I cannot praise this product highly enough. It has literally changed my life! I have an extremely heavy flow and am also a plus size lady. I wear a size 26-28 on bottom, so I usually have to use 2 "ultra long plus" disposable pads, end to end and overlapping, to handle my flow for about 3 hours. I get frequent flooding in the morning and would generally stain underwear, clothes, beds and seats during my period. Very embarrassing and very limiting in day to day life. I found the mega pad by accident when I was researching reusable sanitary options. The size and shape immediately appealed as it has protective flares in the places I generally leak from. I ordered two just to give them a try. Initially when I received the pads, I was dubious. They seemed a bit bulky and I thought it looked like the poppers would feel uncomfortable. Even still, I had spent money on them and I decided to give them a try.
I cannot express how glad I am that I tried them. I am converted! Zero leaks! Full coverage! Feel dry all the time! Less pain! No irritation! Soft and breathable! I can wear a mega pad for 6 hours!!!!! I don't stain the sheets!!!! These are real revelations for me. They come up perfect from a 60 wash and come out like new from the tumble dryer (on gentle). I had to wear disposables for a while over the weekend and honestly I couldn't wait to get back to my mega pads.
If you are in any doubt, I would say to you, please. Do yourself a favour and just get one to try. I promise you, you will never regret it. It's like really, luxurious, comforting, self-care and honestly it makes having your period so much more manageable and feels like you are actually doing something good for yourself.
