FLO - Organic Bamboo Pads, Day & Night Combo Pack, Feminine Care, Organic Menstrual Products, Plant-Based, Black-Owned, Absorbent Pads, Unscented, Breathable, Sanitary Napkins for Women,15-Count

Great absorption, secure, breathable and better clean feeling compared to most big brand pads (Always, Kotex, Carefree). Bought it to try and loved it, especially with this variety pack that covered my full flow cycle.

These have the comfortable qualities and absorbing abilities we need in our feminine products. I chose these as a “healthier” option.Yes would repurchase

Flo pads are THE BEST pads I have ever used! I can’t believe I just discovered them!! They are super soft, & their absorbency is unreal, giving me a comfortable, dry feel - even on the heavier days. These are as close to “not on your period” as you can get! 10 stars! Thank you Flo, for making pads that actually keep me a little more sane every single month!!! I’ll never buy another brand.

Love these for light to medium bladder leaks, because they are biodegradable. Do not control odors as well as some, but are good as long as you change them once or twice a day.

I’ve been testing a number of options in the no-plastic category and so far this has been the top contender. I really wish you could order a sample pack of many brands for that purpose, but instead had to order a stack 🙄.A very solid option for light days (or medium ones, when you’re in a situation where you can switch out at times during the day), mild incontinence, or daily use for spotting.The sticker-glue doesn’t glom as firmly onto cotton as some of the usual supermarket brands, or extend edge-to-edge, but so far pads have remained in place, even on active days of packing for a move and during a 10-mile bike ride. I noticed some reviews complained about secure positioning, so I was concerned but so far it hasn’t been an issue for me.I wish they were a half-inch or more longer, for even more peace of mind, but length is typical of conventional daily pads and is adequate, especially if you can switch out for a new one when things get heavy.The texture is pretty smooth; I’ve found other eco options to have a top layer that’s a little coarser and more like very inexpensive generic store brands. This is a step or two above that. I’m not especially sensitive to texture, though, so if you need the satin-smooth top layers of conventional pads, this might not be slick enough for you, even though it’s been the softest of the non-plastic pack.I like that the pads are not individually wrapped; even with bio-plastic, that’s an extra footprint I don’t personally require; I just fold and tuck extras into a pocket or purse. I much prefer to shop locally but had no luck finding this unwrapped option in stores, so had to cave and order here.They’re not as substantial in terms of absorbing or as long yet super-thin as the Always extra longs that were my longtime go-to, but they’re a close match in terms of inconspicuous slim profile and have done the trick.I still use the Always when I won’t be near a bathroom for ages, but this is now my pick for most use-cases.I’m just really glad to have found an option that works for me and that doesn’t make me feel crappy, like I’m a contributor to never-decaying landfills.

I want to use clean, body-safe pads that are more sustainable. I'll eventually transition to fabric pads and a menstrual cup, but in the mean time I'm happy with Flo pads. I've tried several other organic brands, and this one has become my go-to, for a few reasons.Most natural pads boast cotton as their main ingredient, but I don't like it as a single-use item because it's very resource-intensive to grow. I also have concerns about pesticide residue on cotton and don't want to use it "down there" for that reason (even if the pesticides are Organic). I feel like bamboo might be a more sustainable option for now, although my ultimate goal is to stop using disposable pads.As for comfort and function, I feel these are 10/10. The upper layer is soft and very absorbent, even on heavy days. I use their "Day" pads and "Night" pads (which are longer in the back to catch leaks in bed) and they're all great. I do wish there was the option to buy them without the individual plastic wraps. Those are convenient when you need to carry them in your purse and keep them clean, but at home I feel wasteful unwrapping every single one.
