Here is my review of the sampler Lunapad that I requested. I found this while searching about samples of reusable menstrual pads available online. For only $5 shipping&handling, I received this Lunapads Pantyliner sample. Included in the envelope I received was also a $5 off $35 coupon for future orders. This is what I received (minus a little booklet on care).

It's important to note that in order to receive this sample, you must have not purchased anything from Lunapads before so if you've bought stuff from them before, then this offer is not for you.
Overall, I must say that I'm excited to try this product out and pleased that they have a sample offer. I really like that there is a cheaper option in order to try out the pantyliner. I have been trying to try different products and companies in order to see what I like so a sample like this- even with $5 S&H is pretty exciting. Per the invoice that came with my sample, this product was worth $12 so I don't mind paying $5 to try it for the first time. It's nice to have this as an option before taking the plunge and investing more money by buying pads from a company. I have also ordered a sample from Party in My Pants which has yet to arrive and which I will also be posting a review on.
This is what it looks like when you go to the sample offer page.
Overall, I like the pad. It turned out to be much cuter than the plain black one posted on the website and I'm happy about that. I really love this little leopard print pattern and cotton candy pink lining. I must admit when I first got this sample, I was a little confused why a giant tag was hanging alongside the pad. I took out a pair of scissors to remove the inconveniently placed tag as seen here.
The back of the pantyliner
However after a quick visit to the Lunapads site, I realized that this was the back of the pad and the pink fleece lining was the part of the pad that would be towards me. Per the Lunapads FAQ: "The soft , solid-colour fleece panel should be facing your body, while the tag on the outside of the Lunapad faces your underwear." I don't mind having the tag there but I was surprised that both ends weren't stitched onto the pad itself like a clothing tag might be. I guess it's not that bad though since many underwear is the same way with those flyaway tags only stitched on at one end. Oh well, I can always cut it off later if it proves to be an issue.

(Sorry for the blurry picture).
Anyway, the pink fleece is nice and soft and the leopard print flannel backing is soft as well. It's pretty thin as to be expected from a pantyliner. It seems to be about 6 inches total in length. I expect it will be useful for light soiling at the end of my periods. It would also be useful for discharge and daily use as well.
Here is a picture of the pantyliner next to my glasses for reference.
I have just received the liner so I thought I would post my initial thoughts on the sample. An update is to follow once I have a chance to use the pantyliner.
