UPDATED BELOW!!!! Twice. Seek: ******* for why I removed 2 stars!
To be clear, the package directly says "contains 20% of organic cotton" which grammatically doesn't make sense, but aside from that, it leaves the rest of materials in question, if you are concerned about plastics and toxins. It is left to the imagination.
Now, on to the review.
I have tried MANY liners from all sides, both ends of the spectrum of natural to generic, pricey to cheap(the only ones I refuse are the ones with fragrance/scents... NO).
These are the best I have yet tried, and I believe under the circumstances, I would be hard pressed to find better, unless a new one was invented with more transparency and care of the ... Ingredient construction, shall we say.
At the end of the day, personally I do want something non-toxic, but also that actually works. This is the best of both worlds.
The gross cheap ones I have tried: LOUD and crinkley from all the plastic, it's quite embarrassing. Even bought ones where I opened the package, and it was clearly VINYL on the top!!! Can you believe that.
The other "natural" ones I have tried... Simply, gross!! They smell and fall apart. ???? Not really ideal!!!
********THIS PART UPDATED BELOW! These hold together for a reasonable amount of time, and as of this exact time, I have yet to experience any glue-sticking, which I read about in another review. Which is quite a relief, because I hesitated on the gamble for trying them out, for that very reason. In fact they are slightly less sticky than I thought, so maybe they listened, and adjusted?
Not loud, not crinkley, not smelly, not falling apart, not residually sticky. ???????? Praise God ???? and thank you!!

Update 1:
HOW HAVE I EVER USED ANYTHING ELSE.
I used primarily carefree (unscented) for years for lack of better options, and now THOSE ARE SO GROSS COMPARED TO THESE. THESE ARE AMAZING!!! I didn't realize how horribly inadequate the rest of the industry really was. These are the BEST.
Carefree ("carefree" LOL, not) liners build up really easily, absorption is so low. And they're obviously so synthetic. Sad that other brands are so much worse. And smell so bad, even though "unscented", for that matter.
There really is no comparison.
These are the new standard!!
These just hold up so much better, and can handle more, consistently. The end.
Buying the bigger bulk packages, from now on!!!

************UPDATE 2!!!!!!!!!
Re: stickiness, down 2 stars.
Clearly Rael knows HOW to make something sticky, as the pull-tab often doesn't separate from the wrapper, tearing it all open, instead of un-sticking. However, I have encountered a major problem. I don't know if different packaging processes make the liner batches different, but when I bought the larger 3-pack, I have had nothing but issues.
The actual liner does not hardly stick to my underwear, at all!! In fact it often moves, bunches on itself, and sticks to ME! Not acceptable at all, these are worse than useless! Do you know how uncomfortable that is to be walking?? And what's the point, if you can't even count on it to be where it's supposed to be? I am imploring Rael to get this right!!!!! They need to be able to stick in place. Please update me when this is corrected, or have better consumer control-testing!!! I am willing!!
