Leekalos Reusable Menstrual Pads - Bamboo Menstrual Cloth Pads | Light Incontinence Pads | Reusable Sanitary Pads - Pack of 6, 1 Cloth Mini Wet Bag

At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I tried a different brand, with a different style. Those didn’t live up to my expectations or my needs. So I decided to give these a shot. I am impressed with how well these hold up and how much they can absorb. I tend to have heavy periods and often would buy the infinity pads. These washable pads are equal, if not better in my opinion. I’m also saving money and it’s a small victory for reducing garbage. They’re great as everyday liners as well. They are thin, breathable, as they help absorb moisture and sweat away. I have had them more than a month, and they’re still going strong! Pros: Appearance they are as advertised. Thin, but mighty. Machine washable and dryer safe (delicate and medium heat recommended). Made of good quality materials, and comfortable to wear. My undies are always left clean & dry. Cons: They tend to slip down a little. But not enough to annoy me. Otherwise it stays for the most part. It might also depend on what material your undies are made of. Note: I bought a quantity pack of 3 = 21 units total.

So I have only used them for one cycle, but here’s my full review on them based on it: Pros: Very comfortable. It took a bit to get adjusted as it feels a bit bulkier, but otherwise very comfortable. The pictures show the size comparison to a standard size 2 “long super” disposable pad as that’s what I typically use. The ability to shift them. So I move mine depending on if I’m sleeping or out and about, and being able to slide it where I need it is a great thing I didn’t know I needed. Easy to wash. I soaked mine in just cold water about 24 hours, then used borax and a small amount of Gain in cold water to wash them. Borax has mixed reviews on if it should be used, but they came out alright Little to no bunching. I’m a larger person so my pads usually fold up and crinkle throughout the day, but with these I could readjust them without fighting Cons: Smell. The pads themselves don’t smell, but I do sweat a lot and I noticed that smell a bit more apparently than usual. Did not notice a smell when it came to my period though. Thickness. I’m a size 16 xxl no thigh gap person, and I wear leggings. I felt like you could clearly see the outline of the pad from the back, as I could feel it. These also do fold a bit as I go throughout the day, but fixing it isn’t a big issue. It does slide back and forth as I wear polyester blend underwear, but again fixing it is an easy thing to do. Overall great product. The snaps held amazingly and didn’t feel odd as it’s a hard plastic. The waterproofing worked great and I had no leaks or staining. This is a great product that I recommended to anyone looking to save some money.

I really like them and after 2 weeks of use, have not had any leaks so far! I have an incredibly heavy period, and have Thinx period panties to help with that, but I still leak through even those! So, I got these pads for extra support (and as a more affordable option, because Thinx period panties are definitely an Investment) and I haven't had an issue since!! I usually soak the used pads in a huge mixing bowl (that I don't cook with) with oxiclean pre-soak detergent for about 30+ mins, then rub the entire gusset with my fingers for a minute or so and let it soak for another 10 mins. But usually, even after that, it still has some staining, so I refill the bowl with clean water and detergent, let it sit for an extra 30 mins, thoroughly rub the fabric, and then put them in the washing machine cold on a light cycle. I, at first, didn't know the panties needed to be soaked, so I tossed it in with my general laundry on cold and it....was not clean. So, I reread the care instructions, and because I am very unfamiliar with hand washing, I just put the pads in a bowl of cold water for 20 mins. Then, back into the washer. Again...not clean. So, for the final time, I soaked it with Oxiclean pre-soak detergent for about 20 mins, and they came out alright enough......but not perfect. It took some trial and error to figure out how best to care for them and the instructions they came with are deceptively simple. But they're also confusing, because the product description on the site says to rinse with cold water after use and then launder normally, but the slip of paper that was physically mailed alongside the period pads have care instructions that say to soak them thoroughly prior to laundering. Due to confusing care instructions, I subtracted a star. But otherwise, these panties are amazing!!!! I got a size large so I could comfortably wear them overnight (which has fully eliminated any mess I could wake up to in the morning), and they are literally perfect! I am definitely looking forward to buying from this brand again in the future!

