Please rate how well you liked this product out of 5 (with 5 being the highest)

I love Claire's pads. I sometimes wish they were longer, but I'm sure I could remedy that with a custom order. Over all, fantastic.

I have 3 of these pads and like them a lot. One is velvet topped and the others are like a shaggy kind of fleece. They are very well made and have all washed and held up very well over the last year. They are very absorbent and pretty.

I have three of her flannel pads- a maxi, a regular, and a pantyliner. I was anxious about my purchase of these because I usually prefer longer pads (the maxi is 10 inches). I was shocked by just how absorbent these pads are. They're wonderfully thin. I found that I didn't need any extra length on these. The pantyliner is also great for everyday wear; it's quite comfortable.

I rated these a five.

These are another favorite of mine. I love how thin they are but still hold a lot. They come in really cute prints and I have 2 different styles and I love them both. I find the maxi works really well with even my heaviest days. She is also great about customer service and she is so quick with communication. Will definitely be buying more.

I just finished using these for the first time and I thought they were pretty awesome (although not as awesome as the CDL wetbag, but that has its own review). I got a custom prints set of one maxi, one regular, one mini, and one liner, as this was my first foray into AIOs and PUL; the value was excellent, as CDL's prices are reasonable even when there isn't a sale going on. CDL provided a pretty good assortment of cute flannels, and I chose two in skull and two in space prints. They arrived very quickly, especially for a custom set, and there was good communication regarding the shipping, and there were no surprises as to the neat appearance of the pads. Initially I thought they were huge; I'm petite and they're pretty wide, but I decided to hold judgment until trying them out, and it turned out not to be so bad because the pads are thin, as the wings don't have as many layers as the core. (Although, to be fair, the maxi was effectively a night pad for me, and the mini was closer to a maxi.) They've got some wavy stitching to quilt the top layers together, then a layer of PUL in all but the liner, and then another flannel print layer, with the core being the only thick part, which makes them VERY absorbent (and leak-proof!). The plastic snaps were really comfortable, (snap press > sewn-on plastic snaps) although I wish there had been multiple snap settings or that the snaps had been equally spaced on the wings. Also, there was no shrinking, and only minimal fading, staining, and pilling of the flannel top.

I do, however, have some real complaints: There was some bunching due to the wing style, mostly because the pads are essentially round in shape, but my underwear isn't uniformly narrow in the crotch, but it improved after a couple of washes. If you wear panties that aren't essentially bikinis, these may not fit quite right no matter what you try, so a style with less protective wings might be necessary. Further, some of them didn't get clean in the wash and needed to be put in a second time, and none of them dry fully in the machine, turning my tiny dorm double into a creepy clothesline. Maybe it's an issue because of the AIO style or the PUL, but the (few) other pads I've tried played friendlier with the washing machine and dryer. Also, the CDL pads were a very tight fit for the CDL wet envelopes, not that I mind because I have no shortage of wet bags but it was a little weird. Overall though, these are good pads and were a good experiment in my opinion.

Edit: It's been a couple years since I got these pads, and I have some additional comments. I'm less of a fan of the wide wings than I was at the time of the original review, but the seller has changed the style to have smaller wings, and I'm excited to try that. I got an additional liner in an older style through a trade, but as with the others, the wide wings tend to bunch up in most underwear, and the flannel doesn't look as good as the flannel on other pads I've gotten. I traded away the pad that fit my underwear the worst (the wings went 9 inches, whereas on the others, they go 8 inches), and I've seen that pad get traded a couple times since, so I guess others have had the same problem with it. I do like having a couple pads with PUL for times when I know I won't be able to change pads as often as I'd like, but I guess they're just not for me.

I've only tried Claire's pantyliners, so my review is based on these. The pads were really well made, durable and reasonably priced, however I don't like the shape of them, b/c the wings travel the length of the pad - just a personal dislike, since I find it adds more bulk to an otherwise trim pad. I also find the pad in general to feel stiff and just not as comfy as my others. 3 stars.

Claire de Lune pads are so fun and funky! They are always shipped lightening quick and are very well sewn. Claire's customer service is great...friendly, sweet, and always quick to respond. I highly recommend these! 5 out of 5!

I purchased two Claire de Lune panty liners from a user who was thinning her stash !
I love them! They are made from quality materials and a big choice of fabrics! I'm glad I got my hand on 2 of these lovelies! 5-5!!

I LOVE her panty liners. They are a bit bigger and thicker then most but that is what I need right now during my pregnancy. Her shipping and sewing are top notch and I love my liners. I have 9 liners from her that i rotate through.

I have a pad and a pantyliner from Clair de Lune. I love the liner... super trim but still a nice size a find a lot of liners are a bit short for me and end up bunching because of it. This is always the first liner i reach for. The pad.... I like it. But I find it a bit stiff for my taste. Isn't bad under tighter clothing that keep it molded against me. But under loose clothing it wants to lay flat. It's still a good pad... thin but with plenty of protection for me. Customer service... it's been a while since i ordered these... but seem to remember they came in a reasonable amount of time and had little bonus gift too.
