So sorry for the delay in writing this, life gets in the way sometimes. I did not order these for my period (I am way past that) I turned 70 today! I recently have been diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis and have to use "clob " daily, had to change to cotton underwear and it stained my brand new panties. I thought I could live with it, but I cann't. I also use coconut oil to relieve some symptoms as well. These pads are the perfect solution! I recently placed a second small order and sent the link to my sister and niece and I know my sister place a order yesterday, told her she won't regret it!
