I cannot recall exactly how I came across joni but I remember thinking to myself "I will try those once I am close to being done with my Always pads". I was a bit sceptical at first, absolutely, primarily because I wasn't sure if the joni pads would hold up on the absorbency factor. Now that I have tried them out, I am super happy with my subscription and can't help but feel "what a shame I didn't find out about joni earlier!". I have shared my experience at my work place, in hopes of getting more individuals to switch away and feel good on multiple fronts - oneself, community-giving, and the planet! The fact that I can actually put these products into compost is just.... immensely fabulous. Thank you for making such products exist, joni - hope that your company will thrive :)
