Rael Disposable Underwear for Women, Organic Cotton Cover - Postpartum Essentials, Leak Locker, Unscented, Maximum Coverage (Size L-XL, 20 Count)

Love these for postpartum. Comfy for vaginal or C-section delivery. I normally wear period underwear for my period, but my stash of those are a little snug and a little low cut for my postpartum tummy and cs incision. These are a great option for the first few weeks while things are healing and shrinking. Large pad section in them, no leaks, soft and comfortable. I’m about 5’7” 175 not pregnant, and these fit me very comfortably. They’d work for someone smaller and larger too- nearly the whole thing is smocked/ruffled/elasticized, so very forgiving. Tuck some witch hazel wipes in and you’re golden.

These disposable period underwear are as good as it gets as far as protection and comfort go. To me, they almost feel like wearing regular underwear with a thin maxi pad, but the best part is that you get full coverage without the risk of leaking. I generally use tampons plus a thin pad as backup on heavier days, but tried these for overnight and liked them so much I used for daytime as well, and they worked exactly as advertised. They’re ideal for medium to heavy flow, and not needed for lighter days unless it’s preferred. The material is very soft, they aren’t bulky at all, and can easily and comfortably be worn under clothing without an issue. I like that the sizing is very flexible too since they expand to fit just right. I will still use tampons occasionally like when working out, swimming, traveling, at the spa/massage, but these period underwear are ideal for everyday use on medium/heavy days and overnight. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

These were a lifesaver while postpartum. These are so soft and comfy even when you don't feel like yourself with those early changes these made things so much easier and made me feel way less self conscious. They are very absorbent with no odor and offer really good range of motion workout having to worry about leaks and they are true to size.

The best for postpartum! I had my 5th child a little over a week ago and I’ve been using these postpartum. So so so nice. I have not leaked out of them once!! Also I have had no irritation like I have had in the past with other organic brands. I highly recommend these for anyone having a baby. So nice to not deal with pads and underwear. Just put one on and be leak free and comfortable.

I'd been using the standard store brands, such as Alw*ys, for a long time because it was easier to afford and easily accessible. I was unaware of the damage and harm it was causing me until more women online began to speak up. As I have a heavy flow and the Overnight Large Pads (which I used as my regular) from Alw*ys were not even cutting it, I opted for these diapers since other fellow heavy flow havers liked them and they were made of clean ingredients. Changed my life!! After only using them for about 3 months, my usually very severe menstrual cramping has decreased a bit, it doesn't feel like a bloodbath, and I have genuine comfort. They are thick and have size, so I feel secure even though it makes my pants feel a littttle more tight (although, I'd love an XXS/XS size! S/M is kind of large for me!) They absolutely stand overnight, I wear menstrual underwear when I wear them for extra protection. They also absorb a TON. Unlike other brands where it felt like everything "sat" on top (eugh), these actually absorbed. And of course, incredibly soft cotton and so comfortable. I've reordered multiple times and just picked up the pads. Please get these if you have painful, heavy, menses that is seemingly resistant to OTC meds! I'd say the only cons are, yes, it is a diaper so it requires a lot more effort to change lol and they're very high waisted. Additionally, the packaging is MUCH larger than a pad, so it's not easy to hide unless you're wearing a large hoodie or bring a bag !!! XD

