Let's talk about these postpartum pads. First off, the softness is *chef's kiss*. After giving birth, comfort is everything, and these pads deliver on that front. They're like a cloud for your sensitive areas, especially if you've had stitches. Compared to some bulky hospital pads, these feel much gentler.

However... the size issue is real. The '20 inches' includes the non-adhesive tail, which feels misleading. I had the same problem as other reviewers - needed to double up for full coverage. Not ideal when you're already dealing with postpartum recovery.

The absorbency claim is hit or miss. For moderate flow they work okay, but during heavier moments? Leak city. That back leakage some mentioned? Unfortunately experienced it myself during a nap session.

On the plus side, the adhesive strip works well (when you actually get it positioned right). They stay put better than wingless pads usually do. And they are genuinely comfortable - no irritation even after hours of wear.

Final verdict? Great for light-to-medium days when paired with proper underwear. Wouldn't rely on them alone for heavy postpartum bleeding though. Maybe keep some backups handy just in case.
