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! |
