TOM Organic Ultra Thin Panty Liners

Far too much plastic – The liners themselves are good, they're thin and absorbent and stay put. They're not the thinnest liners around, but they're ok. My only issue with these is the amount of plastic packaging. Not only are the liners themselves individually wrapped in plastic, but then the liners are grouped together (like groups of 10 liners) and those are ALSO… Read more

wrapped in additional plastic. WHY. Why so much plastic?! You can't pretend to care about the environment by making a biodegradable liner, yet wrap it in an excessive amount of plastic. I won't be buying these again, simply due to the ridiculous amount of plastic. I'd rather buy liners that come in compostable packaging, or reusable liners.

One of the most environmentally friendly brands I have found re disposable sanitary – I emailed them (albeit ages ago) and they advised me everything was biodegradable and the only concession they made was they had to encase the liners in plastic due to legal regulations. I'm not sure if anything has changed since then. If it has I would be interested to know to be sure environment is being done the best possible by. They work fine. If you're having accidents you probably need pads instead of liners. Show details

Love Them! – I've never loved the idea of wearing pads. They always felt icky and uncomfortable but after switching to TOM products I'm now totally fine with wearing a pad. They are so comfy, you forget you're wearing it. THANKS TOM :)

I love this product! – I have really enjoyed using TOM products. I was so surprised at how utterly comfortable they are to wear - it doesn't even really feel like you are wearing a pad - perfect! I absolutely love it and totally recommend!

Liners That Don't Stick – These DO NOT stick to your underwear. They end up wonky it just defeats the purpose of a liner. It is sooooo frustrating. I also don't understand why they use excess packaging - they are wrapped in plastic and the the liner has another layer over the adhesive. Seems unnecessary! Show details

itchy material – uncomfortable due to having a reaction to the material which made me very itchy. I have only had this reaction with one other brand out of the many that i’ve tried. Wouldn’t recommend Tom organic unfortunately. It was comfortable otherwise but didn’t feel like it could absorb much (overnight ones) Show details

Strong case of greenwashing here – Tried these as part of a Flybuys offer. So glad I didn't pay for them. Very disappointed by the company's attempt at greenwashing their customers. Despite the organic label and claims of environmental friendliness all over the packet, they're encased in non-biodegradable plastic and each liner is wrapped in its own cosy layer of plastic. What… Read more

the ...? Why can't they just put them straight in the box, unfolded like Coles, Aldi and other brands? Terribly disappointed. I feel like I (and the environment) have been fully hoodwinked by this company.

Low quality product – I have used these liners for over a year, along with the regular and night pads, and also nappies. I have found that the liners and pads don’t stick to underwear and end up bunched up and to one side within the hour. The material disintegrates quickly and is like a thin piece of scrunchy-sounding cardboard. They are absorbent, however. I’m yet to find an eco product that does any better. Show details

These don’t stick to your underwear properly and move! – Such a waste of money. Will never purchase again. When I was walking they moved up my a**. I’ve tried both this and the super ones. They need to improve Show details

Used to be a fan – I bought this brand of liner for a long time , but lately it seems like the quality has gone down a lot , the liner disintegrates and come apart. And sometime when you take out a new one you can see the inside cotton part is off center . Seems like quality control + saving materials Will not buy again

If you buy these you’ll never be able to go out in public – I bought these because I wanted to change up my pad game and these were on sale at Woolworths. Someone was watching out for me today because I happened to be working from home all day and not out and about or in the OFFICE - these pads are not DURABLE! The top layer disintegrated and tore exposing the inside of the pad and it was so disgusting.… Read more

If I had gone another hour it would have been a throwback to me being 16 at a party and having a leak embarrassment! Do not wear these on your heaviest days! I don’t want to throw these out so I might just use them as a liner instead. I laughed when I opened the box and the pads were bundled in plastic and then individually wrapped. Kotex and libra just have the plastic packaging and the pads inside! Or panty liners in the box.

Too much plastic – Is it bad to say I haven’t even used one but am already so put off I won’t buy again?! Too much plastic. Each individually wrapped but they have another wrapper around them all. Such a waste and voiding my more eco friendly reason for buying them in the first place.

Not absorbent, thick fluffy material – I tried these hoping they would be an natural supermarket solution but instead was sorely disappointed to discover they are like a fluffy dry cottony material that doesn't absorb blood well. Fortunately to my delight I've since discovered the best organic pad brand and its called bamboo babe www.bamboobabe.com.au they will send you a free sample… Read more

pack to try them out and honestly, hands down I've tried every single organic brand these are the absolute best! They are razor thin and ridiculously absorbent, watch the video on their website, they are made from organic bamboo and the company is lovely. Unlike tom organic customer service which hides negative reviews. Bamboo babe for the win!

Not for me – First of all, so much plastic in the packaging. And worse still, the plastic packaging is so hard to rip apart. Not user friendly at all. The material is not comfortable, and I often suffer with vulval dermatitis after use, every single time. It never happened to me with other brands.. Show details

Try walking a dog – Walked my dog while on my p. Changed the pad before I went for a walk, got home to change again ( hour later ) and the pad was ripped my thighs rubbed so hard against the pad it was ripped up when I got home. Tho this isn’t the first organic pad I’ve used - other organic brands have sadly done the same. So I just use Kotex active now since I work… Read more

out everyday on the move. Little disappointed in it because the pad looks great ... just couldn’t handle me walking for a hour ( fast walker ) ... so I’m just gonna use the pads I have left for when I walk around the house so I know it will last better? Overall not good for my active workout. Sorry.

