I ordered these last year when my PCOS was acting up and I fell in love with them. Your description of them feeling like a pillow is spot on. I also find them to be very satisfying to clean because seeing all that blood rinse out makes me feel like I fought a great battle and is a great reminder of our strength.
Yes, these are amazing! They are super comfy and I agree with you. I don't mind rising them out at all because it's almost empowering! I'm so glad you had a great experience with them also!
Here in Halloween of 2021! I actually watched this video before I ordered reusable pads from Amazon and I bought the Teamony pads and I LOVE them! I wear pads ever day, not just during my cycle, to prevent leakage and bleaching of my undies. That happens a lot! I was producing SO SO much waste every day! I got tired of it and it was hard during the pandemic because I was afraid pads would not be available to me. I will never go back to disposable pads. Thank you so much for your video!
Awe, you're so welcome! I know exactly what you mean because I had those same concerns with disposable pads during the pandemic. It's such a great feeling knowing you don't have to remember to buy pads anymore! I'm glad you're enjoying them, like I am!
I felt the same way at first, but I love them and they hold so much. Cleaning can be a hassle, but I pre clean and then throw them in the washing machine.
I haven't had issues with bunching up. I haven't tried them while playing sports though. If anything they may slide. I'd recommend more snug underwear or double sided fashion tape to make sure the pad is secure during sports.
I ordered these and they just came! I get quite paranoid so i compared it to my nora and bloom ones and i was shook. They were so much thinner but absorbed loads!
I use the teamoy panty liners cloth pads as my normal every day pads and I didn’t think I was on my period either! But when I went to rinse them, a loooott of blood came out. They work sooo well and also I don’t feel them! But a little advice: if you rinse them and don’t wash them the same day, they will smell really bad and create bacteria. I didn’t wash one of them for a day and a half and it smelled bad! But I absolutely love them and recommend them to anyone!❤️🥰
Yes!!! I love that you can't feel them & they absorb ALOT! I can see what you're talking about. I've been hand washing each one once I'm done with it and then throw them in the wash at the end of my cycle. I'm so glad to see others with great experiences with them too!
Really? Its always nice hear that because sometimes it seems like non-tampon wearers are the minority. Lol I actually had a great experience with the cloth pads, Sis! I look forward to using them more in the future. Let me know if you end up trying them!
You're not supposed to dry them in the drying machine because it can alter the absorbancy... I recommend to let them air dry after you wash them in the washing machine.
Also what makes those move is the pul that's used. One way to fix that is double sided clothing tape just a small strip on the top and bottom and bam no more movement
I am totally going to try them! I love the cute patterns of the ones you got. I also hate tampons since they make me nauseous. Thanks for sharing your experience! I love your personality! Subscribed! ❤
Yes! They are cute and comfy! I don't like tampons either because they give me cramps. Thank you so much for your kind words! Welcome to the family! Let me know what you think of the pads once you try them. 💛
The bamboo ones have been working for me and saving the $bag. Use anti-bacterial liquid soap or moisturizing dial/Irish spring bar soap to wash for effective cleaning and protection for the material. Best to wash as soon as you take off. (Keep and extra with you at all times, wash the old one any restroom enough until you get home, put in the carry bag or ziplock bag). Air dry. Mine are a year old and still in excellent shape. Use cocoa butter Vaseline down their on your skin and thighs as a protectant barrier on your skin. Hope this helps. I agree - Comfortable, absorbent and not bulky so you can wear your skinny jeans and still look pretty.
I just bought these & got them in today! Was curious bc I recently switched to bambody period underwear, & absolutely love it..however I still needed pads for the first day or two on top & didn't want to spend & waste so much still, so I got this exact same kind as the ones in your vid! Thank you for the review, your video is great! 💛
How exciting! What do you think about Bambody? I definitely want to try some quality period underwear. & thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate it!💙
@@LaRissaJ I love them! Very comfortable & inexpensive compared to a lot of other brands out there. Most of the reviews say to order a size up, so def check those out along with their charts before you order if you do! I ordered up & they fit great & are really absorbent, no smell, easy clean, very similar to reusable pads. I'd try em out at home if possible for the first day to check their absorbency for you. I trusted some reviews of people saying they had really heavy flows & it held up for them half the day, but I needed a lil extra support haha Do recommend though, very very comfortable, especially the high waisted ones!
I have so many brands now. I first bought some off of Amazon a couple of times. Then I bought some off of Etsy. They all use different materials. I think the cloth pads on Etsy probably have the best quality, but I will give an update on the Etsy ones. My period is starting in a few days! 😅 Can't wait to try them. lol. Also I use menstrual discs instead of menstrual cups. The discs are much easier to insert in, plus you don't get any suction that a cup might have.
