A beautifully soft pad. While it's very large, it's so so comfortable and reassuring to wear.
My mother and I care for my grandmother, who has fairly severe urinary incontinence, and having got very dismayed at the huge number of disposable pads we were sending to landfill, we decided to try getting her to use your biggest megapads instead. With one extra insert, one pad can keep her dry all day on a good day, and she is now only using disposables at night, which has cut her used pad output by about 80%, and we're working up to using them at night too. We have also discovered that they work best without the poppers done up underneath, as being a larger lady, the extra width of the wings gives her more coverage, and the pads stay put anyway, which is great.
I suffer from both stress incontinence and an irritable bladder which
necessitates the constant wearing of pads. Unhappy with the cost both
financially and environmentally I looked for an alternative to
disposables that would be comfortable, washable and affordable. I bought
a Mega Pad just to try out and I just wish I had bought it long ago. It
is very comfortable next to the skin (no chaffing - bliss) and the
'nappy rash' I had has disappeared. I have saved myself lots of money,
helped our planet and no longer need to feel embarrassed having to buy
disposables in shops. Thank you so much for an excellent product, please
contact me when there are some more in stock' Chris
Although I bought some mega pads which are the largest pads available and are advertised to be effective for urinary incontinence, I've been using them and have found them ineffective. They are not able to absorb the leaks properly, let alone a full bladder.
Also, they are too expensive for what they are.
I am sorry to hear you haven't been satisfied with the Mega pad. It sounds like you must have near total urinary incontinence, which this pad is not designed for (and it does say in the listing that it won't take a whole bladder). The Mega pad was designed for the heaviest menstrual flow, and in 15 years we have never heard of it being unable to cope with menstrual flooding. We do have plenty of customers who love the Mega pad for weak bladder issues, but it sounds to me like your leaks are just too much for it, and perhaps you should be looking at specifically designed incontinence nappies. We are experts in menstrual flow pads, and although large numbers of our customers use them for weak bladder leaks, they are not designed specifically with that in mind. I do hope you find something to suit your needs.
I didn't realise the inner insert wasn't fixed in. It tangled up while in the wash and it's impossible to get back in place. The shape of the pad (while effective and correct) means you just can't get your hand in to straighten out the insert. The back end of the pad is not open so you can't even pull it straight at both ends. Really not very good. I feel like whoever invented this, didn't fully test it.
So sorry to hear you had this problem with the Mega Pad. I think it may be an issue to do with the size of your hands (weird as that may sound!) or maybe you got a pad that was sewn a little tighter than others, or maybe a combination of the two. Please do take a look on the listing page where there is a video showing you how to put the insert back in place. I will dm you with further help

Very pleased with this product. I use them as daily liners and they are a great eco alternative to disposable towels.
Very soft and comfortable to wear. Neat carry bag.
Perfect as usual!
Very comfortable, glad to have come across these. Wash well
Best colour and felt secure wearing the pad with the leaks I had with a cup.
I bought 2 mediums from here a couple of years ago. They worked so wonderfully I bought 2 more a few months later. All 4 are still in excellent condition! I treated myself to 2 in a bigger size which just arrived & are so soft, I can't wait to use them. They came really quickly too! Every woman deserves this level of menstrual comfort.
This is a great non PUL pad for my heavy flow days. It's soft, high quality material. Vicky was very supportive and helpful when I placed my personalised order. I am very happy!

These reusable pads are a game changer for stress incontinence. I feel so much more confident using them. Very comfortable, stay in place and easy to wash. Will not be returning to disposable pads. Highly recommended
I am absolutely loving the HonourYourFlow pads that I have purchased. as a menopausal-ish woman with a very irregular flow & really appreciate using their organic cottons pads over usual tampons & pads.
They are easy to wash & always look perfect afterwards.
I use mini & regular pads - am a size 12
Have been using reusable pads for awhile. These however are the best I've found they are so soft. Really absorbent, no smells. Feel super confident wearing them. 100% recommend this brand.
Great Little sanitiser to use while travelling! Using it to store my disc in too
Lovely and soft well made pads work very well most of the time which was what I wanted as worth a lot not to use plastic too often as I am sensitive to it , so using products with plastic in as little time as possible is much better
customers survive was amazingly helpful thank you
Such a stunning colour and so comfortable!
