Advantages: Absorbent, nice fit

Disadvantages: Not sure about the odour free part

I usually opt for cheaper brands than Bodyform for pantyliners (my pads are Always though) but these were brought back for me a couple of weeks ago as they were on offer. I've never used Bodyform pantyliners before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect this.

***Packaging***
I don't usually comment much on packaging in my reviews but I am going to do so here. Although the product image that you can see above shows a silver box, mine is actually predominantly pink. Some of the packs of Bodyform contain a purse to put your pantyliner(s) in when you're out and about and mine is one of those. This is really handy as they aren't individually wrapped and are just loose in the box. The box itself is made from thin cardboard and has a tendency to get squashed when you start getting down to about halfway through the contents.

***Size/fit***
I like the extra long type as they fit much better than the normal/regular types and have better coverage. For a regular pair of knickers (by that I mean not thongs, boy shorts or hipsters), these pretty much cover the whole of the part that may theoretically be stained otherwise and I have never known them to move around and compromise my underwear despite them not having wings to keep them in place. There is also no overlapping over the edges either so you don't get that irritating chafing against your thighs.

***Absorbency***
These pantyliners are advertised as being "super-absorbent" in the core and have the ability to "lock in" the smell. I'm not sure about the latter part as they don't seem to be completely odour-free. I was impressed with the absorbency though as any moisture etc seemed to soak through into the actual core of the pantyliner so that there was little (if any) moisture on the surface of the pantyliner itself. This makes it more comfortable to wear pantyliners and is something that I don't really get with my cheaper own brand options.

***Price***
At Sainsbury's, a box of 24 pantyliners costs around £1.59, which isn't particularly cheap in general but you may be able to get them cheaper if there's an offer on. However, I really like these pantyliners though and much prefer them to the cheaper own brand types that I usually use and consider them worth the extra expense in comparison.

Summary: Far better than my cheaper buys
