought more, as when they were used up I had to go back and use the common pads, and it made me realise the difference. I use to think that it was the period that was the problem, when I use these I don't feeeel like I'm on my period (unless I'm having cramps). when I returned to the common pads I thought it made the flow smell, and realised its because of the amount of plastic in them, wearing these organic ones did not make my period smell at all. These pads are gentle on the thighs, so no chaffing, and no rustling sounds!!! I was worried about cleaning these too, and being too icky to handle, or staining, I have to say it has taken a little getting use to, but seriously it's worth it. After use I let cold water run over them in the sink for a good 3-4mins (longer if heavier flow), then I soak them in cold water overnight (a few at a time), and then wash them on 60 deg (white wash liquid, no conditioner), and air dry them - no stains, and yes they did shrink a tiny bit, but hardly enough to notice much difference - I bought the larger ones - okay you can't wear them with sexy underwear, but really what pads look great? I will buy some smaller ones for lighter days. Every time I use them I smile and feel that I am contributing to the environment and saving on more of these plastic pads ending up in the sea! A little effort for a huge gain without compromising on comfort - Thanks so much for a lovely product :D

The best reusable pads on the market, that I've found. Very comfortable. Easy to use. Just wish they came with a small bag to use when away from home. Brilliant for use at home though.

Very impressed! These will not disappoint. I admit before my first use I was apprehensive about how well these would hold a heavy flow and the squeamish task ahead of cleaning them out afterwards. I can honestly say I was worried for no reason at all. In fact, I found these to be a much better experience to wear and use than disposable sanitary pads as I used to go through multiple pads each day during my heavy menstrual flow and would always over flow over the sides and seep through my clothing. The guilt of disposing them knowing they are being dumped into landfills without decomposing which is harmful to our planet was eating away at my conscience. Another disadvantage of disposable sanitary pads is the smell after a short while of wearing it. A huge bonus is these leave no stale blood smell due to the fact of the organic cotton so all natural fibers which means no smell. What's not to love!? I am already a huge fan of these now! The reason I only gave a 4 star is because of the cost and you only receive 3 pads which I think is overpriced. Really would have liked to have received 7 pads to keep me going on my menstrual week. Also a cotton storage bag to store them in would have been a nice idea. Overall highly recommend!!!

I am a heavy bleeder and thought this would cover me on day 1-2 of my period but it leaked though. You can’t fasten them closed when they’ve been used either. They are very soft and comfy though so I’ll wear them mid-week.

Very expensive experiment, was very glad I was at home during the trial.First of all, these pads feel wonderful and lightweight at first. I felt the material was breathable and cooler than disposable 'Always' pads. The issue I had with these was the lack of adhesive (as you can imagine that wouldn't work with reusable pads). Once placed inside the panties it moved and slipped about giving very little protection. Furthermore to my horror, I found my pads leaked as well.Needless to say I wish I could return these but for obvious reasons I do not feel comfortable doing so.Perhaps for lighter flows it could be managed but one would have to apply some double sided adhesive to keep it place if you move about.It sadly didn't work out very well for me. Thumbs down.

Never in my life if I had such comfortable period Protection! I lightly rinse them out spray just a little pre-wash stain remover and then wash them with my normal laundry. They are always clean and stain free and I love that there is no chemicals or worries just good old-fashioned cotton like anything you'd wear on your body. And I can attest for them not leaking because I have quite happy. I bought three different sizes the small medium and overnight and all of them have exceptional leak free Protection. My favorite part about this product is you buy it once and then you don't buy it again. This last menstrual cycle I had I didn't have to buy any menstrual products because I had my pads washed and ready to go 😊

Por ahora muy bien. Son suficientemente absorbentes, su tamaño enorme es el que hace falta por la noche para evitar que se manchen las sábanas, y se han lavado a mano con bastante facilidad. Una sugerencia sería ponerle a cada uno otro clip por debajo, como tienen los de noche que tengo de la marca Natissy, para poder ajustarse mejor y asegurar que no se vaya a mover. Otra cosa que tiene los de esa otra marca es el poder lavarlos a 90 grados. Otro punto a favor de estos es que tienen las alas para mayor protección, cosas que otros no tienen. Además son muy suaves y no irritan. De momento muy contenta, solo espero que me duren ya que la idea es reciclar y proteger tanto la salud como el medio ambiente!

Zunächst war es ein wenig ungewohnt, aber immer, wenn ich zu Hause bin, nutze ich sie. Auswaschen und dann ab in die Waschmaschine. Kein Problem. Und mein Müllberg, an den Tagen, hat sie minimiert. Echt klasse.

Excellent, one of my favourite pads. Makes the monthly period much easier to deal with, if you get a medium to heavy flow. Excellent seller sold this product to me.

MY REASON FOR PURCHASEIt's an investment upfront, but I have recently noticed the price of organic pads had jumped way up!! Also, remember the toilet paper scare of 2020? Well, I knew I never wanted to be without pads "just in case," so thought, "why not go ahead and get these AND save money in the long run."MY FEARStained pads! I wanted a "fresh" looking pad each time to use after washing them. I'm only on my 2nd cycle with these, but so far, so good. The blood does come out if you pre-soak in COLD water.HOW I WASH THEMI wash them in my washing machine on gentle/hand wash, but you absolutely need to pre-soak them first!!I wanted a pretty soak bowl for my bathroom, so I use the "1.5 quart size ExcelSteel Copper Tone Mixing Mixing Bowl w/Plastic Lid, Stainless Steel" (it will hold 3-4 large pads), and the lid is opaque in case anyone happens to see the bowl, haha! **I feel like women in the old days would have found my pretty bowl and nice pad a luxury, so instead of it feeling like a chore, I feel thankful during the pre-soak process, haha!As soon as I remove the pad, I rinse it in cold water for a couple of minutes, until the water mostly run clear, then I put soap on the dirty areas, place it in the bowl, and fill it with cold water. After a while, the cold water will pull out the rest of the blood, and you then **slowly** pour it into your sink (pour too fast, and that bloody water will go everywhere!).I repeat this process 2-3 times until the blood has all lifted, then I rinse in cold water again and gently ring out the water until it rinses "clear," then I let them air dry in my shower, and I then throw them in my "Mesh Laundry Bag, Big Enough to Wash Reusable Sanitary Pantyliners, Menstrual Towels, etc by Natissy," and toss in my hamper until I do my next wash load (I wash all my clothes on hand wash setting). I then attach them to clips (the kind you use on chip bags) to let them air dry in my closet.**Edit: I now dry them on high heat for sanitary purposes and have only noticed minimal shrinkage from doing this.I hope this helps! 💗
