Hey earth muffins! A few weeks ago I posted a review of Natissy’s reusable panty liners. This brand is awesome; I found them last year when I tried out their reusable “paper” towels. As many of you know, I have been venturing into the world of reusable period pads after failing to find any success with menstrual cups. Natissy was kind enough to send over some pads to try out; so, today I will be sharing my reusable menstrual pads review with you all (affiliate link)! 😊 Don’t forget to use the code “JENNAAMZ20” on Amazon to get 20% off any Natissy products!
What I Love About Natissy’s Reusable Menstrual Pads
Obviously I love that this product is a sustainable alternative to disposable period pads. There are multiple ways to zero waste your period from menstrual cups to period underwear. As I didn’t find any luck with cups, these pads are a great alternative to still reduce my waste that time of the month. While these pads are shipped through Amazon, you can follow these instructions to get your Amazon packages plastic-free. Plus, the menstrual pads are packed by Natissy in a biodegradable bag – it looks plastic but it actually isn’t (which is awesome)!
This reusable menstrual pads review would not be complete without mentioning that they work great! 🎉 I have found that they do not leak and are much more comfortable than disposable pads. Having an eco-friendly fabric near my most sensitive parts is much better than those crunchy, chemical filled sticky pads. The bamboo and organic cotton material is super soft too!
As I mentioned in my review of Natissy’s panty liners, I always choose darker patterns so that they won’t stain as much. The pack I chose came with 3 small pads and 3 medium pads in the color “Black & Red” (affiliate link). So far so good in terms of staining! As long as you soak/rinse them after use, I think you should be fine with preventing most stains. I also like that their pads come in packs with different sizes. It is normal for your flow to change throughout your cycle, so it is helpful to have multiple sizes lying around. The mediums are perfect for the beginning of my period, and the smalls are great towards the end.
Lastly, I love that these reusable menstrual pads don’t shift around once you button them around your underwear. The Natissy pads only have one snap compared to two, but I haven’t had an issues with them not fitting correctly or shifting around when in use. I prefer snapping them onto my undies instead of sticking them like I used to do with disposable pads!
What Could Be Improved in Natissy Pads
Just like with any review on Life of an Earth Muffin, I have to mention price in this Natissy reusable menstrual pads review. For a pack of 6 small/medium pads, it will cost you around $45 (about $7.50 per liner). Compared to disposable pads, this might seem high… BUT, I feel like this is actually comparable to other reusable pads on the market. You can also use the code “JENNAAMZ20” on Amazon to get 20% off any Natissy products; this makes it an even more affordable price for all you lovely earth muffins! Remember, you are buying this product to last many years – you need to take into account the fact that it is handmade with high quality fabrics and has a much smaller environmental impact as well.
Final Thoughts on Natissy Reusable Pads
Overall, I absolutely love my Natissy reusable pads (affiliate link)! They work great during my period, and I love that the material is soft and comfortable to wear. The small and medium sizes are great for the differing flows during my cycle as well. While the price might seem high at first, these pads are comparable to other reusable ones on the market. Plus, don’t forget to use the code “JENNAAMZ20” on Amazon to get 20% off any Natissy products! Have you ever tried out reusable pads before? Comment below what you thought of them, and I highly recommend you check them out!
