Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Please read entire review if you read any of it. I want to start with first saying that anyone denying that these are good quality is most likely not taking proper care of them. With reusable diapers and panties you must follow a proper wash and care routine to keep them absorbent. (Gently) hand wash cold, mild soap or many rinses, and NEVER ANY FABRIC SOFTENER. fabric softener makes things less absorbent (ie. “liquid beading off.”) a regular washer can and would rip the inner PUL/ liquid retention layer making them leak the next time you use them. Then FOLD to squeegee not wring. Wringing will rip the PUL. Once no longer dripping air dry. I drape mine inside out with crotch up over the shower bar or drying rack. Okay. Now for a review on these puppies. These are so fantastic i bought 2 packs, then 2 more, and I’m about to buy two more. Why so many? I bloat some times but not all times so got enough for the time of my menstrual cycle in Medium and Large. Im losing weight and will need smalls soon but can just alter the larges when that time comes. I also am lazy and dont like standing at the sink hand washing while on my period so i leave them in a bucket of water, agitating slightly and changing the water every day until it is done and then wash them all at once. These are leakproof. They only ever leak when they overflow. I change them about every 3-4 hours on a regular day, maybe every 2 on a heavy day at the beginning. I wear them without a liner. I have an issue with the front and back getting stains before it leaks out the bottom when i wear disposable pads so i always got the extra long pads making things even more bulky but the absorbent layers in these panties covers all of that well enough i can ditch the pads in exchange for changing my panties every couple of hours. It is soooo worth it. They stretch really really well. A large would fit bigger and smaller and the same for every size. I feel if you size what you are normally you will be more than pleased with the give in both directions. I have abdomen pressure issues from endometriosis, GERD, and IBS so even though they are very stretchy its too much for my sensitive self so thats why i got the two sizes but if i was average and undamaged i would have stuck with the mediums only. I got ALL shrimp color because i only wear white, gray, and earth tones and the color couldn't be better. They look like the pics to a tee. They are quite soft though only as soft as their materials allow. Upon drying they can feel stiff but thats how air drying works, they feel pretty soft after folding and putting in the drawer. I have posted pics with the background blacked out because I have very identifiable tattoos. I have also post a picture of a black pair i had received from another brand that i returned. I purchased 5 different brands including thinx and returned all but these. I am sharing a pic from one of the other brands as comparison for how thick they are/feel. Many people have posted saying period panties can feel like a diaper. Im here to say these dont. If you think they feel like a diaper you probably should stay away from period panties altogether. These have as little diaper feeling as period panties can get with 3 layers of material around the crotch as all period panties will have. Inner layer, PUL layer, outer layer. These have cotton which i prefer as it helps keep yeast infections at bay which should feel slightly thicker however if you care to check from the black pair of a different brand (white background) it appears (and felt) much thicker. The fit wasn’t as good because they weren't as stretchy, they didnt breathe as well, and felt more diaper-y. I can tell just by looking but its my body so I'm not sure if its visible from someone unbiased. Im clearly not great at editing i dont have photoshop or anything and i wasn’t paid for this review. I have given them my money for these and I’m going to do it again. They stop just below the belly button. And the cheeks are a little bigger but I prefer the slight wedge for absorption help as i fit into them. That will make sense to those that also need it. However it’s the only thing that I believe anyone could logically complain about but wouldn’t even notice unless they have a very flat to nonexistent butt.
