Ultra Thin Pads – Regular Reviews

First of all, thank you beautyheaven for the invitation to the Lovekins Event.

I enjoyed going to the event, meeting the founder and learned about thw product. During the event, the founder talked about her love for Australian indigenous community and the land, and the story of the cotton from Moree, Australia.

What we were not told, was that the products are actually manufactured in China. I was really shocked when I found out. Not because I do not use anything made in China, but for the representations and impression that was created at the event, the impression that was created was that the product was "Australian". For such an expensive product (almost $1/pad for overnight pads), I would have thought the company would bring the production back home, to justify the premium pricing and product image.

I also considered what the carbon footprint would be like to ship the cotton from australia to China for manufacture, and then to ship the products back from China to Australia. Surely all that carbon footprint can be saved by manufacturing the product in Australia.

As to the pads themselves, I thought I would enjoy wearing them. Unfortunately, when I was wearing a regular pad I had a major leak accident - at a family dinner. It was highly embarrassing. The product does not bring the liquid to the core fast enough. Therefore, liquid sits on the surface of the pad for a long time before it is fully absorbed, and this leads to overflow to the front and in this instance, the back of the pad. I am not impressed. This happened with the Super pad as well, which is longer.

Also due to the fact that it is not absorbing liquid quick enough, the liquid dries between the skin and the pad, causing the pad to stick to my skin. It is fairly disgusting.

I am not sure what the non-adhesive core technology is, and I thought that was not very well explained in the event. Regardless of whether it is innovative, it needs to work. For me, the speed of absorption is too slow.

The pads themselves are super thin. But if super thin means compromising the absorption, then let's make it thicker.

Overall, the pads didn't perform well, expensive and not impressed that they are made in China.

BRAND RESPONSE:
Dear Skincare Junkie,

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise that we have not been able to meet your expectations in our personal care product range for you.

We take our customer’s feedback seriously, and we will share this with our team as well as our R&D team. Please note that our intention is never to mislead our customers.

We have been very transparent in our packaging labelling and messaging of products that the feminine hygiene range is made with Australian ingredients and made in China.
During the development of our products we have travelled all around the world to seek the best manufacturer for our personal care range.
As much as we would love to support Australian manufacturers of this category: Australia does not lead in innovations within the feminine hygiene sector. We believe that the performance of our products and the use of Australian ingredients are as paramount as to sustain a thriving industry and job creation. Therefore, we chose to work with the best factories worldwide that adheres to SGS, ISO and EEA conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Many personal care brands in Australia and globally also use China manufacturing for these types of products.

As for the non-adhesive core innovation, this refers to excluding the usage of toxic glue in the sanitary pads to bind the absorbent core section. This innovation is not adopted in other feminine hygiene brands, and we have received many positive feedbacks appreciating the innovation that assists with women’s intimate health without irritations that would otherwise be apparent in sanitary products that utilise glue to bind the core section of the pads.

We apologise for your embarrassing moment, and that the product has not worked for you on this occasion. We do believe that the user experience of intimate products differs from woman to woman, as menstrual flow is a personal experience that varies across individuals. The liquid absorption of our products has been tested to be efficient and the performance above competitors in our R&D lab. We appreciate your feedback, and it remains our utmost priority to work on developing the best for our customers.

Kind Regards,
Team Lovekins

I received a pack of these regular pads at the recent Best in Beauty event (thanks BH and Lovekins!).

I was a bit sceptical when I opened up one of the pads as it was super thin and light, and I tend to have quite heavy flow on the first two days. What was immediately obvious is that the material is very soft, almost like fabric, and very comfortable. I was expecting to have to replace the pad after a couple of hours but I was surprised that I felt quite dry, and only had to change after four hours.

This is definitely a superior product, unlike any other pads that I've tried. Sadly, there aren't many stockists and it's something I'd like to be able to pick up at the local supermarket. I'm hoping that the brand will grow into mainstream retailers.

