"I like them. When they are dirty I change them. I don't like the bulky paper bedding or what ever they are. I like these. They are easy to change and clean."

— Mary

"Picture of 4 packs, but you only get 1. Very deceptive. When I called and complained, they sent me 1 more."

Bottom Line

While useful for its intended purpose, significant packaging flaws and questionable value for money make this a risky purchase. Consider other alternatives if packaging quality is important to you.
