@mybabyloves, honestly I said the some thing hahaha! So i totally get you! @tattooedbaylove11713 I like them more because the disposable pads would always irritate my skin so I ended up using tampons, but those dry you out. These are way more easier to wash and clean! I just add some soap or shampoo whatever brand I dont like but I tried out and put it on top. And while I'm showering stomp stomp stomp. Some material like Organic Bamboo Velour makes it sooo easy to get the blood out. Simple as soaking it in cold water or throwing it in the wash. One material is hard to get stains out is knit but theres always peroxide which is really good about getting blood out and also peroxide. Its just easy to clean. I only need like 15 a period and it lasts for years. I dont have a stinky trashcan and Its really comfy to sleep in too!
