Rael Organic Cotton Cover Overnight Underwear - Panty Style Pad, Unscented, Disposable Period Underwear, Postpartum, Teen, Maximum Coverage (Size S-M, 20 Count)

As a girl with endometriosis and extremely heavy flow, long lasting periods, i basically ONLY use disposable underwear for my period. I don’t use pads, tampons or cups, only disposable underwear. So, I’ve tried many different brands and I have to say, Rael is by far the best disposable underwear I’ve found.I do have some dislikes, but let’s go over everything I love about them first!•FITI am 5,4ft in height and about 100IBS with a waist size of 24-25 depending on my cycle. Unlike most brands where the sizing is usually wonky, these fit great! Not too tight and not too small. They are also very stretchy.•MATERIALmost brands I’ve tried have a very rough sand paper feel to them. These are the complete opposite, in my opinion. They are very soft and have a butter like feel to them, which I love because that really helps with the noise. Speaking of noise..•NOISEthey can make noise sometimes, depending on what clothes you wear, or body movements. But for the most part they are pretty quiet.• ABSORBINGThe absorbency is amazing. I have NEVER leaked in these, which I HAVE leaked in most brands. Since trying these, I have not had any bloody accidents.• LEAK GUARDSI love the leak guards on these. They have saved me a million times and I’m very happy with them.•BULKINESSWe have to be honest with ourselves, ANY disposable underwear you get are going to feel and look like a diaper. There will most likely always be Bulkiness and without bulkiness, if you have periods like I do, you’re likely to leak.Obviously, these are a little bulky. They do tend to bunch up in the crotch area which isn’t my favorite. But they aren’t OVERLY bulky. I can get away with most clothing items except for leggings or spandex. But Jean shorts, jeans, anything else I can wear.• PACKAGING FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PANTYI really like that each panty is individually wrapped. It makes it easier to pack away into a backpack or purse, or just carry around overall. And if your ever in a sticky situation where there isn’t a trash can and you’ll have to carry them in a bag, you can use the packing that came with the underwear you were changing into to put the dirty underwear in for later disposal.• DURATION.With my heavy flow, most brands wouldn’t last me more than 2 hours. I can wear these for about 4 hours before needing to change them. I’ve gone longer, such as when I’m sleeping and have not leaked BUT you’ll start to feel a little gross if you wait too long to change them.•SMELLI don’t think these come with scent? But I often don’t smell my own blood unless I am overdue for a change.• TOTAL AMOUNT OF UNDIES!I actually have left a review a little over a year ago, and at one point they only carried packs with up to 10 undies, which DID NOT last me through out my period. Eventually, they added a pack with 20 pairs of undies which was a game changer. Before that, I had to buy 2 individual packs to last me with my period. Since they added more, I’ve been buying from this brand ever since and I’m extremely happy they added 20 undies in a pack so I don’t have to buy 2 individual packs.DISLIKE:The only dislike I have is the design. I get very tired of the plain white, or plain solid colors. When it comes down to it, none of us want to wear diapers once a month. But unfortunately, some of us, such as me, have to to be the most safe and protected for our periods. It already feels and looks like a diaper, but I feel like some cute designs would really help get rid of that “diaper look” and make a lot of us feel better about wearing them. Maybe some cute flowers, I don’t know.I wanted to add images of not only the undies but also images of me wearing them because I know some people like to get an idea of what they look like worn.For the most part, no complaints besides hoping one day they’ll have some cute designs instead of JUST plain white. I get very bored with the plain white, or just plain solid colors.

I used these in place of the pads the hospital provides after giving birth and they WERE AWESOME!! They are so absorbent, durable, and seriously so comfortable! I feel great knowing I'm wearing them without any toxic chemicals in them, and that they are made organic cotton! Even my postpartum nurses said "Oh you got the good ones!" when they saw me wearing these lol! Trust me, they are worth the money!!

These are softer than the always ones. Although they are soft, they’re also durable. I love how they do not have scent and hugs your body without being tight at all. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a scent free and or non toxic alternative.

A must have for postpartum! They fit a little snug but were Easy to use and surprisingly more comfortable than I expected.

Comfortable and amazing for when I was postpartum! Thick and durable for overnight! Easy to use and store in bathroom!

