Well, what can I say...absolutely amazing. I was wary of trying something reusable as I suffer from endometriosis and have very heavy periods but I wanted to try and cut down the amount of plastic waste from disposables and the amount of chemicals I'm putting into my body. I did a lot of research and decided on HYF pads - particularly as they have this starter kit, it's ideal.
I'm blown away by them. I can't even tell I'm wearing a pad, they are so comfortable. No irritation from them at all and I was worried that they wouldn't stay in place as I normally struggle with the sticky back ones so felt sure these wouldn't stay in place. So far I've had no problem and no leaks at all. At night for a little extra security I do wear an extra pair of pants just in case!
Thank you so much HYF for making these wonderful pads, I shall be recommending them to all of my friends
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.

These pads are amazeballs !
Absorbent and funky ! What else do you need
Really comfortable and easy to use, big improvement on menstrual cups. Appreciate the little bag for the disc that’s included.
A good size. Comfortable. Lovely colours.
Love the fabric, had not realised just how big this mega pad was.... should have realised in the title!!! ... its bigger than others I've bought... but its just fine... Working for the NHS... sometimes forget to go to the loo... I know I'm safe... and can still get there in time...
I recently decided to switch entirely to non-toxic everything (slowly and bit by bit of course) and I love these pads. I got 2 of each size, and they’re perfect, genuinely. I washed them once in the wash bag before use and they’ve not bled colour or stained at all. So easy to clip on and not worry throughout the day. Doesn’t hurt as much as a menstrual cup does (for me). It brings me great comfort knowing I’m doing good by my health using non toxic products. 10/10 recommend!
a good alternative to save money and planet on long term. I hate pads and the cup confortable once you get used to it. I used this cup in the past and bought a new one. I prefered the previous bag.
These pads are excellent, I haven’t bought seconds before but certainly would again.
These are a godsend, been using these for a few months now and they are great so had to buy more. I love been able to save the planet and also save my money as buying new and plastic ones was not for me. Plus you’re always stocked up for the next month ! Great product
Comfortable
A beautifully soft pad. While it's very large, it's so so comfortable and reassuring to wear.
I have been using these pads for around 4 years now and couldn’t imagine using anything else. They are soft, durable, comfortable and extremely absorbent. I wish I had made the swap to reusable a years ago! I wouldn’t use anything else now. Thank you so much!
Very pleased that HYF offer this option as they offer quality products and to be able to buy these in bulk for our large family is really economical. Even though they are seconds, the quality is still there and product works well (just looks less pretty if you like!). Thank you HYF.
Thought I would try this instead of a panty liner and it is very comfortable and soft as well as a lovely colour! Absorbs quickly too, (small urine dribbles).
Many thanks.
These reusable pads are the perfect product just as they have been for the many years that I have been using them. Please don’t change I’ve lost count how many times I’ve recommended you to others even on the most random of occasions. 😊 Thank you.
What more could you ask? Oh yes - they're rather beautiful too - and easily the best pads I've found. Over several years of trying!
