I tried around 7 reusable sanitary pads and the only comfortable one was this. I have been using this brand for 10 years.
I'm older, with a small stress incontinence problem (sneezing, hefting a small grandchild etc) so I've tried some mediums. Fast delivery, the product is good, but I don't think I need the waterproof... See more

The second order!
This is the second time I have ordered the maxi pads and this is just to have some more. My other ones are still going strong! I LOVE these products and they are so comfortable and easy to use and wash and re use. Best investment I have ever made and so much kinder to the environment.

Not for me
Product was well made but didn’t work for my stress incontinence problem. So disappointed to find it leaked. and so I won’t be able to use them at all as they are not reliable.

Hi!
Thanks for leaving a review! :)
We're so sorry to hear our pads didn't work for you! They're more designed for periods rather than stress incontinence though some customers do find they work for stress incontinence, I am sorry this wasn't the case for yourself though :(

Not for me…100% plastic.
I don’t know how well they work as have just bought some and I now see that they’re made from plastic bottles so I will be returning them. The listing stated they’re made from 100%recycled material which I took to mean fabric ie cotton or similar. Plastic is the last thing you want anywhere near your bits!
Edit to reply: the food shop I bought these from do not specify that they’re made from recycled bottles, just “recycled material”. I’m happy that you thoroughly clean every bottle used, I would expect nothing less, but it’s irrelevant in this instance. It’s still plastic, clean or otherwise and I don’t want it in my underwear!

Unprompted review
Reply from Bloom & Nora
Hi,
Thank you for thinking about trying reusable pads! The waterproof layer is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, preventing these going into landfill, and this sits against your underwear rather than against the body. The bottles used are generally clear water bottles, and go through rigorous cleaning processes before they are processed into yarn. I’ll pop a link below to a video made by Frugi showing how the plastic bottles are turned into yarn for our fabric. The website does mention our waterproof fabric is made from recycled bottles, on all product pages.
The other materials in the pads are bamboo, polyamide and Polyester Microfibre, all of this information is readily available on our website in the descriptions of our pads.

I hope this helps to clear things up for you, but of course if you want to return them you absolutely can.

I am thrilled with the service from Bloom and Nora, the products arrived promptly and are of a great quality. I am a total convert to reusable sanitary towels and have spread the word with my friends and my daughters are inspired too! They are much more comfortable to wear and wash well. I rinse them in cold water and then pop them in the wash in the bathroom bag after a day or two (they also dry quickly). As far as I can tell there's nothing negative to mention, it's a win win situation for us and the planet!

Product lived up to it's statement! I am so glad I found this greener alternative at 70 yrs old! Not for periods obviously but for bladder accidents instead of Tena.

I read a few reviews before buying these which said 'I wish I'd bought them sooner'. 100% agree - I wish I had bought them sooner! Easy to use, comfortable, very absorbent and good for the environment.

Great products
Edited below:
Great products, shame about the customer service. My first order arrived with no problem. I wanted to order a second bathroom bag. Unfortunately it didn’t turn up and I had no reply to my email.
Edit - Bloom & Nora got in touch and sent me a replacement bag. The first order arrived a month after it was sent (thanks Royal Mail!) and B&N kindly let me keep both, although I would have happily paid for the replacement. These bags are really useful - I use one to store clean pads, one for used, and the third will be used to hold used bathroom cleaning cloths. It’s still a mystery which internet gremlins ate my first email!

Lovely products
Lovely products, I love the colours and the design. They felt a little strange to begin with, I think that was because they are a little thicker than disposable pads, but no less absorbent and no less comfortable! I love the little bags, really handy and a great way to store your pads both before and after use. I am so happy I changed to these pads, better for the environment and better for me!
