Natracare Natural Traditional Style Night Time Maxi Pads, Individually Wrapped, Without Wings in Plant-Based Bag (1 Pack, 10 Pads Total)

Wow I've been missing out for years. I was an Always user, but I discovered recently that those pads (and others like Kotex) irritate the private parts. Irritation can sometimes happen, itchiness, and what seemingly was unrelated-- skin rashes/bumps on other parts of my body. I thought those things were related to the menstruation cycle, until one day I was having problems breathing and my chest was hurting. It almost felt like an on-coming attack of TSS (note: almost happened once with a tampon, so it was really alarming). That moment I discovered I was having various degrees of reactions to different brands of sanitary pads (as time went on wearing them). My research ultimately lead me to these organic cotton pads, so I decided to give these a chance. Many non-organic cotton and non-cotton pads have a lot of unknown ingredients and chemicals in them (undisclosed to the public, you can read more about it too). So first impressions: extremely soft, and the maxi pads I received were also pretty thick. I have medium to heavy bloodflow (really thick and clotting) so I was worried about how absorbent they were. Turns out they were pretty absorbent. In addition, there's no smell to them (at all), there's no irritation because the cotton is so soft and there's no additional texture cover/wrap like other brands. I also noticed that even to the end of the day, without changing it, the pad hasn't gotten any worse. (Gross I know, I should've changed it, but I still felt like I was sitting on a cloud 8 hrs into the day.) I honestly might make the switch to cloth pad in the future, but in the mean time, these pads are my go-to day pads now. One can last comfortably for the entire day and emits no odor. I recommend these if you want either more comfort, and/or a solution to pad-related to irritation.

Years ago, I found these in a natural food store. I could never remember which brand pads these were, and I constantly ordered other brands hoping they would be "the ones". I gave up thinking it must be something that was discontinued. I accidentally found these again and I am thrilled! Backstory: This family doesn't use tampons as a preference. Moreover, I HATE pads with wings. My young, heavy-flow daughters struggle with wings. These pads have no wings! They are similar in feel to the favorite pads of my youth (store brand wingless from the 80s and 90s) because they are soft, thick, and no wings to contend with. Did I mention that these are SOFT??? I can't express how much this means when you have a long and heavy flow and have to sit on them a week or more. I'm now at the "peri" age where I am getting my period every two weeks...fun. Between that and my teen girls, we go through a lot of pads. Now that I have found these again, we are keeping these exclusively in the house. In addition to the night pads for heavy flow, I have ordered the other sizes to try (regular, super, and Long liners, as well as the Plus incontincence pads for my mom to try.) Liners are good to have, but just like winged pads, liners that are not "long" are uncomfortable to me because they migrate during the day...ouch. I am interested to try Natracare's liners as I am currently using Rael long liners and want to see if the softness of the Natracare full size pads is the same in the liners. I can't say enough about this brand. THANK YOU! We love Natracare no wings pads! Please do not change them!

These do NOT have wings! They are unscented, are thick and soft and truly comfortable to wear for the few necessary days. (about as comfortable as flannel pads--I use them, but sometimes want a disposable option.) I buy the Regular size. There's 18 in the bag and I wish they came in a larger quantity pack. As long as I need these (I'm 51 - and cycles are like clockwork) I won't buy other pads. These are very much like what I recall pads being in the 80s, as other reviewers say. I like that. These are individually wrapped. I don't like the extra trash this creates, and wish they just came flat, in the package. I plan to get these for my daughter, when her time comes, too, if reusable options don't suit her. If it's helpful, some similar pads I've tried are: Kotex Regular - wingless, unscented. Cottony texture, but not as soft. Size is narrower and shorter--perfect for a petite frame. Good second choice, if Natracare is out of stock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014CZJH2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Curity - Wingless. As soft and thick as Natracare, and narrow. Advertised as a maternity pad, but never mind that. https://www.amazon.com/Covidien-2022A-Curity-Maternity-12-1/dp/B01BQI4MQC?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&nis=7 Stayfree Super - Wingless, thick, good size, but they have a sickly scent, not mentioned in the description. Comes in a large quantity pack. Amazon Basics - wingless, too much adhesive, and a more papery feel, and too large. Always Regular - wingless. Pads never feel dry. Plasticky texture is unpleasant. Only listed because it's a wingless option.

def the softest brand i've tried and thick! i wouldn't wear in the daytime personally but they have great coverage and i like the thickness for overnight(esp with no wings. it reminds me of memory foam feeing where they're almost form fitting so overnight you're covered & comfy. very impressed with this brand's products!

I love that these are made from quality materials, since so many others are so toxic. They do a pretty good job. I didn’t give it 5 starts because the pads tend to squish up a bit in the middle, so it causes leaking onto fabric.

Great pads, quite thick so perfect for those heavier times and bed times, would recommend, would buy from this seller again

Produit de très grande qualité. Confortable et très absorbant tout en restant naturelle et de plus compostable ! Le prix est tout petit par rapport à celui pratiqué dans mon magasin bio de proximité.

ふわふわの使い心地でにおいも全然しませんでした。 また、使いたいです。

Assorbenti naturali senza l uso di sbiancanti chimici.non emette cattivi odori.la pelle respira.assorbono molto bene.non sono per niente plastificati.costano un po di piu dei classici in commercio ma vale sicuramente la pena

Estaba buscando compresas libres de productos químicos y de alta calidad. Estas están hechas de materiales puros y naturales a partir de celulosa de plantas. No están blanqueadas con cloro, ni contienen materiales plásticos o sintéticos que produzan un impacto negativo a nuestro entorno natural, son biodegradables 100%. A mi me resultan cómodas y adaptables, y he escogido super porque el nivel de absorción esbueno. Además no producen irritación alguna ya que la capa externa es de algodón, no plástico o petroquímicos, materiales más económicos, como las que hasta ahora he venido usando. Como acabo de empezar a usar las copas menstruales (en breve daré mi opinión) quería una compresa natural para las noches y para los dias de más flujo. La fecha de fabricación es de julio de 2015. Era un producto plus y por eso las escogí pero la verdad podrían ser un poco más económicas comparándolas con otros sitios web. En resumen, voy a seguir usandolas porque estoy satisfecha con la calidad y cada dia estoy más sensibilizada con el impacto que producimos al medio ambiente y soy consciente que cuanta menos química en nuestra piel, mucho mejor. Des de mi punto de vista son 100% recomendables
