Worth the Extra Effort
Using these make me feel great about saving money not creating so much waste every month with disposable pads and their packaging! They are also fairly comfortable and do a decent job at being absorbent! It feels like I'm wearing flannel underwear. The downsides are that because there's no sticky side, they rarely stay put. The one snap on the bottom is not enough - they're loose and move too much to the front or too much to the back, or get easily twisted/bunched. I'm honestly considering using some double sided tape just to keep them in place lol. They can also be a pain to clean, especially if you have only one set (I just ordered more to try to fix this problem!). You run out quickly if you're not washing them every day, plus if they caught some serious drainage then they won't come clean just by throwing them in the washer. I usually have to handwash them, or at least wash them right away with extra detergent straight on the stains. I wash them with some towels or something I'm not worried about getting stained (which surprisingly has worked fine - no transferred stains!). Overall, they're not easy but I think they're worth the sustainability in terms of money and the environment.
