I have purchased these in the 8", 10" & 12" sizes. I've found the 12" size to be my preference. I ordered 2 sets of the 12" ones after ordering a single 10", a single 8", & a single 12” from the same manufacturer. I will no longer use disposables. These keep me from having skin discomfort & are highly absorbent. All lengths of these tend to be a bit thick, but I haven't had any issues with leaking, so I'm pleased. I have heavy periods, & sometimes during allergy season, mild to moderate incontinence from sneezing. These have never let anything leak in either situation. Disposable products tend to give me skin irritation by day 3 of my period. These don't, and I love feeling confident in their absorbency capabilities. They do have a tendency to occasionally slide too far forward or backward, but it's not a frequent issue. The seller has excellent customer service, & I loved being able to choose my patterns. They do ship from China, but all 5 of my orders arrived weeks sooner than promised. As for cleaning & laundering them: I store them in a container atop my washing machine, & then wash them all at the end of my cycle. I've found the gentle cycle to be ineffective for cleaning, so I use normal cycle, warm wash, cold rinse. I add detergent, Downy, & OdoBan lavender to my wash load. I hang dry them on these nifty clip hangers I also found on Amazon. They come clean this way best for me, even without presoaking, but everyone has different methods. I highly recommend these, & have already told my mom, sisters, & friends about them. If you found this review helpful, please select helpful.
