Flo Bamboo Period Pads with Wings Combo Pack 10 Day, 5 Night (15 Pads)

Amazing product!
Purchased this for postpartum bleeding as my flow lessened. Love them as they’re organic and soft. I didn’t have any leakage. This is now my go to brand!

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.

Nice pads but too short
I like how thin and comfortable these pads are and they seem to stay in place. I can’t speak to their absorbency because I am post menopausal. I sometimes wear pads to keep my underwear extra clean. The only problem I have with them is that they are way too short. If I were using them on my period and they are advertised as overnight pads, I would expect them to have significant backside coverage which they definitely do not. These pads are probably closer to 7 or so inches in length which doesn’t work for me. If they came out with a real overnight sized pad, I would absolutely buy these again.

Didn’t work well for me
These didn’t work out for me but may be fine for others. They are so soft and appear to be a high quality material. The downside for me is that they are very short (the overnight length is what I would normally wear for a pad length during the day and the daytime length was just very short so I would only recommend them on very light days or maybe in place of a panty-liner). I also had issues with them bunching up. I am a size 10 pants so they may be better for someone who is more petite.

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!

Brilliant product , slightly more expensive but you save doubling up on standard sanitary towels so actually doesn’t cost more , feels comfortable and light

The pads are thinner than I would have liked, I have a heavy flow especially on the first day or so of my period and these weren’t the best at being able to hold the amount of blood and ended up leaking.Will save them for the last day or so and won’t be purchasing again
