August Organic Menstrual Pads - Super Absorbency, 96 HSA FSA Eligible, Fragrance Free, Hypoallergenic Pads with Wings (6 Boxes of 16)

Genuinely the best pads I've used in a long time. Went down a rabbit hole looking for a pad that doesn't have a lawsuit against them and/or has harmful flesh eating chemicals. This was one of the only ones... and it's VERY GOOD. It's soft and not stiff like natracare or whatever it's called pads. These I will continue to repurchase. The adhesive is great, I don't have that smell of blood. Lasts it's just great, I'd recommend.

Best product I’ve come across for my time of the month. It doesn’t itch or feel painful after all day wear. Comes in a nice packaging and I way prefer this than to my drugstore basics.

I switched over from Always to August as a cleaner nontoxic choice. These pads are worth the switch. They are extremely soft but not fall apart soft. They absorb well as I use them through the night. The first few nights I can bleed fairly heavy and this held up. I was nervous to try these if I’m being honest because I was so used to my Always night time pads. I’m glad I made the choice to get these instead. The adhesive is stickier which I like so my pads stay put. There are also four smaller panty adhering wings (two at the front of the panty liner and two at the bottom) rather than just two long short wings. I also don’t get any uncomfortable or irritating chaffing from wearing these for an extended period of time or if I decide I just want to wear a pads all day instead of tampons. They have zero scent that I have noticed which is nice. Even my old pads that said no scent still had some sort of smell to them. These are the real deal and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Please do your body a favor and get these instead of whatever toxic major corporation brand you’ve been using! Keep your flower healthy 🌸 I also purchased the regular and super of this brands tampons and plan to switch to those instead of Tampax. I hope this review helps anyone that needs the extra push. I spent quite a few hours researching the best nontoxic brands and settled here.

They wear more breathable then traditional pad materials. They are not as absorbant as a thicker pad so changing frequency increases if your flow is heavy. On the negative side the adhesive is horrible. The wrapper can stay stuck to the back of the pad. Also my fault but the similar name led me to buy the smaller night size not the Night Long.

I purchased this so I may have pads for my female friends etc and I find it nice that it is eco friendly

Overall the pad itself is okay. The packaging is terrible. The wrapper breaks off into pieces.

These work great for being a thin pad. However I know that they are packaged in biodegradable material, but it almost disintegrates when you open them. Lots of clean up if not opened carefully.

I switched over to these maybe 3-4 months ago because I was dazzled by the 100% organic cotton and it being all toxin free. I used to religiously only wear reusable cotton pads during my period but the past year and a half I switched to disposable because I got lazy and tired of washing them (I lived in a spot without an in-unit washer and dryer)Anyways I bought these and didn’t notice anything at first but the past 2-3 periods after I finished bleeding my vagina would have a tingly / burning sensation. At first I thought I had a yeast infection / candida overgrowth so I did the whole monistat thing and started taking antifungal herbs and a probiotic for vagina health. Which helped for a month. But then my last two current periods that tingly/ burn came back.I noticed the last time when I opened up the pad I smelled a vinegary smell on the pad and immediately googled like menstrual pad irritation/ itch/ burn which led to my discovery of PAD RASH. And just went down a worm whole that even though pad companies claim there toxin free / or 100% organic cotton it can still bring irritation to your vagina / cause an allergy. I’m currently using diaper rash creme with zinc oxide to soothe my irritated skin (read online / Reddit that it can help) and so far it’s feeling betterSo re purchased some reusable cotton pads and going to see if this upcoming period it solves the problem :/Just thought I’d put this out there incase anyone else has a negative reaction …. And also smells like these pads have vinegar on them! Maybe it’s a “natural” alternative to pesticides. My friend also said vinegar is sued for odor control so maybe they use that instead of the fragrances like Always Pads does.