I bought a medium pack and a small pack. Medium was longer than I thought, which is a good thing. I prewashed them and I could tell as I was handwashing them, that they held a lot of water. It is very convenient to snap them together to hang and dry. Haven't used them yet because I am not on my period, but I will update my review when I get to use them. I have never been so excited to start my period in my life! UPDATE: They work so amazingly well. I have these pads and some cotton topped pads. I like these way better, I feel so dry and comfortable while wearing these. I was shocked at how quick these things wick away moisture. I have had no issues with leaking. I will definitely be buying more to last longer throughout my period. SECOND UPDATE: I have used these for about 4 months now, and I'll probably never go back to disposable. It's not that bad to wash them and I don't mind at all. If you don't want to touch or see blood, you can presoak in the washer with oxyclean, then do a regular cycle. I just make sure it has 2-3 rinse cycles to make sure there is no soap left. What I found that is more convenient on the go is to get individual reusable pad wrappers. I got mine from Mama Bear Wear on Etsy for ~$1.50 a piece and they fit in my scrub pockets at work. You can get nicer ones on etsy, but those work just as fine. 3RD UPDATE: I bought more! I've been using these almost 1 year and I love them. I have different styles of pads and this is the kind I grab for most often. I love wearing the medium style my whole period, so I got more of them.

These are amazing. I'm 39, and I've used traditional feminine hygiene products my whole life, mainly Tampax pearl. I've always HATED disposable pads, even ultra thin ones. But I reached a point where tampons started to irritate me. I wish I'd found these AGES ago. They don't crinkle, stick to you, make you sweat, or irritate your skin like disposables. I bleed heavily, and these have never leaked or allowed my clothes or underwear to become stained. I don't soak them. Just rinse them well and scrub the top side of the pad against itself with a bit of liquid detergent. I wash them with my clothes and hang them to dry. They come totally clean: no smell, no stains (even the light colored designs), nothing. They are easier to care for than you'd expect, and once you have a stash, you're set. No worries about running out of supplies.

Reusable and nice that you’re able to fold them up and snap close but they’re not comfortable and twist around . Bulky.

When I first heard about women switching from disposable pads, to reusable cloth pads, I'll admit it grossed me out. The idea of being out and about, and having to change pads and stick the dirty one in your purse in a wet bag... ugh. I thought I could never do it. But then I watched videos about plastic waste and how horrible we are to our planet. They would cut open whales who had washed up on the beach, dead, their stomach full of plastic. So I thought about how our family could cut down on plastic in numerous ways, and reusable cloth pads was one of them. First off, these are soo much more comfortable than disposables. I always would get the sticky parts to adhere to not just my underwear, but my skin as well. Ouch! But with these reusable ones that snap on, that is no longer an issue. They stay in place just fine. I debated between medium or large. I chose large and I'm glad I did because I believe it helps to keep them in place. Secondly, they absorb A LOT better than disposables! I was surprised at how much they held. I can go an entire day (morning to night) with the same cloth pad, so personally I don't even need the wet bag in my purse but I have it just in case. Third, they are great at odor control. Disposables stink halfway through the day to the point where I have to take the trash out shortly after tossing them in there. These reusable ones don't smell much at all, even if my nose is right up to it. That's why I can go a full day before changing it. Lastly, they are very easy to clean. I personally rinse them with cold water (cold is recommended to avoid stains) as soon as I'm done wearing them. Then I hang to dry up until laundry day. On laundry day I get a bucket of cold water, mix a little oxi clean, and place the cloth pads in it with the printed side up to allow any remaining blood to seep out of them. Let them soak for minimum 30 minutes. Then pull them out, place them in a zipper mesh bag, and toss them with a regular load of laundry on gentle cycle (cool or cold water). Hang to dry. Again, super easy. Sounds like a lot when I write it like this, but trust me I am a lazy person and this takes very little time to do all together. Overall,, these are so much better than I initially thought. I am so happy I made the switch. Bye bye sticky, stinky, disposable pads. Hello comfy, absorbable, easy to clean cloth pads!

These are great and good for the environment because they are reusable! Very soft and absorbent. Disposable pads usually give me a rash and these don't ever do that!