Thankyou beauty heaven for inviting me to try the range , and Sorry I was waiting and waiting for my period to come ,hence why I am late to post my review. 6 weeks later it finally came ....
I only had to use the regular pads . My experience was positive. These are individually wrapped in a pack of 10 . I personally found it difficult to open each pad , which isn't good when your in a hurry to get it on your undies ,that would have been the only flaw for my thoughts on the product. I love the fact that they are made with Australian cotton . They have a light weight feel while I wore it . It didn't feel like I was wearing a nappy while at work . The Absorption rating I would give 5 stars . I felt dry all day long while having to sit at a desk all day isn't fun on your monthlys , I would say I was confident that I wasn't going to have to change it until I got home at the and if the day . I would definitely buy this range as it is supporting Australia by using Australian cotton.

I received a pack of these Regular Lovekins pads at the Lovekins Trial Team event. I love that they're non-toxic and they are the first to have a non-adhesive core.

Once you find the perforation on the outer packaging, it is easy to open. Each pad is individually wrapped and the backing paper for the wings are also attached to the wrapper so that you don't have to pick up bits of paper off the floor. I found the sticky tape closing each pad fiddly to remove and don't think it's necessary to have this.

The most noticeable thing about the pad is how thin it is. It's almost as thin as a liner, but amazingly absorbent. I was worried it wouldn't absorb much, but I had no issues with leakage. It's a great, comfortable pad.

I'm so impressed with this product and will definitely be repurchasing!

i really liked these pads they weren't too thick or to thin I liked how the shape of the pads were also they are really good for beginners I believe I loved the little bag they all came in it really made it little more special the regular pads quite decent in size and length they won't to thick but they could have been a little bit thicker

The packing is a little bit plan but what you need with pads i like how easy they were open and remove and then place where they needed to be they stuck good they didn't remove easy n liked that they had wings I like the regular most of all I didn't dry out and that lasted didn't feel dirty felt clean.

Girls beginning their periods we'll use these more than others as beginners id recommend them to my niece family an friends

i was happy to try this product as i have been trying to source a good line of sanitary products.

When i received the parcel and opened it i loved the bag they came in and then i opened that bag i was suprised by the packaging of the products i loved it the feel was fantastic and the look was great too.
When i came to use the pads I found the Lovekins ultra thin sanitary pads in the regular to be a great product. They are easy and thin to have in your handbag they have a nice cover being plain. I did find them a little fiddly to open but all round i like the product. i find them comfortable to wear and the length was great to i found they were comfortable to wear and they did not leak.

Normally i can feel that i am wearing a pad but with his product i did not feel like that at all.

i will definitely continue to use this product.

I was so excited to try the line of Lovekins pads and sanitary liners!

When I received the product I immediately noticed how amazing the packaging was - the feel of packaging is a big deal to me!

Lucky for me, my period was due to start a couple of days after receiving the pads, and I was able to use the sanitary liners right away.
The liners for me were my favourite of all the products, and I will definitely buy them again.
They were soft, and stayed put all day, no matter what.

When it came time for me to try the pads, I opted for the regular pad as I don't have a super heavy flow. The pads themselves are long, but not bulky, meaning I could feel assured that nothing was going to escape and cause embarrassment for me during the day.

To be honest, I totally forgot that I was even wearing a pad - and that's the way it should be! :-)

The pads had wings which made them super secure, but the adhesion wasn't fantastic. I felt myself having to check more often that I should to make sure it was still stuck on.

All in all, I really enjoyed the product and would absolutely recommend to others - especially the liners, they are just luxurious!

I was really pleased with how comfortable the Lovekins Ultra Thin Regular Pads were and how well they stayed in place all day. I love that they are Eco friendly and made of natural Australian cotton. I had no irritation or discomfort from them and was very surprised that a pad so thin could hold so well. I will definitely be using these from now on.

I was fortunate enough to be included in this new product trial by beautyheaven for Lovekins Ultra thin regular pads. These pads claim to be eco- friendly and are only 0.1cm in thickness! I gotta say, when these came in the mail, I thought the incredibly compact packaging meant there was only a few pads included which I thought was an odd move but then I actually opened the package and could not believe how thin the pads were!

My period flow can vary anywhere between very light to super heavy and fluctuate between these two from period to period. This time, my period appeared to be of a lighter flow but still I felt these were super comfy and absorbent to be wear. And had it not been for three matching discomfort that comes with my period, I probably would have forgotten I was wearing a pad at all!
