Advantages: Affordable, can cope with most light discharge etc

Disadvantages: Not individually wrapped, can't cope with heavier discharge or light periods

As part of my spending reduction, I've swapped my Always pantyliners for these own brand as I picked up two boxes of these for round about what I normally pay for one box of Always.

***The Pantyliners***
They are not individually wrapped and just come loose in the box. I prefer the individually wrapped types for greater convenience when I'm out and about but I can't really complain seeing as I was swayed by the fact that they're relatively inexpensive!

Each pantyliner is very subtly shaped so that it goes in slightly at the middle and rounded at top and bottom. Despite the fact that they're not specifically designed to fit your pants, I don't have a problem with them not doing so.

***Wearing Them***
They don't absorb as well as their more expensive counterparts - as I found out when my period started earlier than expected. The likes of Always have super-absorbent cores that claim to lock in moisture, but there is not of that here so anything above the usual discharge doesn't absorb too well and just sits on top of the pantyliner. As you can imagine, this isn't the nicest feeling!

***Overall Verdict***
For a basic pantyliner, these are pretty good but I wouldn't describe them as very suitable for anyone who has more than a small amount of discharge as they don't absorb too well. There is no nice scent either so this makes them quite messy and sometimes smelly depending on the situation. Having had the experience of wearing them when my period first started, I can vouch for this even though it wasn't a very heavy day. All in all, I'd say that they are a decent option if money is tight, but not as good as the more expensive brands. Basically, you get what you pay for here.

Summary: Decent enough for the price but not suitable for all situations