I have an incredibly heavy period due to a fibroid. I have moved to using diapers since the thick Maxi overnights w/wings no longer prevented me from having REALLY bad accidents, even during the day, and within a short amount of time, i.e. minutes after putting it on.I started with Always Discreet Sensitive due to the reviews. While they were surprisingly "discreet" underneath my pants, I found that they either rode up or moved just out of place enough to where I could easily leak through them--and I did. They also aren't made of cotton, so they did start to irritate my sensitive areas after more than one day of wearing these (I did change them throughout the day, but the material was still irritating). It also took a minute for them to gel so I wouldn't feel wet, although I did like the fact there was a geling action. However, I was bothered by fit and having to be careful how I sat and laid in them. I often leaked through while sitting only minutes into a new diaper b/c of how they fit.I happened to buy the Raels and Discreets around the same time to test out which was better, though the Raels arrived later. Bar none, the Raels are better! First off, they're organic cotton, which I have found less irritating. Next, and most importantly, they fit like a glove! I can't tell the difference between wearing underwear and wearing these. They don't ride up at all. However, I was nervous wearing them to bed since they seemed thinner than the discreets. I then was doubly nervous when I woke up feeling wet. However, upon getting up, I saw no evidence of an accident. Everything stayed within the diaper. Additionally, as advertised, I could comfortably sleep in whatever position and move about my person without fear of accidentally leaking through. These diapers do take a lot longer to dry since they're cotton and I have to be careful when taking these off since I can get my own menses on my legs from these, but I learned to rip the sides apart--which each side has lines to indicate where to tear-- and to take these off while sitting on the commode instead of while standing.On that note, I have never had issue with the sides tearing while wearing these. I have bought many packages of these at this point, so I'm guessing there might be a sizing issue involved with those who have the sides rip on them. I will note that I actually have to put in a bit of effort to tear, but not in a way that I struggle, as I find happens with my Rx containers at times. I guess it is a "comfortable" tear.Pros:-Durable-Comfortable fit; I wear a small, but the s/m didn't feel loose on me like my medium underwear does. These felt secure and I can do stretches without fear of leaking through-Cute look-Sides tear off for ease of disposabilityCons (why I knocked down a star):-Price: UPDATE (May 29th, 2024): These are indeed sold at Target, but only through Target shipping. Pricing is comparable. As for brand comparisons, these are organic so naturally they're going to cost more than non-organic brands. However, that price jump is felt a bit more than when I buy my organic vs regular pads. While I find myself doing substantially less laundry when I wear these (so there is cost savings w/my water bill and personal time and energy--I'm anemic so the less I have to do the better), I do find myself strategizing the use of these more than I'd like. If I weren't on a limited income, I might not be as bothered.-Packaging Material: Cora and Natracare sell their pads in cardboard boxes. Natracare also wraps their pantiliners in biodegradable material. It would be great if Rael were upfront somewhere on their packaging about the packaging material used. I did find on their website that the container is recyclable plastic. From inquring at my local recycling site, I know that it is the type of plastic that would go with grocery bags (if it stretches instead of ripping, it is indeed recyclable). I'm assuming the same for each individually wrapped diaper. It would be great if they sold them in boxes and wrapped each individual diaper in paper in order to lower the use of plastic.Neutral:-Tote-ability: Unless they are literally your only option, these are not reasonable for travel, namely because you HAVE TO TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS each time you change them. However, I'm not aware of an adult diaper that you can put on without taking off your pants, so I'm not going to list this as a negative. I hope Rael takes this idea into consideration, though! I'm a bit surprised adult diapers aren't like baby's diapers, i.e. constructable at the sides. I plan to write to the company about this. Hopefully, others will, too!Full Disclosure: These aren't oversaturatable-proof:I did go through one of the diapers recently, but it was my first time only. I'm not sure if it was when I was doing all sorts of wacky stretches/yoga moves (e.g. lying on my back with my legs hanging over my upperbody) or when I suddenly had a heavy leak and then sat down in a funny position (I have a weird chair situation at the moment) where there is less padding in the diaper. These do only hold so much. I can usually tell when I need to change each diaper, though. And, again, they work 100% better than the Discreets, so I'm not going to a different diaper brand anytime soon.I like the newfound freedom of movement that these diapers offer.

The only feminine products I use are Rael. These are a great fit and so uncomfortable. Using all cotton is so healthy for down there. Ive used other disposable underwear that is so bulky it rubs and give me a rash. Cotton is thick but cushy, so it isn't uncomfortable. Will neeever use anything else! I also love that you get 20 of them for the price.

They're cotton, they breathe, no chaffing, can wear all night even when I'm on the HEAVY flow. It has the leg gussets, so it does not leak at all. When you're done and ready to change, you can pull them down or tear them off. Simple. Love these.
