Flo Ultra Long Night Menstrual Pads, 40 Count - Heavy Flow Absorbency, 3D Leak Barrier, Bamboo Rayon, Plant-Based, Vegan, Cruelty-Free

I want to use clean, body-safe pads that are more sustainable. I'll eventually transition to fabric pads and a menstrual cup, but in the mean time I'm happy with Flo pads. I've tried several other organic brands, and this one has become my go-to, for a few reasons. Most natural pads boast cotton as their main ingredient, but I don't like it as a single-use item because it's very resource-intensive to grow. I also have concerns about pesticide residue on cotton and don't want to use it "down there" for that reason (even if the pesticides are Organic). I feel like bamboo might be a more sustainable option for now, although my ultimate goal is to stop using disposable pads. As for comfort and function, I feel these are 10/10. The upper layer is soft and very absorbent, even on heavy days. I use their "Day" pads and "Night" pads (which are longer in the back to catch leaks in bed) and they're all great. I do wish there was the option to buy them without the individual plastic wraps. Those are convenient when you need to carry them in your purse and keep them clean, but at home I feel wasteful unwrapping every single one.

I love this brand and the pad is well made. I feel better about using these than the normal name brand as far as menstrual health goes.

This is an excellent pad for heavy periods. It’s very comfortable, and the pad absorbs quickly, leaving no mess. The price is also very reasonable.

Love this brand of pads - so soft and doesn’t stick to your undercarriage. I also never get any vaginal discomfort with these as I sometimes do with other brands. They’re also durable for the ‘average’ menstrual cycle - I’m not a heavy bleeder so I can’t speak to heavier cycles.

Good pads but wish they were a little stickier. The wings do not stick to my underwear at all. These pads don’t irritate my skin like other brands. Hopefully there will be some changes to the adhesives.

Very soft and thin, feels like it's not even there. Great coverage all over. I can't complain about the price either, I won't Always be getting ripped off anymore.

While I appreciate that this pad has clean ingredients, I think it’s lacking when it comes to the construction. Usual weaves that you see in other pads aren’t there, which makes it super easy for you to leak while wearing this. I can’t imagine being freshly postpartum and trusting these pads to keep me dry. I do enjoy the other pads this brand makes though!

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.

I gave these a go due to the fact that they were priced so cheaply (unsure if it was due to them being released or not.) I will now be sticking with this particular brand which is not something I expected to happen. I used to always use a very well known brand ~ that could begin with the first letter of the alphabet ~ however due to the issues that many people have, myself included, with the brand being convinced that they should all be scented this is the perfect switch for me. They do look very thin ~ more so than the previously mentioned brand ~ and I automatically assumed that they would be rubbish and that they could not be anywhere near as absorbent. I was completely wrong! I have very heavy periods, yet I went through less of these than I usually do when using the other brand. (These may seem thin but they work magic!) No issues at all with leaking, which is a first for me, and no irritation caused. They are very comfortable to use and certainly do not have that plasticky type thing about them which is a huge plus. The fact that these are natural is most definitely a huge thing and it is brilliant. I will be continuing to buy these and this is from a user of the other brand for over twenty five years! This box is perfect as a starting post as it certainly has the right mix in it. The night pads work amazingly well and no idea how the charcoal actually works but it has stopped the waking up during the night from flooding. I have gone from having to use countless, uncomfortable and irritating night pads during the day, due to heaviness, of being able to rely on just a few of these night pads instead. I honestly cannot recommend these enough and and I would definitely say to give them a try!

Tried these a couple of cycles ago for the first time & won't be going back to my previous big brand products. These are soft, comfortable, no soreness/rubbing or any kind of irritation, all things I'd sadly accepted as unavoidable until finding these. They make no rustling noises & you can barely feel you're wearing a pad. Yes they need changing a little more frequently but I find they absorb so much better than any other brand I've ever tried. No leaks so far even on heavy flow days. So pleased to see this product in my local supermarkets too. I've tried the day & night ones & definitely find these night ones a better size, day ones for me personally are suitable only for really light flow days. Absolutely no regrets in giving this product a try

Ces serviettes sensées être constituées de matériaux saints avaient une très forte odeur de plastique et de pétrole...

Super comfortable, not smelly or itchy, and there are two different sizes in the pack which is very very handy! Could do with having some mre in there but its not like it cantains less than the usual box so all is good. I would reccomend stocking up on these rather than buying just one box :)
