I really don't like these. Unfortunately the "dri-weave" cover tends to fall apart through the day. It rips open and the silica which absorbs menstrual blood is exposed to the skin. Silica is not only poisonous but it also can cause chemical burns on sensitive skin. It's very common in disposable diapers if the silica crystals touch a baby's bottom, to cause a chemical burn on the baby. Many pads are made of similar materials as disposable diapers.

Other than the ripping, these are good pads and I have no experienced leaks with these. To keep them from ripping I change them often, especially if I see the dri-weave cover becoming weak, even if the pad is not ready to be changed. They do bunch up a lot and the wings come detached sometimes. So these would not be good for an active person who moves around a lot. Maybe if you are just going to be sitting around these are okay.
