natracareDry & Light, Slim, Natural and Absorbent Pads with Organic Cotton Cover for Light Urinary Incontinence (1 Pack, 20 Pads Total)

Having a very sensitive bladder i was pleased to see these pads , i have been a long term user of another very well known brand and I am getting quite sensitive skin which i feel may be due to long term use so time to try something new. When i opened the box I was concerned about the bulkiness of these and the fact that they do feel very stiff , a little like cardboard. However when wearing i didnt really notice this and they do feel comfortable. This product did loose a couple of stars for the following reasons though, firstly they dont seem to stick too well and they wrinkle up a bit ,secondly they seemed to not absorb as quickly as my regular ones which led to a small amount of leakage at the sides.

I'm giving these 5 stars because they are much better for our health than the competition, but I think the Natracare Organic Dry & Light Incontinence Pads Plus (16 pcs) are 100% better than these. These ones are a bit hard and not long enough. The PLUS ones are much longer, absorb far better and are superb.As a doctor, a large number of my patients have given feedback on these and I have had to start using them myself due to an ageing bladder.I have found that they are a lot cheaper to buy from Natural Collection, instead of £6.91, they are £3.57 a box of 16 and free postage over £50, so you can buy 14 packs of the PLUS ones and it is extremely quick and easy to re-order.

I bought this on the basis of good reviews and for their environmental credentials . However I have found that the pads are frequently not sticking to my underwear and have occasionally worked their way out down my trousers, which is very embarrassing. Many times I have found that the pads have been badly manufactured and the absorbent core not centred. This core is pretty inflexible and the pads far from comfortable for me. So sadly I am going to have to stop using these and return to a more prominent brand.

My doctor recommended these as they are very good for any woman who suffers with sensitivity/ dry skin/eczema etc. No irritation at all unlike other well known products. They have no bleach etc very natural. Highly recommend them will use these all the time from now on.

dry yes, but not light! a bit bulky and be better if they were shaped to the body like most commercial brands - but better for the environment - that's why I bought them!
