I was really keen to try these after my usual brand stopped making their organic cotton range of pads. While the top layer of these pads feel soft and they have not caused me any skin irritation, I am disappointed with them and wouldn’t order them again. Key issues I have with them: - they’re short to the point of not being much longer than the liners I buy. I wonder if they are actually intended for teens?! - the wings don’t seem long enough or sticky enough and, therefore, they tend to come unstuck quite quickly and easily. - the above point then means that the pad bunches up, which a) is not very comfortable and b) leaves you susceptible to leaking. - I wouldn’t trust these for my normal flow. For me they are only really suitable right at the start or end of my period when I just need slightly more protection than a liner. I’ll use them this way to finish the pack but won’t bother buying them again. I do find the top layer comfortable and the organic material and no added chemicals etc means that my sensitive skin doesn’t get sore and irritated. But they’re just too small and not secure enough for me to trust them with anything but the very lightest flow.

These pads are great! I have been using products by this brand for a long time, and I am delighted that they are now producing organic products! These pads are discreetly and individually wrapped, and you get 10 pads in a compact little box, so good for storing away too. I especially love the fact that all the materials used, including the wrapping, are biodegradable, and it is great to know I am doing my bit for the environment! The only reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5 is, they really need to make these pads more affordable and better value for money. You can get 10 12 or even 14 pads by other brands for nearly half this price, so I think they would be much more attractive to buyers if they were cheaper, especially those wanting to go organic, as they would otherwise be put off going organic by the higher price tag. I guess this would also be more beneficial to the company, as they are bound to sell more if the price was lower!
