Charlie Banana Washable Cloth Pads, Peony Blossom, Regular, 3 Ct

I love Charlie Banana pads. I was leery to try this brand, but my old favorite went out of business and I wanted more pads now that my teenager keeps stealing my pads! My only complaint is that they are white, but some people prefer that for bleaching them! I love them for their ease of use and how very soft and comfortable they are! My teenage daughter feels the same way and it was easy to teach her how to care for them since she already knew how to do laundry before she started using these. How do we care for them? I've been using cloth pads for almost 18 years now, and when we take them off we soak them pad down in a tub of cold water until we wash (every day is best - if going longer just change out the soaking water), then dump the pads - soak water and all - into the washer and set it for a regular cycle with a soak and an extra rinse. Sometimes they *might* need a second wash, but generally they don't if you can include the soak in your washing machine's cycle. These pads are stitched all the way down the sides so the inner padding doesn't move/twist around in the washer or dryer making these even easier to use than some of the other brands I've used before that only stitch the inner padding at the top and bottom. Absolutely love these.

I love Charlie Banana and this was the best deal I found online for these pads. The Super size is a bit bulky, so I wouldn't recommend them when wearing tight-fitting items. This is a great absorbency for a heavier day. They're comfortable, the absorbency is great, they wash up easily, and they generally don't stain despite the white fabric (I put a little stain remover on any stains that don't come out in the shower and they've come out in the wash). I love not having to use disposable pads anymore!! No more contributing to landfills!
