Heart Felt Bamboo Menstrual Pads
So I wanted to get more sanitary pads since I really like the one I got, but I wanted to try a different brand. The Heart Felt ones had good reviews and I get 5 for $30 which I think is decent since the other one cost $10 for one.
The other pad was the Gladrags. Compare to that, the Heart Felt are a bit bigger. They don't have inserts like the Gladrags. I think these pads are good enough as liners and for regular flow. You could use it on heavy flow days, but you would have to change them more often. The bamboo part is a dark grey felt-like padding. The rest is what I think is nylon and the button fastener is plastic. The nylon can be a tad slippery on the underwear though. You can avoid or minimize this if you wear a more tight underwear. The button isn't as easy to use as the one on Gladrags, but its not impossible.
These pads do absorb quite bit though. Since the pad is black in color, and the other material is nylon, I have no problems with staining so far. There is a review that complained about the smell. Sure, the pad does have a weird smell, but its hardly strong. It seems to be gone after a few uses or at least I never ever notice it. Another review complained about the lack of proper materials and manufacturing information. This is true, all the was included in the clear bag was a Heart Felt card, and the pads. It is a little disconcerting to not have that information.
Overall, these pads have done really well so far. They have no problems going in the wash and dryer. The shape is still like it was when I first got them and no stains.