Good but definitely not eco-friendly – I love this sanitary because it didn't cause me any irritation. It is easily accessible from where I am at. It feels soft. On another note, I learned that this one uses a lot of plastic on the packaging. Show details

So much plastic wrapping in the box! – Was excited to find and try a product that was biodegradable. However, I was disappointed to find so much plastic used in the wrapping inside the box. Terribly misleading marketing for those of us trying to chose options which are more environmently friendly. Show details

Long time buyer BUT no more – I've been buying TOM for over a year they used to be great & was the only pad I'd wear but the last couple months they have changed the pad it feels stiff & hard like your wearing cardboard. I've stopped buying this product as it no longer breathes at all. Really disappointed have now thankfully found another brand that delivers.

Product has changed – I first started using Tom Organic Liners a year or more ago and was very happy with the quality which I found to be superior to similar products. However, the quality has deteriorated. At first I thought that maybe there was a faulty batch but after my latest purchase I accept that the product is now of an inferior quality and I will no longer purchase.

False advertising – The amount of plastic packaging on these is ridiculous. They've put them in a cardboard box and the pads themselves are biodegradable but each is also wrapped in plastic and there is another layer of plastic inside the box. As far as I'm concerned this is just a con to get environmentally conscious people to buy their products without knowing how much plastic is involved until they get home and open the box.

Horrible, cheap and tacky product. Most good reviews here are fake – I am shocked at the appalling quality of this product. Its like a garbage bag lining with low quality absorbent material that disintegrates and fails and the garbage bag like plastic lining makes crunchy sounds. After reading the reviews here I tried this product and was horrified at the tacky quality and couldn't believe anyone would want to use… Read more

this. Revisited the reviews to realise the ones recommending this product are fake and have written reviews for only Toms organics products. Gave a few left over to a couple of friends to try who were shocked at the terrible quality either. Had to bin the remaining unused bag. Do not recommend.

Love these! – Love TOM products - these are really absorbent, with no smell or irritation. It's a plus to me that they contain no nasty chemicals either. They are kind on the environment too. Won't buy anything else! I love how they stay put and are really good value for money.

the ONLY pads I will use – these are the only pads I will use now. They are comfortable, fit well and no leaks. I can wear them without having to worry about the pad moving or leaking, and no toxic chemicals! Where has this company been for the past 30 years?!

Not very absorbent – while I love the fact that these pads are organic, I won't be buying them again. I was going through 2-3 times the amount I'd usually use, and I was so worried they'd leak! This was impractical for me, as I can't be rushing off to the toilet so regularly!

Best Organic Quality - Can't live without it! – I am allergic to most female hygiene products - they literally melt my skin! I started using organic ones to avoid the uncomfort and had success. Ive triwd multiple organic cotton products but TOM organic is by far the BEST quality. Absolutely Faultless. It's a bonus that theyre not only good for me but for the environment too. I'm never turning back.

Swap to Tom organic now!! – I changed my sanitary products to the tom organic brand as I was having a very uncomfortable time with all other products. They attracted me as they are chemical free, and animal friendly which are all so important. The pads are so comfortable I never know I'm wearing one, they are very thin but so absorbent I've never had and leaks or issues. If your not using the tom brand you need to be!!

These are great!! – I have super sensitive skin and using non-organic pads cause me to break out into a rash, however these don't! They absorb my heavy flow really well and never once have they caused me to seep through and stain my underwear, even with a heavy flow. The wings are so sturdy! They don't peel off or bunch up at all. The pads don't have any 'wet… Read more

dog' smell - just a slight fresh cotton smell which is almost unnoticeable. They also don't make my period smell any worse then it already is.

They're super thin and make little to no sound when you wear them.

Also, they're only a couple of dollars more than non-organic pads, so you may as well give them a go!

Not very absorbent – Stains on my first day?! The wings aren't very practical, they are cotton so the blood easily spreads from the pad onto the wings... I've used three and have had the same problem of the wings being covered in blood.

Audible crunchy plastic backing – I like that these have no nasties, but that is no excuse to poorly design/construct them. They have an unnecessarily long and baggy casing around the absorbent cotton filling. It isn't shaped well to fit to the body, so bunches up when moving. Worst of all the plastic backing makes audible crunching/rustling noises when when your body is moving.… Read more

Not that my period is something to be ashamed about, but do we need to broadcast the fact and make life more uncomfortable at this time?

Surely there is a better alternative to crunchy plastic in a product that touts being natural? Make better designs!

Works well, not bulky – I've switched from using Libra ultra thins to these. As a long-term user of pads (I'm 52) and having tried out many other brands, I had stuck with the Libra brand for a couple of decades. So it was with a degree of nervousness that I picked up the TOM box. I'm so glad I did. They're truly ultra-thin, absorb well, and I like that they've used as… Read more

little plastic as possible in the packaging (although I'd love to see more compostable/recycleable materials used). Nice too that I'm able to use organic materials next to my sensitive skin. They're not priced much higher than comparable (non-organic) brands.

Foul smell but okay – Product works okay but they let off a foul smell even without being used I find they smell like wet dog I have never experienced this with any other female product.. It may be that it is organic cotton and nothing else but the smell from when I open up the packaging makes me feel ill.

Happy customer! – I have very sensitive skin and am so happy to have discovered TOM products. It is the only hypoallergenic organic product that I have come across to not cause irritation and pain. Before I discovered TOM I thought that I would have to put up with the discomfort, so I am happy to pay the little bit extra as this product is what it says it is. I… Read more

like that it is Hypoallergenic and is "hypoallergenic" not like competitive products which cause irritation Not available in all supermarkets & pharmacies
