Pixie Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual Pads - Reusable Mini Size 5 Pack - Certified Organic Cotton Top Layer - Snap Wings for Secure Fit - Machine Washable - Wet Bag Included

About a year ago my skin became very sensitive to many of my usual cosmetics, clothes, underwear and even disposable pads. It got to the point where I had to discard everything and start again. I started searching for a solution to disposable pads and was surprised to find so many reusable ones. Unfortunately, many of them had a fleece liner which I have also reacted too. I came across a UK company that sold cotton pads but they were out of stock and did not know when they would be available again. I did however, purchase a dedicated soak box for reusable pads from them. I then looked again and came across these cotton cloth pads from the Pixie Cup Store, on Amazon. What a delight! No dye, no fleece, no microfiber, just pure white cotton next to my skin. Fantastic. They have a waterproof base that does not touch my skin. I ended up getting two packs, one of the mini's and one of the medium size. I do prefer the mini's because the medium are a bit longer and sometimes fold over at the end when putting them on, it's easy enough to straighten them out though. Having said that, both packs are useful because they both work with different flows. They are easy to keep clean. I soak them immediately after using them, in the dedicated pad, wash box. I pop a bundle together in a laundry bag, and then the washing machine, on a cool cycle if soaking has not been enough. I sometimes dry them on low for a short while in the dryer, and air dry them further till I can put them away. I am so happy with these pads. They are comfortable, gentle against my skin and have solved the issue I had with disposable pads. They are also much better for the environment. Sadly, the stitching on one of the pads has started to unravel. I could have contacted Amazon, as they were the sellers and, I know they would have changed the whole pack. This seemed a waste to me, so I emailed the company, Pixie, directly and they were lovely. It would seem I have a dud one and even though I have said I did not need a replacement pad as it is still usable, they are still going to send a replacement. They were a pleasure to deal with. I will certainly be buying more pads from them in the future as I trust their products and their Company.

I have had vaginal hell with disposable pads for donkeys years on periods, and with the oh so delightful odours and discharges from perimenopause and frequent utis. Even organic ones. Absolute no. My vagina was grumbly and complaining and demonstrating her contempt like a surly teenager only with a dry parched Sahara desert vibe lol. In desperation I tried to find reusable pads, small ones that are organic and not dyed, and saw these pale cotton numbers from Pixie and thought yeah I want some of that magic Pixie lady pads magic and bought them. Well, a few wears in and I'm not itching and yes still leaky and dischargey, and dry but the soreness and itching has died down, and it's such a relief, a bit like being forced to listen to boybands on repeat for thirty five years and suddenly getting a hit of Kraftwerk. They really are that good. I wash them in organic perfume free soap by hand and soak/rinse, and air dry on the shower rail, its just the right size to fasten them onto lol. No stain remover, no laundry liquid, no not when they go down there! I might try organic baby laundry liquid at some point. Yes it's a bit icky to wash them and not throw them in the dryer, but the softness, comfort, fit and a great reduction in sore itching makes them a must have. Thank you Pixie! 😊

Love them great material and product just wish they had them in black

Love these, they are much more comfortable and absorbent than normal pads and can handle really heavy flow with no leaks. Easy to clean, rinse them in cold water, then soak cold hand wash powder and water for a few hours and all done. They can be a faff to get try without a tumble dryer in a wetter cold climate, so I do cheat and tumble dry and so far, so good no issues whatsoever.

