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.

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.

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!

This product works well for me. Comfortable and durable.

I had developed a severe allergy to the gel chemicals in regular pads and was seeking an alternative. These pads are made from nice natural materials and did not cause the irritation I'd been experiencing with the chemical ones. BUT, having said that, there is a reason why they make pads with the gel chemicals: it allows them to be super thin and yet highly absorbent. These natural pads are very thick! That, in itself, can be uncomfortable even though the materials used are very high quality, they are absorbent, and the adhesive seems to work fine. If you want to avoid the chemicals and continue to use disposable pads, I'd recommend these. I ended up purchasing an EvaCup, which requires only pantyliners as "backup just in case," so I no longer need thick pads. I also bought the washable Wegreeco and Luna pads after being unable to find any natural/organic pantyliner with consistently good reviews - everybody had complaints with the various brands falling apart, the adhesive not working, etc. I think Natracare does make a thin liner if that's what you are looking for, but I can't vouch for it since I have not tried it.

Finally! Everything I have been looking for in a pad! It's so difficult to find a nice, soft and plush maxi, especially for sensitive skin. Most irritate, or they have all gone to ultra thins, which I do not like. (if you like ultra thins, natracare does provide this in another form!) this pad actually stays in place and I even forget I'm wearing one it's so comfortable and absorbant. (I actually use it for mild to moderate urinary incontinence) Thank you so much Natracare for making a quality product safe for our skin!

I really love the soft, cloth-like feel of these pads. They are much more comfortable than the plastic-like feel of many other brands. However, my biggest issue was that the pad tended to bunch up and did not stick well. Several of them shifted or came off when I sat down, which was inconvenient and felt unsanitary. Overall, I liked the natural feel and comfort, but I will keep looking for something that stays in place better.

One of my biggest gripe with regular pads is that they feel...not great when they are wet. These cotton pads are worth every penny! They are super comfortable and absorbent and I have not had any leaks! Plus, they are all organic. Will 100% be buying again.

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

Theses are great on so many levels . Length . Thickness and absorbency but most of all a comfortable pad that I can keep inside my underwear. I was lost when my usual brand moved its nighttime pads to thin with wings . Now I’m glad theses are better . Worth a few extra pence. I’m a night time wriggler and the weight and size of these means there is no leakage of the ends. Also as not a thin pad it doesn’t crumple and crease leaving folder areas to leak over. The material is soft and doesn’t rub or aggravate my skin. No plastic bits. I wear theses all day on my heavy days .
