Ok so I bought the ultra ubsorbant with wings and well I am sorry but this is just not working I would have bled all over myself last night. I wore them during the day and I was changing every hr. Last night I put on a regular pad as soon as i made the swich i started itching again. I don't know what to do these pads just don't work. I cant wear a tampon. SO this mornng I got up and put the natural one back on the ichyness went away I don't know what to do there are only 2 brands out there and I am sorry I am NOT using one of those cups or reuseable things. I am not that much of a hippy. What do you all do those of you who can't use a tampon? I feel like writing to them they need to be better.

nicole, I can't use tampons either. have you tried the seventh generation pads?  They aren't perfect, but I like them a lot better than the natura. the natura were always falling apart on me and felt weird.

I use the seventh generation and the overnight pads are fantastic.

Nicole, these should resolve your problems:http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-4600-seventh-generation-chlorine-free-maxi-pads-overnight-14-eaOn my "heavy" days I always use 2 at a time (just overlap them). They are as thick and absorbant as drug store ones. Another option would be, while you are waiting for those, you can always cover a regular drug store pad with the thin one from natracare, or whatever natural pad you are currently using. Just make layers. This will prevent you from direct contact and still provide great absorbancy.

so i was reading the reviews on the seventh gen pads and it said on the overnight ones that the wings aren't attached you have to attach them? is this true for all of them? i mean if it is i think i rather just double up on my natura care ones.

I use 7th generation, and I never remember having to attach my own wings..I remember them just like any other pad.
