I could have used this when I started a few days ago. I started in the middle of the night and didn’t realize it until it was way too late. I start heavy and I’m not sure it will all come out of the sheets or my pj bottoms. Happens to all of us I guess, but #$%$#@. I’ve never used an “overnight” pad and may look into these. It’s been that kind of week.

Packaging
There are 14 Stayfree feminine pads and they come in an extremely compact plastic package.
Pads are individually wrapped in white plastic wrapping with no sticker or adhesive. I find that the plastic wrapping didn’t make too much noise but the plastic is weak and the sides started to tear open as I was just pulling it out of the package.
The Stayfree Overnight pads are one of the largest pads I have reviewed and is packaged in a way to minimize the plastic packaging. This great but it makes disposing of the pad inconvenient since there is just enough plastic wrapping and also little adhesive on the plastic to keep a used pad rolled up.
When wrapped, it measures 13.4cm by 11.0cm and is 0.5cm thin.
When unwrapped, it measures 30.7cm by 7.2 – 15.0cm and is 0.1cm thin.
Absorbency
This pad features eighteen anti-leak channels, NIGHT GUARD zone for extra protection and is advertised for overnight heavy flow.
Absorbency is super fast thanks to its Thermo-Control technology to quickly wick away moisture and to keep you dry. Sound familiar? Their Thermo-Control was inspired by athletic wear that wicks sweat from your body. I know you are all wondering.. Does this work? Or is it just a gimmick? Even on my heaviest day, I felt very dry even after experiencing a gush! So yes, it keeps me feeling dry even at my heaviest flow! Impressive!I experienced zero leakage and most times even the period that somehow drifted off away from the center was absorbed and spread out along the edges. I found that most of the period absorbed into the blue Anti Leak Core. There was as much period on top as there was on the bottom. This pad has an amazing ability to absorb and spread out the period so it does not over saturate.
Breathability
The pad has a nice clean scent that is not advertised and Thermo Control technology to wick and absorb period away from your body to keep you feeling dry and clean. Even on a heavy flow night when I felt the most uncomfortable, I still woke up feeling dry and clean down there.What I love most about this pad is its cottony soft cover. This used to be my go-to pad in highschool and I remember trying new pads to find the softest cover and I always went back to this one. I think the addition of the Thermo Control technology really improves the performance of the Stayfree line. The cottony soft cover felt dry to the touch even after a night’s sleep! The breathability is very good in that it keeps my skin dry and the pad dry without ever feeling soggy or moist.
Wings & Adhesive
I find that pads with a paper backing rather than a plastic backing have a stronger adhesive and this pad is no exception. It is sticky enough to keep the pad in place but not so sticky that I have to pry the wings off when I change my pad. I find that the combination of the large size and adhesive works best on cotton panties and not on satin or stretchy panties.
Shown above in blue are the parts with adhesive.
Wear Test
This pad is one of the largest pads I’ve tested and despite its large size, it measures only 1mm thin and does not feel like a diaper. I experienced zero creasing and the pad was highly flexible, always bouncing back into shape, something really important especially for night time wear (because it’s not like you will know you are leaking when you are asleep!)My favourite feature of Stayfree is its Ultra Soft Cottony Dry Cover and stays soft even after absorption and hours of wear. I found that the cover in combination with its Thermo Control Technology and Anti Leak Core really worked effectively to keep me dry and the pad cover feeling dry even on a heavy flow overnight wear. Quite impressive and provided maximum comfort!
During heavy flow, I was very impressed with the absorption and its ability to spread out even when it was along the edges to prevent over saturation and leakage. Most of my period absorbed into the blue Anti Leak Core.
Summary
Overall the Stayfree Overnight Ultra Thins With Night-Guard Zone are a great choice for an overnight pad. They are super thin and its Thermo Control technology and Anti Leak Core make this pad even comparable to Always Infinity except cheaper. This pad has the best breathability that I have ever experienced its Ultra Soft Cottony Dry Cover leaves my skin and the pad cover feeling dry even after a heavy flow overnight wear. The Night Guard Zone makes this pad optimal for sleeping and eliminates the worry of leaking at the back. It’s packaging could use some improvement as the sides tear open very easily but the overall product itself is great.
On a heavy overnight: Highly recommended
On a heavy day: Recommended, but Night Guard zone works best for overnight wear
On a normal day: Not recommended for normal flow, save these for the heavy flows!
Also recommended for: Activities where you will be lying down
Packaging 3/5
Absorbency 5/5
Breathability 4.5/5
Adhesive 4/5
Weartest 4.5/5

Recently tricked my dad into buying a bit more than i needed ( im 14 and like a chipmunk i like to store my “nuts”( or pads) for the “winter”( or TOM):D)
and these night time pads were one of the products i got i have to say these pads were the most comfy pads i bought so far and i think i might buy these again it did what no night pad did for me before.. elimante the need to stack a pad over the back of my night pad 
these are a def come back to brand -
Hey Cindy! I find that overnight pads that cover the bum area to be most effective and these ones defintely have you covered!
@Breanna haha I stock up too! If they are on sale, might as well! I’m glad you like this pad
-
I find them very wet,they dont absorb well,why so?
-
Hmm I actually really like these pads but everyone has their own preferences and may experience the pad differently.
Perhaps you can give them another try?

Well, I leaked last night, and i woke up to a mess. When I went to sleep it was heavy, so I wore always overnights, but that was a disaster. I used to hate always, then I liked always infinity until they started leaking… Guess I’m gonna try these stayfree ones now! My always heavy pad leaked about an hour ago, so so far I’ve ruined 3 pairs of undies, pj bottoms, and hopefully the stain will come out of my sweat pants… I started yesterday. Ugh

Oh no! It sounds like you should change your pad more frequently. If you are leaking from the back, try placing your pad further back where you need more protection.

Hey! Along with these pads, you should give Adira Period Panties a try. I have been using Adira Period Panty for 3 months now and I must say that it is one product every woman must possess. They really help prevent stains and leaks.

Hey! Love your blog! I would loove to see how you store your period supplies (you must have lots because of this blog) and keep them organized! Can you do a post on that? Thanks!

Love these! They are inexpensive and comfortable even on a heavy day. My daughter uses them too. She likes a thin pad and these work great for her.

Glad you found something u and ur daughter like!

Love the touch to skin and the “thermo control’.
Not so much a fan of the adhesive. Will try the cotton panties, instead of the stretchie ones, as mentioned in another product review
Not too thrilled about them, would like them even a bit longer. -
Loving the Overnights – but hating that Stayfree has changed the Ultra Thin Long and Ultra Thin Regular in the last couple of months. The backing isn’t nearly as good,and the material starts tearing fairly quickly, which causes cottony bits to start falling. I play sports, so this can get embarrassing! I’ve been a loyal Stayfree fan for years, but think it’s time to change what I use in the daytime
