How are these SO much better than normal disposable pads?

I cannot stand the smell of menstrual fluid on disposable pads, its horrible. With these cotton pads I do not smell that at all!

Well, they save you money once you've bought them! The start-up is more, but I think they are worth it. If you have a problem with rashing out from disposable pads, these solve that problem (more air flow, softer...). They come in cute colors. You don't have to unwrap them in the bathroom- making it a little less awkward (although you do have to have something to carry the used ones in). You don't have to spend time at the store when you need a pad. They are adjustable- you can add more inserts for heavy flow days, and use fewer inserts for lighter days. They are machine washable, so you can throw them in the laundry (which may take care of any stinky bathroom trashcans). You should give them a try! If they don't work out for you, just throw them away like the disposable ones, problem solved.

I break out in rashes with disposable so really like these. I have used these for about 6 months they come clean in the wash with either cold or warm.

1) No odor. These smell the same as underwear because they breathe like underwear.2) Easier on the environment.3) Quiet. No crinkling sounds when you move in your chair or walk.4) Happier husband, because he never has to go to "that aisle" of the store for you.5) Much lower lifetime cost.The only disadvantage I find is that these tend to creep out of position during vigorous fitness walking. So switch to a Keeper during exercise. Also, with a do-over, I would switch to the next larger size.

I believe it helps the pads last longer, but sadly will not replace getting new pads. that...I believe will still have to be done.. But it does work!! I believe it will only give you a couple extra weeks, but that to me is still a savings.

I have not read about the pads wearing out. The foam is very dense - more so than a couch cushion. It springs back to its original shape fairly quickly. When we go front facing I plan on using these as bleacher cushions.

I use the blue pack of pads and they work very well. I am a frequent visitor to the potty and I have used these for about 3 years.

Is there some kind of chemical cleaning solution in these pads? Can you use your own solution?

Not designed for use with the disposable sani pads, but I do not have this brand so cannot say the replacement pads wouldn't fit for sure. My guess is that they will not work because I can see that the replacement pads are much thicker than the disposable ones, so the steam might not penetrate enough. Plus, if you are using a spray, it may make the replacement pads hard to clean. I would ask the manufacturer. They must have a Q&A website.

Yes they are great because you can remove them with plastic diapers on so they stay dry and/or change the pad. You have the benefit of the diapers for any big "accidents"and the changing or removal of pads keep the skin dry. They also wick away moisture to prevent skin breakdown and if arranged well to prevent leaks help keep bed dry overnight if large amount of urine flows out.

The pads last quite a long time, I didn't replace first set yet and it's been months. The pad adhesive creates a tight bond and no conductive gel is required. But extra pads are worthwhile and inexpensive.

HII LOVE those pads. They are made of really quality material,and are NOT flimsy.After use I rinse dirt off, then addn a TSP of bleach to a quart of cold water, and soak themfo 1/2 hour, or so, tehn washhh it together with the white laundry, and hang it up to dry.This pad probably lasts a long time.Linda in MI

The pads have a thin backing and the top is absorbent. The pads are soft and pliable--not very thick and definitely not stiff. I often put a pad on my davenport under a throw as my furry kids often sleep there.

They are very nice velour pads. I hate that pleather stuff. Totally worth the money, 100× better than stock.

Yes I think these would help you. Pads are made of materials that do tend to irritate down there. Just remember do not put bleach directly on these pads. I hope this was helpful.

No, because the pads are totally different. I like the idea that I can wash the pads. I have three pads and interchange them. Hope this helps.

These work awesome for small dogs instead of disposable puppy pads. I have a chihuahua & and bo-chi and they share two of these pads side by side. I do change them daily. I highly recommend them!

Exactly (per earlier answer). The pads on here are close enough to generic that you can literally buy them at the dollar store.

No, these pads work much better wet or at least dampened. Ater use, and when left to dry, they can become hard as a rock!

I've had mine for three months now and have never had to change the pads. Only rinse them off once.