These pads have changed my period! I used to hate normal plastic pads, they’d rub and leak, not to mention how toxic they are… but these pixie pads are brilliant, so incredibly soft, I’ve invested around £100 in reusable period products, pads, pixie cups, and they are brilliant. Feel so much more natural, they wash a dream, I just soak them in some oxi and warm water before putting them on a cold wash to get rid of staining, and they are like brand new! Just make sure you thoroughly air dry them before next use but they are so absorbent and comfy! I use the L ones on a heavy day, but they’re great at night too, no leaks! Cannot recommend them enough, definitely girl approved! 🥰

I recently had a pregnancy loss and I had to wear traditional pad for the prolonged bleeding but those irritated my skin and my cramps worse, I thought my bad cramps was just part of the process). But when switch to this the irritation went away almost immediately and the cramps eased off. The material is soft and very absorbant. I've initially bought the regular set but have now bought the overnight as well. I do wish there was an in between size and absorbency between the regular pad and the overnight version

They are very comfortable. I have had problems wearing pads for a while but you know I only needed them for 2 weeks every 6-7 weeks. Anyways I had a medical issue recently that meant wearing normal pads were painful and Extremely uncomfortable and I looked everywhere for something that would help make the month less agony and more bearable. They were really good. Only thing is they are very large and thick (for good reason) but if your to wear them with legging it is visible bump seen from front to back. Apart from that brilliant!!

These do not stay in place and are therefore very uncomfortable. Please don't waste your money as I did.

Comfortable, well made and stays put. Will be buying more.

Pain in the butt to clean but worth it in the end. Organic Rael disposables were still contributing to itching. I haven’t been itching with these that includes using the small ones as a panty liner. Note: they still stain after immediate wash in cold water. I haven’t tried soaking them in vinegar water yet, I will give that a try. I don’t have heavy periods anymore, but works well for medium flow. I have been hang drying them and takes a good 24 hrs

You couldn’t rip these from my cold dead hands. I swear by them and tell everyone about them. My cramps have decreased, they’re soooo comfortable and absorbent, they don’t slide or slip, and you don’t smell like a fish market. 10/10

I love these. Great price considering the longevity of them! I used to buy organic cotton single-use pads, and it can get pretty pricey. I also didnt like how the single-use pads would slide around and get shifted, with or without wings. (Many pairs of underwear/shorts/ pants/ skorts have been ruined because of pads squishing and moving around.) Enter these reusable ones: In an effort to be more eco-friendly and less wasteful, I decided that these pads would be my last purchase for a long while. I’m thrilled to say theyre comfy, very soft, low profile, dont shift like the single-use pads, theyre leak-proof, easy to wash, and it’s easy to fold the used ones and button them. My one caveat: I don’t like the bag it comes with. It feels cheap in comparison to the pads, but I use a separate organic cotton bag to keep them in. I also think a dual-compartment bag would be such a good idea. One compartment for the clean pads, and one compartment for the used ones. Also, please know that they will not look as pretty as they first do when you buy them. They will get staining, no matter how vigilant you are. I keep a spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide in my laundry room and bathroom to spray them after usage. Then, I will throw them into my next load of whites (or darks) and yes, I do machine-dry them. I have zero issues doing this, but they also air-dry flat quickly, as well. If youre looking for a good alternative without the chemicals, these are it. I love them and don’t miss my old pads at all. I keep single-use pads for guests, just in case, but theyre not something I use. Tips: -Buy more than one 5-pack! I have two of the 5-packs, and might get a third depending on how my flow is next month! -Learn which way you like to fold them and button them. That way, when theyre used, it’s easier to store them for later washing. Unbutton before you throw in the wash. -Hydrogen peroxide like I mentioned above. A spray form is what I use to generously douse before throwing in the wet bag, or in the washer. Helps remove blood stains. Overall, Picky Girl approved!!

I wasn’t sure about these. I am a senior and need a small pad on occasions. The cotton is soft they fit perfectly and wash well. I washed mine in cold water on hand wash/delicate and then just let them air dry. It doesn’t take long. No more nasty stick ons for me. I hope they hold up, I only need them sometimes but the times I have worn them they are very comfortable. They can slip a little but not usually enough to matter and only when pulling your pants up or down. Cute color and the buttons are adjustable which is also nice. I was afraid the buttons would be uncomfortable but I never knew they were there. It’s also nice to have the little pouch to keep them in or to take one with you in your purse. At this time I would recommend, if anything changes, I will de to my review A bit pricy so I hope they last long enough to warrant the cost
