Super absorbent!!
Make sure to order the right size the bigger the size the more sheets are used in the pad for absorbing. I found the medium size good for normal flow. If you have a Heavy flow go with a larger size. Also i've found that cotton briefs work best to minimize any shifting.Step by step on using effectively1st. Make sure to wash in cold or warm machine wash before first use. Do not use any fabric softener sheets or liquid, it affects the absorbency.2nd. Dry on low heat or air dry3nd. Once put in place keep an eye on when it's time to change. You will know when it's time when it wants to slide around. It slides around because of it's increase in weight, it has absorbed it's limit.4th. As soon as possible rinse with cold water. Add hydrogen peroxide on the grey part let sit for a minute. Rise with cold water till runs clear. Squeeze out excess water. Put in with next laundry load.

They are NOT water proof...
So, I bought these and no other, because I saw a video of someone claiming these were water proof. You would think that in this day and age, they would be. Well, they aren't. I bought the Camelia flower ones. Five came In my order along with a paper with instructions. I hand washed them and air dried them before use. I was excited to use these, I have to say, and then I stained myself really bad... So, they are nice and look good, but you MUST know that you'll stain your clothes. They also move all over the place because they obviously do not have adhesive or velcro to keep them in place. I had to use very tight underwear in order to keep them from sliding. I really wanted to love these and be happy with my purchase, but unfortunately I'm not. Do not recommend*UPDATE*I made my order on May 30, 2017. On July 4th I was contacted by Wegreeco(Company) to express how sorry they were in regards to my experience with the reusable pads. They asked me more in detailed questions about my experience and I replied. Finally they asked if I'd accept a refund for it. I was totally surprised, because it's not usual that a vendor/company will take their time and reach out to their consumers, nowadays, but I'm very pleased they did. I accepted and they reiterated, how they wanted to improve their merchandise and make sure that the quality met our satisfaction. I'm very pleased with this and am now open to trying out their future, improved reusable pads.

Major design flaw, don’t buy.
The seams are stitched through the layers with plain cotton thread! This completely ruins the “waterproofing”! Once you fill a pad the cotton thread absorbs the blood and you will find two hilarious and upsetting dotted lines of red on your underwear (assuming of course you find it before it becomes a mortifying incident). The blood leaking through the stitching makes these absolutely defective. In the beginning, I liked these. Yes, they’re bulky and slip a bit since they’re not adhesive but they’re absorbent and soft, comfortable and easy to get used to. But unless they fix the stitching leak I cannot recommend and I will have to continue my search for the perfect eco friendly reusable pad.

Get fabric tape, baby powder, and unscented soap for cleaning and you are GOOD TO GO
I love these. So so much. I use them with menstrual cups as a just-in-case measure. In fact, this is the second set of 5 mediums that I have purchased from Wegreeco. Three things you will need to invest in to ensure best results: double sided fabric tape, deodorizing powder, and unscented soap for cleaning. The fabric tape is essential to keep the slick outer fabric from slipping when you walk. I use 3 tabs, each about 1 inch. One front, one middle, one back. Then I fold the pad up without taking off the other side of the tape and stick it in my bag. Voila, ready to go. You will want deodorizing powder because these pads do trap odor no matter what you do. It's a pitfall of all bamboo-based fabrics. Personally, I use baby powder because if it's good to go on my kid's bottom, it's probably ok for me too. Finally, you want unscented soap for cleaning to prevent any harsh chemicals from causing an infection. One more note: 5 pads is a good number for using these as a just-in-case with menstrual cups, but if you are using them for full on period blood, you will want a set of 10 so you can rotate use, clean, dry without running out. Anyway, these are great and I love them and they make me happier about my period. I hope this helps you make the choice to buy them, and some others from the same company :)

