Reddit reviews Reusable Waterproof Bamboo Charcoal Menstrual Pads Sets-Panty Liner Regular Flow Heavy Flow (Yixing, l)

I found period panties too light for anything but the last day when I think my period is over. I do wear them with reusable pads at night for an extra sense of security...and because I spent a fair amount of money on them. (edit - I have very heavy periods and when I leak, it tends to be at night and only from the back of my pad. I could have a pad that goes up the entire length of my spine and I’d still end up with a drop of blood at the top...right where the pad ends.)

I picked some reusable pads from Amazon (link below) and when I wear them it’s like fluffy angels are coming down to rest in my panties and allow me to have the closest experience to a tampon commercial I’ll likely ever have. If you haven’t tried them, you are MISSING OUT. So soft. So luxurious. I canceled my Kotex subscribe-and-save and just ordered an extra set of reusables. The local women’s shelter will be getting most of what’s left of my stash.

This is the Amazon seller I got it from. They have panty liners up to heavy flow pads, so make sure that's right before purchasing! I still have yet to try them out, so you might want to look through the reviews. Good luck!

Basically they are a layer of waterproof PUL (also used for cloth diapers) and then layers of bamboo or cotton for the absorbant pad area. You can get ones with or without snaps to secure them around your underwear. They are thicker than regular pads but softer and less irritating.

1. Picking the right size can depend on how much you want the pads to absorb. I have a couple of different sizes, you can get a variety for overnight, heavy flow, med flow, or light flow.
   
   
2. I got my first cloth pads from Amazon because they were cheap and great as a trial run. I'm in Canada, but these are the same ones I have on Amazon.com: Link to variety pack and Overnight size
   
   
3. You change them like you would disposable pads, depending on your flow. They will feel damp but they absorb really well and are superior for wicking away moisture in comparison to disposables. I'd suggest paring them with period underwear or a menstrual cup if you are worried about leaks, some people wear two pairs of underwear to keep them in place. They don't have a sticky backing so it can take some getting used to. Overall they're way more comfortable than disposable pads.
   
   
4. A decent price to pay depends on what you're looking for. The ones on Amazon are cheap but they function well. When you want to upgrade consider if you want something made from organic materials, cotton, bamboo, hand-made off Etsy, etc. They will affect the prices.

Anyone who commands another to calm down is self projecting.

The majority of homeless are clustered in urban areas where public restrooms with the necessary sanitary items are abound. "Get a clue".

The SINGLE USE aspect is what is taxed. There. I used caps so your tiny eyes can see it. I'm assuming this because your tiny eyes must match your tiny one track brain.

​

The three states I listed with a condom tax entirely debunks your own point about how condoms ARE NOT taxed and present the possibility for a condom tax to be present elsewhere. (Had to capitalize, tiny eyes, tiny brain.) and my points about sustainability are sound reasons, in my opinion, for the tax to continue. Additionally, you are right. Condoms aren't a necessity. Just like the single use convenience. You're also right about resources not being abundant, hence the REUSE of the materials and the subsequent SAVINGS for poor women to butter sustain themselves.
