Which are the best sanitary pads these days?

Have not used in many many years... Are the new Always Infinity I've seen in Boots the best ones?
(I already have tampons and a mooncup which I normally use)

Reusable. I’ve only recently been converted. I use a cup mostly but they are amazing for leaks and light days. Much comfier and much better for the environment.
I got a fairly cheap set of 5 from amazon

Another vote for reusable.

I really like infinity but much cooler and less sweaty, feel more like a liner not a full pad. I found normal ones burn my skin.

Bodyform in the pink pack are my go-to at the moment. Not as sweaty as always.

I do reusables at night time and when at home, and always sensitive at other times because I can't stand the smell of the scented ones.

Bodyform Ultra Goodnight towels for a heavy flow, no leaks.

Naturacare - Waitrose does them although I buy online. No plastic and no smelly stuff. No leaks either. No rubbing.

Reusables: Cheeky Mama

Haven't used a disposable since the last maternity pad... baby is now at school.

Previously Bodyform, but it's been years and I'd only use a disposable in an emergency.

Natracare

I use Cottons just now. I don't really want to go for reusable but I was finding the likes of bodyform and always were leaving me with welts on my skin! I've been using Cottons for about 6 months now and the skin issues have stopped.
I also use Thinx pants at night and on light days at home.

Bodyform ultra nights. Long and great for heavy flow. I wear the back to front as my blood seems to seep upwards and comes up quite high from some reason.

Lidl own brand are really good and really cheap. I never rate any of the branded ones and a lot of them stink. Tried reusable, couldn’t get in with them.

I've used disposables for years.

Tamping snd even a mooncup make me itch and sore. However recently the pads made the soreness unbearable too.

I've just ordered reusables and I actually am really excited to take them this month! I actually touched them and went wooooooo.

Trampire · 24/11/2018 12:01

Tamping = tampons.

Trampire · 24/11/2018 12:02

Out of the disposables, I found Kotex the most gentle but not so good on fit.