Updated review after trying for several months
UPDATE: Wish this were a positive update, but unfortunately I have to lower my rating/review after months of use. I would not recommend this product. After using more, the sliding back is definitely a problem. I have been using double-sided tape to keep them in place, but that's annoying and inconvenient. They have proven extremely hard to clean unless you clean them immediately after spotting. Even then, it takes some heavy duty scrubbing with a stain remover. They also definitely weigh more than typical liners, which sometimes leads to my undies loosening/stretching out as the day goes on, and makes me suspect this could shorten the shelf-life of my undies over time (stretching out, wearing faster). Lastly, now that the weather has warmed up, I would have to agree with other reviewers who complained that these are no friend to the heat and don't breathe well. Think wool sock for the lady parts. I will most likely be opting for organic cotton liners. Disappointed about the money lost, but a learning experience.OG POST: Like the lower environmental impact that accompanies this product, the length is also just right, and the patterns are sweet. I have to agree with the reviewer(s) who advised wearing a more snug pair of underwear to help keep them in place, and I will admit that after about 20 minutes of walking, the liner I was wearing had slid pretty far back even with snug underwear. If you're on your feet a lot and walking, these might not work for you. I also found them harder to clean than I'd hoped, but definitely not impossible- especially as I wear them with a cup so spotting is minimal. And lastly, I have only worn these in the winter; only one day did I feel "hot" but that may be an issue come summer.

Works REALLY well!
I didn’t think I would love these. Very soft material I don’t feel like I’m wearing any pad, and not hot at all.Was looking for daily panty liner for normal discharges cos I was getting sick of the quality of disposable ones. The adhesive is either too poor that it doesn’t stick well or too strong that it leaves marks on the underwear. And the top material gets separated easily when moving too much. I thought these too big and thick for that. But that’s how I started trying them for my period. Because I was also running out of my usual disposable stock.My photos show the size next to a 9” Tena normal flow pad, a 6” Kotex panty liner and my personal 6” reusable liner. The actual length of this is 7.5” instead of 8”.This thing works VERY well during my light/medium flow menses, and overnight, sometimes more than 12 hrs even. I was so impressed how much it can absorb without leaking. Was also worried about blood flowing to the back when sleeping facing up but nope, no leak/backflow at all when I checked in the morning. Wow. Maybe because of how it goes against the skin.They are so easy to wash off with simple cold water spray. I wash them at the sink, sometimes with a bit of soap, or bring them to the shower with me (kills 2 birds with 1 stone, saves so much time!), till water runs clear when squeezed. Then toss into usual laundry load. Really easy to care for. Doesn’t take as much time and as gross as I initially thought.Some downsides I’ve experienced though:- they don’t take away the smell- I’m used to visually checking gradual progress of my period on white pads to know when it is stopping but I can’t with this. But I think this can be easily overcome by just spraying to check for any red flow while washing- I wish they can come in more pretty sets like this- and also in the smaller and thinner 6-inch liner size which I use daily when not bleedingSince I’m staying home a lot more these days, makes me feel good to be using, and reusing just a few of these. Don’t need to buy packs of pads every month anymore. And they’re pretty.

Better than expected
Surprisingly, it is quite comfortable and good. I LOLed because i bought XL and it is HUGE!! 😂😂 It honestly feel like you are just wearing normal panties coz it doesn't feel like you have pads on. It is good for hours and hours. But slight problem the clip on in just at the bottom so it still has ways to slide up and down but hey, not so bad for something so eco friendly!Quite easy to wash too. Rinse it with running water and put some soap and wash it off until there is no more blood that is retained. Definite worth the price!

I want to love these so bad and everything about them is so ...
I want to love these so bad and everything about them is so quality made. They really do work great. But they do slide around in your underwear a lot. I had to add an extra snap to make them tighter but not everyone happens to have a snap machine lying around like I do.

Fantastic
These are just fantastic. No more icky feeling from using disposables pads! They are easy to clean and obviously reusable. They aren't lying when they say they hold a lot of liquid. Medium and Large are easy to wear, however, I find that the small liners don't stay in place and tend to ride to the back. Overall, awesome product. I am never going back to disposable again!!