Wait I was sitting here like Lord please don't let the overnights pouch look like a luggage bag hahahhahahahha I was gonna ask if they have wings and also do they snap underneath? Seriously though the pad section was legit sold out up here too, so yeah this is def something to check out. I never even heard of this before.
Lol!! The overnights aren't bad, just a very full coverage. Yes, they have wings. The decorated parts on either side of the brown cloth pad are the waterproof wings. They do snap underneath. I think they are awesome!👍👍 Especially helpful during these times in the world.
So Google told me birth control pills can shorten your period. My entire life my period has lasted 6-7 days. Then I got on birth control and it stayed the same length. Later on I got off of birth control and it stayed the same length 6-7 days. Years later I am now I’m birth control again and I also started using more organic/natural cotton and chemical free pads and panty liners. My period length went from 6-7 days to about 4-3 days. So I’m pretty sure it’s the fact that I’m now using more natural period products that shortened my period and I hardly get bad cramps. All the mainstream period products have a lot of chemicals and bad things in them so I’ve been using the natural period brands like The Honey Pot, Rael, This is L ect... but a lot of times when I go to Target to get them they’re sold out of the ones I want so I’m going to try reusable ones.
I've noticed some organic brands being sold out in my area too. It's one of the things that led me to try reusable. Cloth pads give you the peace of mind in not having to worry about running out of pads & you don't have to worry about chemicals. Non toxic products are definitely way better for the body too! I hope you enjoy using cloth!
Interested in more feminine hygiene videos (just subscribed , hope to see more):, you convinced me to purchase these lol even though I recently bought ruby love reusable pads, lol maybe I’ll do a comparison of them. But anyhow wonderful review that answered all my questions.
Thanks so much for your feedback, suggestion & for subscribing! ❤Feminine hygiene is definitely on my radar. I'd love to see your comparison of the two! (Subscribed 😊)
I got my order (the ones you provided the link for) and I'm loving them so far! Your review helped me make the decision to use this particular brand. Thank you!
I am a cloth diaper mom of my last 4 years and though why the heck am I not doing this for myself. I just ordered some and found your review. If they have PUL like cloth diapers, DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER!!! In a short time the heat will make them leak at the seams. Your teeth are GORGEOUS by the way!!! LOL
Oh that's awesome! I feel the same way & I too cloth diaper my daughter! I love cloth diapers and cloth pads! Thanks for the tip! Good to know. I've been putting them in the dryer.🤭 Fortunately, no issues so far. & thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!😁
@@LaRissaJ I was able to stretch 1 set of pocket diapers through 3 kids in 6 years, almost 2 years each kid. I machine dried the inserts and hung the covers
Hi, Larissa I loved how you honestly gave your review to this product....just wanna know how often you do change a cloth pad in a single day when you're in heavy flow????
Hi! I'll be completely honest with you. I usually only need to change my cloth pad twice a day. I'll make sure I'm clean in the morning & put on a fresh pad. I use a bidet throughout the day to stay fresh. Then when I take my shower in the evening, I change my pad. So essentially, 2 heavy flow pads in a day on my heaviest day. One in the morning & change to a new one in the evening.
Its a good question! I change it twice in a day. One in the morning and one in the evening. Check my response to the original question for more details. 😊
@@LaRissaJ thank you for responding. I bought them and this my first cycle using them this week! I’ve changed twice during the day although I don’t think I needed to (habits due hard) and I use an overnight for bed time. I love it!! I believe I bought them last month after watching your review. :)
LaRissa J. I love your testimony! Cloth pads are everything... you articulated it best when you said you had a beautiful period. I can honestly say that since I have switched to cloth, my periods have been nothing short of positive and easy - in regard to managing them. I’ve been on cloth for over a year now and I started out like you (and like most people new to cloth) with a set purchased off of Amazon - more specifically “bamboo/charcoal fleece” topped pads with pul and a backing that lacked grip. That was enough, however, to make me a believer in alternatives to disposables. With time, research, and trials, I can confidently identify some of my favorites, as well as different preferences during different times of my cycle. UnpaperUnplastic is probably my favorite brand - sold on Etsy by the shop owner and seamstress, Tiffany. She offers wrap wing style surged pads that are thin and floppy. I like her bamboo velour or sherpa topped pads because they come in gorgeous tie die colors and they just feel amazing. LuniLove is another comparable pad brand, in terms of shape and quality top materials, created by the seamstress Jennifer. One of the ways she sells her pads is on Etsy, as well. When it comes to cotton or flannel topped pads that remind me of a classic maxi, I find comfort in Yurtcraft (an extremely popular brand within the cloth pad community). Lisa, the shop owner and seamstress, also sells her creations on Etsy. Lastly, when it comes to panty liners, I sew my own and I reach for them the most; I enjoy making them and playing around with different fabrics, shapes, and sizes. It really is a whole new world. Cloth has been a game and life changer for me and my only notable regret since switching is that I didn’t discover them until my mid thirties! Reusables offer solace and joy to what would otherwise be considered a burdensome monthly occurrence. I genuinely get excited when I see these types of videos and I believe the person making it is sharing their experience because they have discovered the same thing that I have... freedom and healthier options. This is no longer a “comment” and It has easily turned into a love letter about cloth pads! Lol. Anyway... :) I thank you for sharing your experience and I look forward to seeing your journey unfold, should you continue to share it!
