Okay, so I finally caved and bought these bamboo puppy pads after my golden retriever puppy turned my living room into his personal bathroom. Here's the real tea:

🌿 The bamboo thing is legit - I was skeptical but they actually do neutralize odors better than the regular plastic ones. My apartment doesn't smell like a dog park anymore!

💧 Absorption is... interesting - They work great for normal pees (holds like 6 cups which is wild), but if my pup does his signature edge-pee move? Yeah, might get some spillage. Pro tip: put a tray under them.

🐾 Texture win - My pup doesn't try to dig through these like he did with other brands. The surface stays dry and doesn't stick to his paws - major plus!

📏 Size disclaimer - They're perfect for my medium-sized pup, but if you have a Great Dane or something, you might want bigger ones despite what the description says.

The packaging arrived crushed (thanks, delivery guy) but all pads were intact. Would I buy again? Absolutely - they're eco-friendly and actually work (most of the time). Just wish they came in XL for when my pup becomes full-sized!
