Great pad! Hurrah! Wanted it for heavy flow daytimes and it works extremely well - very absorbent, no leaks and comfortable to wear too. Good dimensions and good wings so it fits well and doesn't bunch up. The cotton fleece top layer does a great job and has stayed soft (I've washed it three times now); also chose cotton fleece for the bottom layer and I'm delighted that the only synthetic bit of the pad is the PUL. It does take longer to dry than my other pads so I can only use it once per cycle, but now I know that I can organise my washing accordingly!
Another amazing pad, exactly the same as the other 3 I own.
Although my collection is complete and have enough to get me through each cycle, the colours and designs are lovely and tempt me to buy a few more... there is no harm I guess in having a few extra at hand.
Absorbency and comfort are amazing, no issues with feeling "wet" or conscious about what is going on. Literally not bothered or feel any discomfort. It is easy to know when to change as you do start to feel a little wet, however, I have never bled through the pad. Especially as this has the extra PUL it will prevent those kind of accidents.
Really a joy to use these items and I am not at all bothered by the cleaning and maintenance as it is very minimal.
I love the slim mega pad, I have it in multiple colours! I'm a UK size 22/24, and HYF pads are the only pads and company that I have found that make pads that are big enough for a large lady, and understand that the larger the lady, the larger the pad they need! Before I switched to cloth pads, I hated my period and menstrual products because disposable pads were never big enough. I find tampons horrendously uncomfortable, and disposable pads never stay put, and go straight up my hoohah. I'm a front bleeder, so I hit the front of the pad when I bleed. The slim mega is the perfect size no matter where you tend to bleed on the pad. I use them as my heavy pads, I have about 11 of them now and I use them on a two day cycle throughout my period (on my heavy days, washing every day). They're really good, they wash lovely, and with the PUL layer not a drop has ever gone through. At first, I was changing more than I needed to as I was skeptical about how much they could hold, but with cloth pads you feel the wetness against your skin when you need to change, which I actually like. These hold a lot more than you think they would. They also dry very quickly once you have washed them, mine dry within 24 hours on the radiator, so it cuts down on the amount you have to buy. They are incredibly comfortable, and never move about in my underwear with tight undies. I can't compare to other brands of cloth pads as all my pads are HYF, but I would really recommend.

Absolutely amazing the company is amazing after months of using my shorts I can confidently say they’re more than worth the money the pads stay in place and the legs don’t roll up so I don’t have any chafing from knickers to contend with anymore, I definitely didn’t make my order easy but the person I talked to did everything in their power to help will definitely have to order more
Treated myself to some new pants, I'm the kind of person who prefers mens boxer style underwear so was very excited when I saw these. They're extremely comfortable, great fabric, and most of all THEY DON'T WEDGIE!! I've discarded so many pants because every couple of minutes one has to pull them out of one's arse crack. More expensive per pair than other pants, but worth it for comfort and doesn't look like they're going to frey like cheap ones do.
I actually use these to wash my face in the evening, lovely and soft and easy to clean. Also great for pretty much any task where you might usually use cotton wool pads.
Very comfortable to wear and perfect for days 1-3 of period and if you suffer incontinence gushed trying to undo your button going to the loo. I've been using this company's pads for a few years now and haven't looked back, they're much more comfortable and absorbent than disposable pads. The chemicals in disposable pads hurt my skin, as long as you're careful with what products you wash them with, I don't get any skin irritation and they don't all wrinkle up at the sides like regular disposal pads do. I highly recommend Vicky and Honour your Flow! Has definitely been a lifesaver for heavy periods.
I havent used the pads yet. They were bigger than expected but I am in touch with Vicky about a replacement or refund.
Great products, really soft against my skin and wash well.
Pretty and keep you dry all day
10/10, comfy and just what I expected. The seller is perfectly wonderful and incredibly helpful. Lovely lady. Well worth the money for hand made clothes and supporting a small business. Just what I had been hunting for.
love these, soo comfortable i dont feel them at all! and love the colour!
The pad is great — very comfortable, soft, easy to clean, and the size is just perfect. The material also feels really good. I love it!
These are absolutely fantastic and something I’ve been searching for for so long!
For starters, I am a chronic illness haver, and I have PCOS (now PMOS) and endometriosis, as you can imagine I have super specific needs. These are so light and breathable so they do not set off any allodynia or skin irritation, nor mess with my already broken temperature regulation.
Although it is suggested to get a size down especially for the bamboo, I decided to get my usual size (20), and I’m so glad I did. The band does not feel like it’s cutting me in half and they also do not fall down, and yet there is plenty room to accommodate for the massive bloating I get and for my various heat pads! If you prefer a tighter fit I can definitely see why sizing down is recommended.
To be able to choose from my own pad collection (which now also includes a mega pad from here which works perfectly fine with these shorts for me and makes me feel so secure) and stay comfortable and cosy is so important to me. I no longer have to suffer seams cutting in on my legs or uncomfortable bands when bloating. I even love wearing them when I’m not on my period, especially when it’s hot weather. Not to mention the absolutely wonderful customer service, so helpful and kind. I am overjoyed and can’t recommend them enough!
Great at removing chocolate from trousers, red wine from cream carpet, acrylic paint and sweat from white cotton school shirt... and of course blood.
Great pads. Well constructed, comfy, non-sweaty. Have worn HYF pads ever since I first got my period. Have even found that reusable pads help with cramping. (Once when I had to use a disposable one at work, the pain was so bad I got sent home!) The PUL feature is great as well. No more leaking straight through when sitting or standing in one position for ages. Well worth the buy. High recommend.
Very happy with these. Comfortable and efficient. And great to be savingso much from landfill.
Brilliant, small but mighty stain remover stick. Doesn’t peel my skin off my hands like other chemical ones do, and does great job.
