Well-Made But With Some Issues- Still Nice As A Backup Or Liner
These Aneercare washable menstrual pads are okay overall. I haven’t tried any other reusable pads like this so I can’t compare.<br /><br />So far I have used them as a pad after the 1st and 2nd day of my cycle when it is lighter. I was too nervous to use when I first started this month because I had to work all night and didn’t want to risk having a huge mess on my hands.<br /><br />They are thick and soft on the grey pad side, and the outer material seems to be made of waterproof fabric with various cute patterns. I find them to be comfortable and and they don’t make any crinkly noise while wearing. I received 6 medium-large size and 1 additional smaller pad (not all shown in my pictures). A cute little waterproof bag is included to store as needed.<br /><br />Overall, these appear very nice and well made with good stitching. Each one has a snap button in the middle. The buttons work well and don’t come undone, but I will say that the buttons don’t secure them in place as well as I would like. There is a tendency for the pad to slide forward and back or start flipping sideways a bit. Therefore, sometimes frequent adjustments are needed. That is another reason why I’m not sure I would want to use these on heavier days.<br /><br />They feel thick, well-padded, and seem fairly absorbent, though I have noticed that stuff may appear to sit on top for a little while before sinking in a little more.<br /><br />They have washed well so far. I always do a nice hand wash before putting in the washing machine.<br /><br />In the future, I will probably try at least once to use this on heavier days to see if it works, but as of now I think these are nice for using like starting the 3rd day of my cycle. These would also be good as a backup to tampon or cup though I have been trying to just stick to pads lately. My honest gut feeling is that I think I’ll have a mess when I try this on a heavy day. Even if I never use these on heavier days, it is still nice to save money on disposable pads by using these on lighter days- environmentally friendly too!<br /><br />It would be much better if the company found a way to get the pads to stay in place better without so much sliding. Maybe a second pair of buttons is needed or the waterproof material could have some kind of grip on it.<br /><br />I’ll be sure to update this review if any other issues arise with regular use. I’ll update when I’m able to test them on a heavier day, but as of now I would recommend them them as a liner on light days if you okay with having to adjust their position every once in awhile. I hope my review was helpful in some way, and if so, I would love to know-thanks!
