Organyc - 100% Certified Organic Cotton Feminine Pads - Sanitary Napkin with Wings for Women, Moderate Flow, Regular Absorbency, 60 Count (6 Pack of 10 Count)

Organyc is my favorite brand of feminine hygiene products. Their products are high quality and you get what you pay for. When I decided to switch high quality, organic products I researched different brands and when I tried this brand I like the packaging, liked the how comfortable they were, and didn’t have problems with leaks. Would recommend and would buy if you are trying to make healthy choices in feminine hygiene products.

Long Story:I have formerly been an Always girl as that was what my mom purchased for me when I started this "journey into womanhood" (Always and O.B.). While over the course of what are now many years, I have used a large variety of feminine products as most women have due to the usual reasons: "borrowing" from a friend/relative/bathroom buddy stranger/co-worker, unexpected start thus creating the need to visit a public restroom in search of the hopefully working change enabled dispensary, having a leaking accident that leads you to question your current brand of choice, conferences with friends and deciding to give one of their "swear-by" products a shot, etc.Now I started needing these products back in 1993, so needless to say (I think?), the market and product options have changed quite a bit since then. What I always liked about the Always were the wings--I have a heavy flow and leaks could be frequent problems for me there, the wings really helped with preventing that, and with panty bunching. I know most women seem to prefer tampons, but with my flow, that was never really a good option for me. I have to wear at least a light days whenever I decide to go that route, which isn't often. (Though I do sometimes use them--currently I'm stocked up on the Tampax Pearls. I will be giving the Organyc brand ones a try as soon as I need to re-stock those and I will let you know how that compares then.)The past several years, however, the Always pads have become more and more plasticized. As someone who already questions the environmental impacts of all of this (and is curious about the menstrual rag), I have found myself wondering what better alternatives are out there. And now may be a good time to mention that the supposed increased capacity to squelch up the blood flow by utilizing sodium polyacrylate--the chemical found in diapers, doggy training pads, and fake snow (yeah, you read that right)--in the "new and improved" Always (and many other brand) pads is exceedingly diminished by the uppermost layer of plastic ("ergonomically designed with a pattern created to allow breathe-ability while ensuring the blood is able to flow down and be absorbed" theoretically) wherein the tiny holes are not actually adequate in allowing that to happen. We should also mention that what these products are supposed to be soaking up/wicking away/containing is not just freely flowing blood. There is vaginal mucus, skin cells, uterine tissue, AND blood. So the ad campaigns demonstrating the viability of their products in the company claims depicting blue water being poured onto and absorbed by the products are incredibly inadequate.I, wanting a greener and more capable product, purchased both these and the Seventh Generation ultra-thin regular with wings (http://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Generation-Pads-Regular-Ultra-Thin/dp/B000QV9UOK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406781313&sr=8-3&keywords=seventh+generation+ultra+thin+pads+with+wings) as well as the Seventh Generation overnights. I chose two of the Seventh Generation products because there were more reviews at the time. I also was mistaken in thinking both product lines featured organically produced materials. Seventh Generation products are cotton and are chlorine free. That's it. They are not necessarily any healthier for the environment, just maybe, for you.Organycs are made with organically produced cotton, and unlike the Seventh Generation products which are packaged in more and heavier duty plastic, they use a 78% biodegradable biopolymer for wrapping. As I have not tried any other Organyc products yet, I am only comparing the two almost identical products; i.e.: thin pads for moderate flow with wings. Both brands were comparable to the Always, and in fact out-performed in terms of actually controlling, containing, and absorbing the flow. Both were also nearly identical to be honest. However, the Organycs are actually made from organic cotton, and that was the real winning point for me. They also had a better wrap design--the Seventh Generation requires opening the plastic wrapper, then peeling the long strip of paper off as well as the paper over the wings; conversely, the Organycs had the long strip of paper attached to the biopolymer so you only needed to peel the wings as you remove it from the wrapper which I found more convenient. (Also, it should be noted that the Seventh Generation ones are prideful about using non-chlorine cotton, yet there is a little warning on the package about removing the paper strips quickly and adequately as the paper contains chlorine. .... hummm.)<B>Short Story:</B>These are great! They do their job--even better than the big name brands, and they are made from organic cotton, not tested on animals, and are about as biodegradable as you can get!! They are also priced competitively in the market, making them a feasible option for anyone, I just wish they were available on store shelves everywhere already!!!

Realized what the difference was, the ones that were good had the yellow corner that read "now even cleaner and drier", the ones that disintegrated didn't.Updated review: seems that some of the pads start to pill/disintegrate around the edges and it gets stuck to your skin from the glue somehow. Really not sure where to turn now, so disappointed.Original review: Comfy, no irritation, no leaks, all organic cotton.

I’ve been using these for several months now. I decided to purchase these cotton pads after my O.B. recommended the switch. I started to notice a irritation down there and was wondering what was it.I tend to have sensitive skin and I don’t know how I didn’t make the connection sooner that those brands I was using was the problem.As soon as I used these, the irritation went away. I also find the material soft and I find that it holds a good amount. I don’t like to wait too long to change but they are not uncomfortable if you needed to wear them a little longer.Only thing I don’t like is that each package brings such small quantity. Also, would prefer that the sticky part worked a little better.Overall, happy and will keep purchasing. Amazon prices have been better than my local drugstore as well. But difference is minimal.

These pads are highly compatible with my skin, unlike previous ones that caused irritation. While these cotton pads are excellent, I would prefer if the box contained a larger quantity.

This sanitary pad is made of organic cotton. But it's too thin and prone to leakage. Besides, it tends to split in half. It's not very useful.

Absolutely love these the wings are great super thin too which is nice

My gynecologist recently established that I'm allergic/extremely sensitive to the chemicals found in many commercial disposable pads. Companies are apparently not required to list the ingredients they use in feminine products, and my doctor said sensitivity is fairly common! Mine was awful though - itching, burning and pain during my period that even kept me awake some nights! I was tested for everything under the sun - STDs, yeast infection, bacterial infection, etc. and nothing...which meant no easy fix. Or so it seemed! My doctor suggested I try organic cotton pads. I searched around and found the Organyc brand and ordered six boxes in a leap of faith - I NEVER wanted to use those old name-brands again!Sure enough, this product changed that time of the month for me! ZERO irritation during any part of my cycle. I couldn't be happier and more relieved - these pads are a lifesaver. They are very comfortable, very absorbent, and good for me AND the environment.The only downsides I saw is that they are very pricey compared to many brands. I had to shop around on Amazon a bit to find the best deal. I wish they sold them in bulk rather than only 10 to a box. I also found them a bit small. I formerly used Always Infinity, which are very long and extremely absorbent. These are much smaller front-to-back, so I'm a little more careful about changing them and checking their placement frequently. To remedy this, I ordered the larger overnight pads from Organyc, so that should help! I think it's personal preference. These do stay in place very well, I just prefer a larger pad.
