Perfect in every way
No bad chemical smell (unscented). The fit and design are the best! So glad to discover these.

would be perfect except for one DEAL-BREAKING flaw!!!!
I have long covid, which has made my periods a nightmare. It's not that they're bloodier (sometimes), or more painful (sometimes), or that my energy is low (always). What's really the worst part is the new allergies & chemical sensitivities. I can't use regular pads or tampons anymore because they tear apart and inflame my delicate skin now. For three and a half years I have tried everything - the chemicals in cups make them a hard pass, cloth pads are a nightmare to keep clean and waste what precious time & energy I have left, and every organic disposable pad has been unusable, including these ones.The thing is that they are very absorbent, and they don't irritate me, which is great. (I wish they weren't using bleached materials, but what can you do when there are so few options?) The shape on the overnight pad in particular is great - it flares out more substantially than any pad I've ever seen, which is MUCH needed. But what the real problem is, is that they use the same exact terrible adhesive and the same tiny wings as every other organic pad.Which is to say, the adhesive is about as useful as if you were to lick one side of a piece of paper and try to stick it to your underwear, and the wings are as proportional as a T-rex's arms. I don't get it, are they all using the same manufacturer?? What is this awful adhesive that all these organic pad companies are using?? Why are they all so much worse than mainstream pharmacy pads?? Have they tested this product and in particular its adhesion under real-world conditions?? Because fantastic absorbency doesn't mean jack when the pad moves around because it won't stick properly and the wings are weak - it WILL shift and you WILL leak.Also, they don't hide odor very well AT ALL once you exceed a certain saturation point. Maybe that's the price of getting an organic pad but I feel like there's got to be a better option, or rather a better possibility than settling for this??I'm so tired of this. I'm so frustrated. I bought these bc I saw all the absolutely glowing reviews. And these in fact might be my best option, but the fact that my best option is pads that stick about as well as a politician sticks to their platform has got me in despair. It shouldn't be THIS hard to find a good pad!!!!!

Surprisingly good
I thought these were actually good. Wanted to give something organic and healthier a shot and I'm pleasantly surprised. Dare I say, maybe better than mainstream classic products.

Very big, but thin
I love these pads. I didn't know pads this big existed until I saw them in a store and bought them. They're great for coverage. Only bad thing is, they're very thin. So these worked great when I used them while taking care of a hemorrhoid. Love them. Only problem is how thin they are and they're a bit expensive for what you get.

These are huge!
The pads are wonderful quality, but these in particular are huge! If you need a pad that covers all the surfaces this one will be perfect. Much larger than any extra long overnight pad I’ve had before while not being overly thick.
