The Super Pad is extremely effective as a standalone period product, fitting into most traditional brief-style underwear. Yes, it’s gigantic, but it’s not bulky, and its padding uniquely has a slight warming effect that is soothing but that never veers into coochie furnace territory like some items I’ve tested, even on the hottest of summer days. In addition to the Super Pad, Aisle offers two smaller sizes, the Maxi (about $19) and Mini (about $16), which cover less surface area and are rated to absorb less fluid compared with the Super Pad.
Unlike other reusable cloth pads I’ve tried, the Aisle Super Pad stays put. The plastic snap is more secure than the hook and eye closures on some other pads, yet it isn’t noticeable while in use. This pad, due in part to its large size, also shifts around less than others, so you’re less likely to experience a leak.
