Material: Polyamide, polyester, lycra fibers, organic cotton, lyocell, bamboo viscose, polyurethane. We love that these pads are fully biodegradable – including the plant-based wrapper – and made from 100% organic bamboo, which is silky soft. They stayed put while wearing, which eliminated any leakage problems, and were comfortable to wear. An all-round winner for us! However, there are still no official compostability guidelines for menstrual products, as experts themselves are conflicted due to the 'medical waste' nature of used period care products. So we recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. How wonderful is that? LOVE LOVE LOVE my new 2-4-1 period underwear. I’ve always been hesitant worrying about leakage, comfort and absorbency but these are perfect.

One of our beliefs at Here We Flo is that every single person is different and the products they will need will also be different based on their flows, their bodies and their personal preferences. I’ve never used period pants before but I saw these and thought they were gorgeous and wanted to try them. We found they didn’t cause any irritation and we didn’t notice them while wearing, whether that be running errands throughout the day or toss and turning through the night.Not only are these guys veggie and vegan friendly, they're also free of bleach, plastic and chemicals. Great for the planet, and your vulva's needs. The tampon wrappers are 100% recyclable (to be replaced by compostable, plant-based wrappers in Summer 2021). Our FLO and glo pads and liners are wrapped in 100% plant-based, plastic-free & compostable wrappers. Absolutely love these period pants! I was dubious as I’ve never used them before. They are incredibly comfortable, great coverage for any leaks, and I love the design. The material is really soft also. Really impressed and I’m annoyed I didn’t get them sooner!

FLO Organic Bamboo Sanitary Period Pads with Wings - 100

Like a tampon, in the ocean menstrual pads often act like a sponge, but instead of absorbing blood, they absorb harmful chemicals that can be toxic to the ocean’s fragile ecosystem. Sizing is completely off. I’m normally a UK size 12/14, they recommend sizing up so I went for the large (apparently a UK size 16/18). Looking at the label apparently they are a UK size 16/18, a US size 8 (which is a UK 12) and a EU size 40 (also a UK 12). A size 12 seems about right and they are a little on the snug side, which I wasn’t expecting given I went large and isn’t what I wanted from the product. Our go-to supermarket brand has had an eco update, switching to a new organic cotton design that’s also free from fragrances, dyes and chlorine bleaching. We rated their absorbency, making them a reliable choice to wear at night, and we didn’t experience irritation either. Gone are the noisy and uncomfortable plastic wings, replaced with soft organic cotton or even reusable bamboo options. And considering the average menstrual pad is made from 90% plastic, and can take thousands of years to decompose, it’s about time too.

If sustainability is very important to you but you can’t deal with a menstrual cup, then this is the one for you.

Flo Organic Bamboo Leakproof, Highly Absorbent Slim Panty Flo Organic Bamboo Leakproof, Highly Absorbent Slim Panty

super comfortable but still snug so i felt confident they wouldn’t leak, they didn’t disappoint! i’ve been using them to sleep in as i have a particularly heavy flow and i normally have to wake up through the night at least once to change my pad so i don’t leak through, but i’ve been comfortably sleeping in these the whole night (around 10 hours) with no leaks at all. also happy to find they’re easier to clean than i thought they’d be Well, now you know! Our brilliant glo bamboo 'regular' and 'long' sensitive bladder pads are very well-suited to the heavy-duty period stuff 🏋️‍♂️. Very good and supportive undies. They’re comfortable and gave me the confidence of going out on day 2. However, we’re not here to shame you for your choices – applicators are very helpful in securing the tampon inside your vagina, which is especially useful if you've never tried tampons before. So whether you choose to go with or without, we’re here for you!💕

Absorbing as much blood as a super plus-sized tampon, these reusable pads mean business. We were pleased with their leakage protection (so no need to worry if you plan on exercising) and the fact they’re made from natural materials like bamboo, which proved to be soft too. In the lab, we measured the amount of liquid each pad was able to hold and timed how long it took to be fully absorbed. We also assessed whether any visible shrinkage was seen after washing the reusable ones, too.
