These are pads for paper pants. There are various types of paper diapers and pads, and it's hard to know which ones are good without trying them. I think it's wise to buy a sample before purchasing in bulk to avoid making a mistake if they don't suit you. I used these when I couldn't get out of bed, but I no longer need them, so I'd like to give the remaining ones to someone who needs them now. I will ship them in a clean condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about cleanliness.
