Libra Pads
83 reviews
They make me itch so I don't like them. And the same goes for some of my work colleagues too. Not just them though carefree as well. I only use Evamay products.
I’m 42. And have been using Libra pads since my very first period. I don’t know what has happened, but there has been a slow decline in the quality of Libras pads. Years ago I noticed the adhesive wasn’t sticking properly or it would stick too much and you’d be pulling a bloody pad off your knickers in pieces. In the last 2 years I’ve noticed… Read more
slight skin irritation (itchy skin). Now, I’ve noticed the pad is not absorbing half the amount it use to. And no, it’s not just me and my flow possibly being heavier, because it’s not. My teenage daughter has noticed this as well. At this point, I think it’s time to finally say goodbye to Libra and look for something else. Although, going by the reviews from other women of some of the other pads around, it would seem that they are all using the same crappy cheap materials. Very sad that in this day and age a woman can’t have a period and be confident to go out and not potentially have a messy situation happen. Disgraceful that these companies have chosen profit over quality. We’ve actually gone backwards in sanitary products. It’s not the 1800’s. But I guess all the CEO”s are men at Libra and it’s not a man’s issue, so who cares right…..? Do better.
Wings residue sticks to my undies making it VERY hard to get off. It's not pleasant trying to pick off the remnants of sticky stuff while sitting on the loo!! Horrible pads. Show details

Yellow dots on Libra pads… – Been using Libra for a long long time, never paid attention to the pads until today I was bored only toilet and stared at the pads, and found lots of yellow/blackish dots on the Libra pads. I don’t know if they are supposed to look like this or if there is some quality issue
Male genitalia image on female panty liner????? – When I opened the Libra proskin liner I noticed an odd image on the inside of the liner, accentuated by the perforations! Thinking I was imagining something quite inappropriate I asked my husband and he confirmed that the inner of the liner is an outline of the male genitalia! He was horrified as was I! Is this a sick joke! Whoever thought this was a good idea? I won’t be buying this brand ever again!!! Show details
I found maggots – I purchased a packet of Libra Liners and inside the packet were two maggots how and disgusting and don't know what to do complete shock to finding this inside the packet Show details

Unhealthy to wear – Dots everywhere on the pads. I opened another one and it is the same. It looks filthy and unhealthy for my private part. I'm pretty sure that was the reason why I got this uncomfortable feeling down there Show details
Disgusting black dots on pads – I just opened a pack of libra super with wings 12pads, all of the pads has tiny black dots on them, its disgusting! There is no expiry date stated on the pack, only a production code. Show details
Positive reviews
amazing – these pads i always get for my daughter. They absorb her period blood perfectly fine and don't bunch up like other pads do, I would definitely recommend it to you
Practically perfect – I love libras invisible sport pads(regular) however I'm not to satisfied with their overnight pads because they aren't wide enough for me when I have a heavy flow. also they are very quiet to open and are comfortable to wear which I like a lot.
Gets me through – Periods suuuuuuck and Libra Fun Facts gets me through <33 Saved my life soooo many times with the versatility of their range, from micro panti liners i keep in my purse to heavy-flow night pads. 10/10 love this brand so much! Would like to see some more empowering advertisement though such as other pad companies have been leading in <333
Negative reviews
Never again. Like others said, the glue on the pad cannot be removed from the undie, and the cotton fluff inside rips and gets everywhere. The worst pad I've ever used. Show details

Rubbish product - avoid!! – Absolute garbage product. My regular choice wasn’t available so I tried these ones. The quality is terrible, the pad itself bunches up and gets caught in your butt and I’ve just sat here for 30 minutes trying to get the sticky residue from the wings off my undies before throwing them in the wash. Won’t use the rest of the pack and I’ll never buy them again. Show details
Very sticky glue – I'm not sure if there has been a change in manufacturing. Whatever adherence product is used to keep the pad attached is now so sticky it leaves parts of the lining of the pad attached to my underwear. It is next to impossible to remove. It's a worse mess to clean up than it would be to have not used one at all. Please, find a different adherence method. Show details

