Flo - Day + Night Menstrual Pads (10 Day + 5 Night) - Organic Bamboo Period Pads for Women - Winged + Ultra Thin - Absorbent, Soft & Breathable - 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.

Very good pads. Dry top cotton layer, doesn't cause irritation like other pads.

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.

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.

Nice size, Nice feel, Nicew absorption.

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.

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.

These are the best sanitary pads I’ve ever used. So comfortable, super absorbent. My teen would love it if you could buy them without wings!

Fabulous sanitary towels, all natural, and very soft and comfortable, you don’t really notice you’re wearing them. Designed by women for women and it shows.

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 :)
