Yay for Tamarack - I love these. I have 3 maxis and 4 mini's of the AIO style and adore them. They are super thin, with PUL so no leaks ever. They have all washed and worn very well over the last year or so. Despite their thinness they are really absorbent. All the fabric choices are great too! The shape is perfect with good coverage back and front. Good sturdy snaps as well. Also the shipping times have been super fast. Great maker!

I have a set of the Jazzy Pads. These are made similar to Lunapads at a much better price! They have a main pad that comes with three liners that fit onto the top.

The shipping was really fast! The pads were very well-made. No complaints here!

These pads are great! As was said before, JazzyPads have a waterproof base with bands that hold in absorbent liners (like the Lunapads design, but with a professionally applied plastic snap, a thinner base, and nonelastic bands) and CozyPads are AIO; I ordered a set of JazzyPads and a mini CozyPad off of Tamarack's Etsy shop in a fire print. Tamarack was good about answering questions I asked in messages before making a purchase, but when I finally made an order, there was a bad shipping delay; however, communication about it was excellent, and shipping charges were refunded in the end, plus I got a maxi CozyPad (in my favorite alien print) for the trouble. Needless to say, because the customer service was so good, I still feel like I would not hesitate to buy from Tamarack again.

When the pads arrived, they looked very professional. Although I wasn't expecting the mini to feel so thin, like a pantyliner, it really did the job of a mini, not just a pantyliner. I was also initially a bit worried about how big the JazzyPad set was because I tend towards smaller pads, but it was much more comfortable than the comparable size of Lunapads is, and the 3 liners and base got me through an entire heavy day without any leaks. (-: I still wish she'd make a mini size of JazzyPads, but I'm definitely not complaining about anything I've already bought. The AIOs have tab wings, making them way more resistant to bunching up than pads with wider wings. Even though the JazzyPad base has wide wings, the liners on top don't bunch at all, so it's really comfortable.

The pads have held up well in the wash; the flannel did pill a bit, however, it seems to be quite stain-resistant. The price was great, as JazzyPads are about half the cost of similarly designed Lunapads, but because of the differences, I like JazzyPads better. (-: CozyPads are about $5 each, which is a real bargain in general, not to mention the tab wings make them a very versatile design that can be worn with any style of underwear. I liked them a lot, so the price easily seems worth it, so I'd definitely recommend them to others.

Edit: It's been a year and a half since I bought my original set, and I'm still in love with these pads. I did lose my mini in the wash (stupid dorm laundry), but I bought another to replace it and am still pleased with the performance. They've all held up fantastically over frequent washes (except the one that ran away), and I'm eager to try the new smaller JazzyPads!

I gave these a 5! Very cute and you can definitely tell that she has lots of sewing experience. I have several Mini Cozy Pads and 2 sets of Jazzy Pads. Shipping was prompt and I think the price is good for the value of the product.

The Mini's are my favorite light day pad - I sometimes spot for 2 weeks out of every month. With these I don't have to wear anything bulky and if I suddenly flow heavier these don't fail. I have washed them several times and have had no shrinking or shifting. I am planning to buy more of these. I really can't believe how trim they are, yet they work wonderfully. You can wear these under jeans, workout clothes, etc. and they don't show. Her pattern is great too - the pad stays put and doesn't bunch up.

I have used the Jazzy Pads a couple of times, but since they are a bit bulkier I use them mostly at night. I like the "lunapad" style of these pads and the pads are extremely soft. She uses ribbon instead of rickrack to secure the pads and I like that it is much smoother than rickrack. I have had trouble with the base bunching up though which makes the pads shift around. I may try to stabilize it by stitching the layers together. Also, after one washing the polka dots started coming off the ribbon - no big deal functionally but it does make them look more "worn". But compared to a lunapad price tag, I'm willing to make a few modifications on my own to make them work. For me, there are times when I need the flexibility of something small and the liners are more compact than carrying around AIO pads. I love the prints she uses for these too - they are so cheerful.