Not what they used to be – Definitely not what they used to be, much smaller now and shorter. I rang up the company and they denied a change in the pads size. Will not buy again.
Do not buy – I used to be a big fan.i just bought my regular one yesterday. I was so shocked They thiner the products and quality so low..they put price up and worsen the product.so sad to not buy again...straight to bin.so sad to see many products like this as soon as get the customer they change their quality to low.
horrible – never ever in my life i have these kind of rashes from pads! i have severe rashes from 3 months now! i have tried every thing but they are not going! at first i thought i was razor burns but rashes got better in between periods then when i again used them boom i was again left with severe pain ful itchy rashes! never gonna buy them again! now i am… Read more
thinking that may be they are the reason i have developed problem with my uterus in the last year! i was new in australia i didn’t think much of pads! i grab them when i went to coles! my bad decision
Bunchy!! – Overnight pads are bunchy and noisy . Don’t do the job they’re supposed to do. Wake up with leaks and the inside material of the pad all bunched up! Show details
I do not have sensitive skin – Absolutely medically unsound. Created itchy unsettling scratching. This product needs to be checked by the Australian product team. Unhealthy Show details
I've never had to change my pads this often in 20 years! – I never write anything , but this time I had to. I purchased the "libra cotton organic pads", before a long flight. I never had to change my pads so often in 20 years. I used the whole thing in 1 day. The pad didn't absorbed anything and the wings kept moving , after 30 minutes, all the blood would go on the underwear. I felt so incomfortable and… Read more
insecure during my whole flight that I have to secure my undies with toilet paper. I thought for this price, it would have been my best option. I feel ripped off and never gonna go for this brand again!
Noisy wrappers – One would think after so long of making a pad that they would design a wrapper that's not so noisy and obvious to others. Wings never seem to stay stuck on the pants they always come off. Show details

Very bad skin reaction/burn from libra pads – I've had a very bad skin reaction from wearing libra pads for the last 2 days. My skin is red raw as if I've been painted with red ink. It's quite extensive and very painful, in every place that this product has been against my skin. I realise not every body is going to react like I have, but why include ANY ingredients that have a chance of producing this? It's such a sensitive area and now I can hardly walk! I hope it's not hard to heal... Show details
Why are these on the shelves ? – These pads do not work! They can not absorb the smallest amount of liquid and are poorly designed. Feel like you are wearing a nappy! Whisper pads are so well designed, super absorbent and reliable. Why is crap product like Libra able to be bought everywhere? Show details
I would not use it even if u give it to me for free;) – DOES NOT STICK. the sides would just stick to itself and roll up to the middle. Not to mention it's so thick (makes ur butt extremely sweaty) and makes a plastic-y noise. This pad is more frustrating than period itself<3 Show details
Horrible and cheap – These pads are so bad. If you want to sound like you're wearing a loud nappy and want everyone to know you're wearing a pad then buy these! By far the worst brand on the market.
Unbearable pain – I am writing to express my concern and extreme dissatisfaction with Libra products and to also find out who else has experienced this. If i could give a minus 1000 stars for this product, I would. In March due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia sanitary products were in shortage so I ended up buying Libra panty liners for the… Read more
first time. I do not have sensitive skin so I did not think twice before purchasing it. After using the panty liners a couple of times I was left with a really severe rash around my private areas that took 2 months to heal completely. This was my first entirely unsatisfactory experience with libra products.
Recently, I gave birth to my son, and I had purchased a couple of different brands of maternity pads (as each brand has a different size and different features in their design to see what works best). I also purchased Libra maternity pads thinking maybe it was only the panty liners that I had reacted to. The first set of pads I started using after giving birth was the Libra maternity pads. I am horrified to say what this pad has caused - after only using 3 pads I was left with severe burning sensations followed by an excruciating rash on and around my private areas. My skin is falling off and it's extremely raw and painful. After giving birth, this was the last thing I wanted to deal with. Now, I am scheduled to see a doctor to address the damage on my skin.
It really makes me question the way Libra produces their products and the things that go into them which results in rush rapid skin damage with only couple of time use. So please let me know If you have also experienced such things with Libra products.
bad quality – I won't buy this brand again they're terrible. I bought few packs from aldi, they had a brand called olivia before which was really good. so not sure why they changed it. Show details
The worst – Constantly bunch up and fall out the side of my underwear, they leak and the make scrunchie noises when you move. For years I just thought this is how pads were, thankfully I tried other brands and learnt how a pad should be made. Just the worst really. Show details
Libra, you really need to improve the quality of your pads. Seriously – Libra Extra pads are terrible! Wings so thin and flimsy that they're pretty much useless, and the whole pad is literally like a bag filled with loose cotton. These pads scrunch so much even if you just sit around all day! As a female with a heavier flow, I'd honestly prefer it if Libra improves their pad design rather than their packaging, since… Read more
women care much more about absorbency and comfort! But no, Libra won't listen - they always change the packaging but their pads are just so mediocre (and quality-wise, pretty bad) for an expensive pad. I'll be honest - I like the new packaging, and I don't think they should change it again (they change the packaging like every 2 years)! Honestly, Libra Extra pads are not worth the buy - not even half price. If you want something good and cheap, try Coles Extra pads - $1.80 a pack and made in Belgium too.
