PlushPad Minky Cloth Pad, Medium Flow, Set of 4 by Talulah Bean (Groovy/Flower Power)

These unfortunately leak! First ones I have purchased that roll on the edges as well!

Talulah Bean Cloth pads are an absolutely fantastic brand of cloth pad. Made in the USA by Erica, who is, by the way, totally FDA compliant.I have a medium flow 9.5” Plushpad from Talulah Bean, and I'd like to tell you my thoughts.Firstly, it arrived in the mail SUPER quick. Within 10 days from USA to the UK, which is pretty quick. Inside the mailing bag, the pad was wrapped up in a paper bag, with the pad in its packaging inside. The packaging comprises of a plastic 'bag' with the Talulah Bean name/logo printed onto the card top, which is stapled to the bag. So essentially, the pad has is able to be displayed in a store and be protected from wandering hands. But it also means that the Plushpad has been stored and shipped in a clean bag, without any outside dirt/dust being able to contaminate it.The pad is 9.5” long, topped with plush. If you're not familiar with plush, think soft and fluffy. Very luxurious feeling and a stain resistant fabric (also goes by the name of Minky). The core is made from organic cotton and backed with breathable fleece, so you can be sure that not only will you stay comfortable down there, but that your pad will not shift around.Being a medium flow pad, it is suitable for light and regular days, but also days where your heavy flow has slowed down. The plush topping is brilliant for holding onto the flow, if like me, you tend to have the odd gush. There is a central stitch line through the middle of the pad which helps to guide flow into the middle, and down to the core. On the wings, there are two sets of snaps for adjustment. If you have a narrow pair of underwear, then use the tighter setting, and vice versa.Because plush is a stain resistant fabric, you don't need to do anything like stain treating or pre-soaking. I love this about the fabric. So soft and very easy to care for. If you're lazy when it comes to cloth pad care, then this is a pad for you. Plush also comes in a huge array of prints and colours, so if like me, you like a pretty pad, you won't be disappointed with the choice.The plushpad is serged around the edges which makes is very slim and not noticeable under tight clothing. Erica's sewing is impeccable and absolutely flawless. She's a very talented seamstress and this shows with her cloth pads.I love the wrap around wings, which are great if you tend to bleed close to the edge. Gives a little extra protection and certainly makes me feel more secure. The Plushpad hasn't once leaked on me, even when it dealt with a pretty big gush that really, I should have worn a heavy pad for. It washes so well, time and time again, without any problems.Washing is super easy peasy. Pop into a washing machine and set off a cold rinse, then warm wash, and a second cold rinse, then you're done. Hang to dry. That's it!I would absolutely recommend Talulah Bean and their cloth pads. Excellent products, excellent quality and brilliant price.I was not paid for this review. I am a previous customer of Talulah Bean and wanted to share my experience.

This is by far the softest pad I have every had, and I love it! I've never had a minky pad before and I could not get over just how soft it really was. Best fabric ever! But to the serious portion, inset TMI warning here.To start with I'd like to point on how this pad never moved, and I really mean it never moved, at all, no matter what I was doing. I wore it in 2 settings, once overnight and once through a regular activity level kind of day, meaning I just relaxed around the house some then went and ran errands and played with some dogs. Through both of these the pad stayed put. I was very impressed at how well it stayed in place through the night, and during the day there were actually moments I had to check and make sure it was still even there because I couldn't feel it bunching up or moving around as I was active. Above it's softness, that's my favorite part of this pad. I have others that stay fine while I'm not doing much, but begin to bunch the more active I become; or slowly and steadily slide further back leaving me eventually unprotected. (And for underwear comparison, I was wearing basic cotton briefs for the times I wore the pad.)As for how absorbent the pad was, it held it's own there too. I don't have a very heavy flow too often, and I was light to medium during this period. Overnight I had a fairly light flow which of course it handled perfectly. Through the day of wearing it my flow was fairly moderate and the pad did a wonderful job then too. I had no issues with any kind of leaking or mess with this pad. I also didn't have problems "feeling wet" with this pad which was great, and really I forgot I was wearing a pad after a while because it was honestly so comfortable.I tend to soak my pads for about 12-24 hours before washing them, depending on when I have time to do some laundry. This go round the pad soaked for about 12 hours, and I washed it along with a regular load of laundry and set it out to air dry. It cleaned up really well, with actually only a little bit of staining this wear. It dried quickly and just as soft as before it was washed.Overall I honestly can't find anything that I didn't like with this pad. Because of that fact I plan to buy a few more for myself as a Christmas gift. For anyone thinking about using cloth pads I would highly recommend a minky!

These pads are not only soft but stay snapped in place and hold everything they need to. Not only did I have right hand surgery (my primary hand) but I ended up having a surprise come right along the night before. At first I was worried, but there was nothing better I could have had or used during this time. Again not only are they soft and don't cause any type of discomfort but these pads were easy to use one handed and stayed in place while traveling through airports and airplanes and numerous cars. I never thought anything would be so soft, comfortable and easy to use! I used to worry so much about leakage or problems with store products and I've never had this problem with Talulah Bean and they wash up wonderfully! I will never go back to store products and may never stray from this company.

I love these! Very comfy and stay in place.
