ELLEAIR Elis Super Ultra Thin Sanitary Pads 29cm 12 Count

At 29 cm this is a night-length pad, and the length is the point: overnight leaks usually happen at the back rather than through the pad, because you move. A longer pad covers the distance a standard daytime length cannot.

What makes the Japanese versions worth seeking out is that they manage the length without the bulk. Ultra thin pads at 29 cm sound like a contradiction and are not: the absorbent core is thin enough that the pad stays comfortable to sleep on rather than feeling like a folded towel.

The top sheet is the part that matters most in overnight use, when a pad is against the skin for eight hours. Elleair builds the Elis range around keeping it soft rather than plasticky. Twelve per pack covers the heavier nights across a cycle or two, and elleair makes the range in Japan.