I LOVE your comment! Its so exciting to hear from someone who has been using them for a while & can identify with my experience with them! I'm actually excited to try more brands. Thank you so much for sharing your faves!! I'd be interested in learning how to make them. How did you learn to make your own pantyliners? Thats so awesome! Thanks again for your comment! 🤗
LaRissa J. I learned to sew liners and pads from RU-vid! Amy Nix has an array of cloth content that helped me when I started on cloth. Rosey Reusables and Precious Stars are channels with relevant content as well.
On the gray part. That gray area is made of highly absorbent material and it actually camouflages the blood pretty well too. Years later and I still love these things!
Not that long ago we did a disposable pad and tampon drive at my church because some people who lived near us would stay home during their periods because they could not afford to buy pads. We did it and it was a success. Later on they asked for more. I've been wanting to tell the church to see about making some and teaching the girls how to make them too because then it would be less expensive and the girls won't have to be embarrassed to ask. For the girls they were so poor that they would stay home during their periods because they couldn't afford to buy pads. I've been wanting to tell my church this but I'm tooooo embarrassed to say something. What should I do?
I love that your church did that! I also agree with you that cloth pads could be beneficial to the ladies as long as they have a way to wash them. I love that idea of teaching the girls how to make them! Or maybe people from the church can learn to make them and give them away. I think that it wouldn't hurt to make the suggestion. After all, if they accept the idea, your courage to offer an alternative could be a blessing to those ladies. Cloth pads do cost more than disposables INITIALLY but they end up being cheaper long term. Maybe if your church did go the cloth pads route, they could do a fundraiser or take donations for the cause. Either way, the worse they could say is no. It wouldn't hurt to offer a suggestion. I wouldn't be embarrassed because you are offering a solution to a problem. 💛 Pray and be led, Sis.
Thanks so much! Here is the link for a 16 ct box. amzn.to/2YYvIT8 I am also including the link for 3 boxes in the description, as that is the one I buy.
I just started using cloth pads for the very first time this week. My only problem is I can't get the smell of blood out of them. I have soaked them in a bucket with cold water, baking soda and oxi clean. I soaked them for more than 4 hours twice. They don't have any stains. And after they soaked twice I washed and dried them by they still smell like blood. I'm not off my cycle yet, but I'm worried about using the rest of them
Could be the smell is just stuck in your nose (idk it happens to me). Try smelling coffee to see if it changes anything. I would also try white vinegar in the soak
When do you rinse them? I rinse all of the blood out with cold water and do a light cleanse with a little bit of soap the moment I take the pad off. I put those in my wet bag until wash day. Then, I throw all my pads in the washing machine when I'm ready to wash them all together. See if that works for you.
Hello!! Yes! I did do a video about the tea. It's called "Why Women Should Try This Tea" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZZPJ96NDkBE.html
I've heard they can last 5 years minimum. Here is an article I wrote with all details if you're interested. www.larissaj.com/reusable-cloth-pads-benefits-of-using-cloth-pads/
I haven't experienced this. I originally thought they would be hot. But I've worn them in the summer outside and still found them to be comfy. Now, of course, good hygiene, a little bird bath and changing the pad when needed are key too. With those practices, you're very likely to have a great experience as me & many others have. 😀
Ah, don't let the appearance fool you! They absorb ALOT!! & if you have a heavier flow of just want complete confidence, I'd recommend the overnights. I haven't had issues sitting, standing or sneezing. I've gotten hours worth of wear with them each day. I highly recommend giving them a shot! Even if it's only a home test at first.
Great question! Yes, these absorb alot! This particular set comes with 3 pads in size large which are incredible! I love wearing the large size throughout the night and even on a heavy day when I want to feel secure.
Lol Can't argue with that! I've heard some Etsy brands are good! I haven't tried them yet, but that may be something to consider as an alternative option.
