I’ve been using August pads for several months now and I love them. They feel great, are super absorbent, and I love that they are truly clean of harmful chemicals!

BUT the adhesive is driving me fucking insane. I saw old posts of people complaining that the adhesive was poor so I don’t know if they saw those and decided to bust out the super glue, but I struggle so much with taking them off my panties!! The adhesive is too strong and the plastic on the back is not strong enough so it ends up ripping and leaving strips of plastic basically super glued to my panties and I have to spend forever trying to pick it off. And then it leaves a sticky residue all over my panties too.

I love them otherwise but I am struggling so much with this and it’s driving me insane. Does anyone else have these issues with them?? Or can someone recommend a 100% natural non toxic brand for me to try instead?

    Maybe reusable pads would be a good move for you? My favorite brand right now is Padtastic. I usually get them on Etsy but I think they have their own website too.