I have an incredibly heavy period due to a fibroid. I have moved to using diapers since the thick Maxi overnights w/wings no longer prevented me from having REALLY bad accidents, even during the day, and within a short amount of time, i.e. minutes after putting it on. I started with Always Discreet Sensitive due to the reviews. While they were surprisingly "discreet" underneath my pants, I found that they either rode up or moved just out of place enough to where I could easily leak through them--and I did. They also aren't made of cotton, so they did start to irritate my sensitive areas after more than one day of wearing these (I did change them throughout the day, but the material was still irritating). It also took a minute for them to gel so I wouldn't feel wet, although I did like the fact there was a geling action. However, I was bothered by fit and having to be careful how I sat and laid in them. I often leaked through while sitting only minutes into a new diaper b/c of how they fit. I happened to buy the Raels and Discreets around the same time to test out which was better, though the Raels arrived later. Bar none, the Raels are better! First off, they're organic cotton, which I have found less irritating. Next, and most importantly, they fit like a glove! I can't tell the difference between wearing underwear and wearing these. They don't ride up at all. However, I was nervous wearing them to bed since they seemed thinner than the discreets. I then was doubly nervous when I woke up feeling wet. However, upon getting up, I saw no evidence of an accident. Everything stayed within the diaper. Additionally, as advertised, I could comfortably sleep in whatever position and move about my person without fear of accidentally leaking through. These diapers do take a lot longer to dry since they're cotton and I have to be careful when taking these off since I can get my own menses on my legs from these, but I learned to rip the sides apart--which each side has lines to indicate where to tear-- and to take these off while sitting on the commode instead of while standing. On that note, I have never had issue with the sides tearing while wearing these. I have bought many packages of these at this point, so I'm guessing there might be a sizing issue involved with those who have the sides rip on them. I will note that I actually have to put in a bit of effort to tear, but not in a way that I struggle, as I find happens with my Rx containers at times. I guess it is a "comfortable" tear. Pros: -Durable -Comfortable fit; I wear a small, but the s/m didn't feel loose on me like my medium underwear does. These felt secure and I can do stretches without fear of leaking through -Cute look -Sides tear off for ease of disposability Cons (why I knocked down a star): -Price: UPDATE (May 29th, 2024): These are indeed sold at Target, but only through Target shipping. Pricing is comparable. As for brand comparisons, these are organic so naturally they're going to cost more than non-organic brands. However, that price jump is felt a bit more than when I buy my organic vs regular pads. While I find myself doing substantially less laundry when I wear these (so there is cost savings w/my water bill and personal time and energy--I'm anemic so the less I have to do the better), I do find myself strategizing the use of these more than I'd like. If I weren't on a limited income, I might not be as bothered. -Packaging Material: Cora and Natracare sell their pads in cardboard boxes. Natracare also wraps their pantiliners in biodegradable material. It would be great if Rael were upfront somewhere on their packaging about the packaging material used. I did find on their website that the container is recyclable plastic. From inquring at my local recycling site, I know that it is the type of plastic that would go with grocery bags (if it stretches instead of ripping, it is indeed recyclable). I'm assuming the same for each individually wrapped diaper. It would be great if they sold them in boxes and wrapped each individual diaper in paper in order to lower the use of plastic. Neutral: -Tote-ability: Unless they are literally your only option, these are not reasonable for travel, namely because you HAVE TO TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS each time you change them. However, I'm not aware of an adult diaper that you can put on without taking off your pants, so I'm not going to list this as a negative. I hope Rael takes this idea into consideration, though! I'm a bit surprised adult diapers aren't like baby's diapers, i.e. constructable at the sides. I plan to write to the company about this. Hopefully, others will, too! Full Disclosure: These aren't oversaturatable-proof: I did go through one of the diapers recently, but it was my first time only. I'm not sure if it was when I was doing all sorts of wacky stretches/yoga moves (e.g. lying on my back with my legs hanging over my upperbody) or when I suddenly had a heavy leak and then sat down in a funny position (I have a weird chair situation at the moment) where there is less padding in the diaper. These do only hold so much. I can usually tell when I need to change each diaper, though. And, again, they work 100% better than the Discreets, so I'm not going to a different diaper brand anytime soon. I like the newfound freedom of movement that these diapers offer.

This is Literally the best postpartum underwear I’ve tried and I’ve tried so many, so soft and comfortable and didn’t irritate my skin at all, 100% recommend

Writing this review after using it for one month. They definitely strive to provide the softness and comfort that they claim. No leaks whatsoever. They fit perfectly as well, for only providing two sizes. I was afraid it might be loose on me but they not only fit to skin, let alone heaving down with weight. I noticed a little smell but again, what sanitary wear doesn't smell after wearing it for a couple of hours on heavy flow days. Nothing too bothering. What made me a fan of these are how flawless they seem under clothing. Like no one can tell that I'm flowing tons and wearing a diaper like other brands. Gotta love them for these. Doesn't even sound plastic-ky when you walk like other brands would. I highly recommend wearing these to anyone with sensitive skin who get rashes like myself after just one day of wearing pads. These are heavenly soft and comfortable.

Unfortunately it still leaked throughout the night. I wouldn’t recommend for heavy periods (I have normal periods btw heavy on day one and two then tapering off) but I used this on day 2 for about 7 hours and it leaked. I would say it’s decent for day 3+ periods to keep on all day and handy for not soiling your underwear and also feels fresher. It’s not bulky, doesn’t irritate the skin but for heavy periods you’ll have to either double up or get another brand that absorbs better. Glad I tried it though

Says organic but they smell very strongly of petrochemicals, my bed sheets now stink of it

These were an absolute essential for me postpartum. I much preferred wearing these to large pads because they fit better and nothing bunches up or rubs up and the material is soft and unscented so there is no worry about irritation to your sensitive lady area. I found them to be a bit pricey, but i can certainly justify it for that little bit of added comfort postpartum. I cant wait to try other products from this brand.
