Perfect fit
Teens Day Pads
(Verified Purchase)
My 11 year old loves these. The 'teen' ones in the store are just way too big for her. She is tiny, weighing almost 80lbs., so these are perfect. They also come in individual bags with about 10 pads in each that can be taken quickly on the go. Very convenient for backpacks, overnight trips, etc. I have purchased these twice already and will continue to use this brand until my daughter outgrows them!

Teens Night Pads

Happy with product very good pads nice and comfortable and soft to touch and a lot better than any other pads out there. They are narrow fitting so very good for teenagers and young girls to wear as well all ages of women. They are nice and thing and comfortable for day and night like I said very soft not sweaty to wear like some pads are like plastic coating these are soft like cottong feel.
