Rael Reusable Pads, Organic Cotton Cover Pad - Postpartum and Period Essential, Heavy Absorbency, Thin Cloth, Leak-Free, Washing Machine Safe (3 Count, Overnight)

I use for possible night urine leakage. I use regular bladder pads during the day but wanted cotton clothe breathable fabric for night time. If i have leakage at night when sleeping it’s normally very light these work perfectly. But if having a large bladder leakage at night occasionally I will use my regular bladder pads it would be too much urine for these clothe pads. I like it has a snap button to secure pads not Velcro that may get ruined over time. I bought 4 orders of these once I knew I liked them. Very happy with my purchase.

Yesssss!!So thin and hold a alotNo leaksNo smellsWashing was easyI hang dry mine and it didn't take long but I used a fan while they hung so like... an hour and they were dry.No stains at all!!I got 2 packs so I have 6 and I'm definitely wanting to get 2 more packs.I hope they last long they seem to be very well made and are very soft.

They are very absorbent, lasting me about 5 hours on a medium flow day. I like to rince them in cold water and then soak in vinegar before washing, the snaps don't respond well to that and eventually break off. I use a safety-pin now to hold the real wings in place. I cut off the extra "wing" things since they caused leaks. I also wear these with period underwear because the seams along the outer edge pierce the waterproof layer, allowing leaks when the pad is used for more than a couple hours, (this has been a problem with most reusable pads regardless of brand). I like the fabric that is used on these, the interior is comfortable and absorbs well and the exterior fabric is not really loud and squeaky when I walk, (unlike some reusable pads I've tried).If you are like me and happy to wear period underwear with these and also comfortable using scissors, I recommend them! The fabric is great!

Where do I begin…. So I’ve been using these for maybe 5 months now? I think! These are the most comfortable reusable pads I’ve ever used! They feel like your underwear. They don’t feel bulky like disposable pads do. I have bought maybe 4 packs of these so far and buying another now just because they’re on sale for Black Friday at a great price. It’s nice if you can get multiple packs so you don’t have to wash them constantly but still have pads available. I just bought them over time but in the long run will save soooooo much money on feminine products! I have a heavy flow and these have never leaked on me. And one of the worst feelings for me was when using disposable pads: so if it wasn’t full enough to change and pulling your underwear back up after going pee, the blood being cold 😫 this doesn’t happen with these pads which is insane!! Mine haven’t stained, but when I change my full pad I’ll throw it in the sink with some water and let it soak. Then when I have time I’ll rinse it out and throw it in the washer and hang to dry! I dried one in the dryer and it shrunk so I didn’t do that again! And I bought some wet bags ( for reusable diapers but they work great for these pads too) and I carry that with me in my purse if I’m out and about and need to change my pad. I’ll never ever go back to reusable pads. If you try any reusable pad or are on the fence about it, try this brand because it will change your mind on reusable feminine products. Other pads just haven’t compared. I tried reusable period underwear too and they were awful.

MY REASON FOR PURCHASEIt's an investment upfront, but I have recently noticed the price of organic pads had jumped way up!! Also, remember the toilet paper scare of 2020? Well, I knew I never wanted to be without pads "just in case," so thought, "why not go ahead and get these AND save money in the long run."MY FEARStained pads! I wanted a "fresh" looking pad each time to use after washing them. I'm only on my 2nd cycle with these, but so far, so good. The blood does come out if you pre-soak in COLD water.HOW I WASH THEMI wash them in my washing machine on gentle/hand wash, but you absolutely need to pre-soak them first!!I wanted a pretty soak bowl for my bathroom, so I use the "1.5 quart size ExcelSteel Copper Tone Mixing Mixing Bowl w/Plastic Lid, Stainless Steel" (it will hold 3-4 large pads), and the lid is opaque in case anyone happens to see the bowl, haha! **I feel like women in the old days would have found my pretty bowl and nice pad a luxury, so instead of it feeling like a chore, I feel thankful during the pre-soak process, haha!As soon as I remove the pad, I rinse it in cold water for a couple of minutes, until the water mostly run clear, then I put soap on the dirty areas, place it in the bowl, and fill it with cold water. After a while, the cold water will pull out the rest of the blood, and you then **slowly** pour it into your sink (pour too fast, and that bloody water will go everywhere!).I repeat this process 2-3 times until the blood has all lifted, then I rinse in cold water again and gently ring out the water until it rinses "clear," then I let them air dry in my shower, and I then throw them in my "Mesh Laundry Bag, Big Enough to Wash Reusable Sanitary Pantyliners, Menstrual Towels, etc by Natissy," and toss in my hamper until I do my next wash load (I wash all my clothes on hand wash setting). I then attach them to clips (the kind you use on chip bags) to let them air dry in my closet.**Edit: I now dry them on high heat for sanitary purposes and have only noticed minimal shrinkage from doing this.I hope this helps! 💗

These don't hold up to a wash

Overall I do like how absorbent these are, they are helpful to skip tampons or during the first few days. However they do shift quite a bit which can make leaks very possible. I wish there was a second button/snap for the wings that tend to be more of a problem than a help. Overall I’ll use the ones I have but probably won’t buy more of this brand or I’ll sew on my own snaps to stop the shifting.

These were the first reusable pads I have tried, I did buy cheaper ones later on to compare quality and it was quite a big difference. These are pricey, but well worth the cost. Had them a little over a year and use them monthly with no issues.
