It seems that what the previous reviewer doesn't like about these is what I do like about them. I got both the printed ones and the undyed organic ones. The printed ones are very dark and much thinner than these. The thinner ones move around more and I've had a couple of small leaks onto my panties with the thinner ones but none with the undyed organic ones. I guess it depend on what works for you.

I use pantyliners everyday. Over a lifetime, that's a LOT of used pads going into landfills. Ew. So I thought I'd switch to reusable pantyliners to save money and reduce the waste. Per the description, these pantyliners are made of undyed, organic cotton. There are three in the box. They are sort of a neutral, off-white, cream color and very soft. I can't comment on how they compare to the dyed, regular cotton variety. As far as pantyliners go, they are thicker than disposable versions, but not uncomfortable to wear. These pads snap (metal snap) around your panties, which is supposed to help the pad stay in place. I've found that I have to reposition the pad several times a day because it will scoot forward or back if I'm walking a lot or running that day. (It could be my underwear [cotton] that keeps the pad from staying in place better.) I wash the pads in my washing machine with my other laundry on the cold or warm cycle without fabric softener (I've heard fabric softener can make reusable pads less absorbent). I do not put them in the dryer, but set them out to dry. They take about 24 hours to dry completely after I remove them from the washing machine. All in all, I'm pleased with these pads and have recommended them to some friends who are considering a switch to reusable pads. It's nice not to have to worry about buying disposable pads anymore and I'm glad I'm not putting used pads into the trash now!

The undyed organic cotton ones are bulkier than the color pads. I like the others, hate the undyed ones. They sit too stiff and don't move with you.

In my quest to be better to the environment I thought I would give the pantyliners a try. They stay in place very well and the absorbency is fine. What bothers me is that they are so thick it pushes up against the lady parts to the point where they start to fall asleep, not comfortable at all. I'm pretty bummed because other than that they were great.

This was the first fabric pantiliner I tried and I wanted to like it but it was too thick. It actually gave me an ingrown hair I believe from rubbing on my inner leg. This happened twice. So I don't use them anymore and my favorite one I found is the Fuzzi Bunz which is soft and hasn't stained yet. That brand is easy to tell which way to snap shut due to the pattern.

These do their job OK, but they are a bit thick and bulky, and tend to bunch up which makes them even bulkier. They'd be better if they were slightly less thick and had a slightly larger footprint, for the same amount of absorbancy but better coverage.
