Horrible inprovement
Horrible inprovement. I used always all my life and now will switch to something else. No obsorvsion at all. I never bleeded through, now every single time. Eveything is eatching and the overall feeling is so bad. Also what triggers me is a silence from the brand on the obvious feedback
They burnt my sking left me itchy dry…
They burnt my sking left me itchy dry and swollen , had been suffering for a good year thinking it was just me until i was asked to change the make of pads i use ... very toxic do not use these pads
Poor absorption
Don't absorb as well as the old version. In fact everything just runs off the sides. No way can i tryst these anymore. Really don't like them and will be changing brands after 30 years of using them! Very disappointed.
Why is there no clear labelling to say…
Why is there no clear labelling to say they are scented. I don’t wanted scented pads.
I have used these for years
I have used these for years. They have always worked well.
I now have 2 new packs with a strange smell. Cheap pine perfume. Rough and not well padded. Poor absorbency.
I have been treating myself for itching,really sore in places where the towel touches my skin. Agony at times.
I thought it was because I have been taking antibiotics and that was where the soreness came from.
Glad that I came to this forum.
I use at least 365 of these pads per year.
Guess I will be spending my money elsewhere.
Used allways all my life I’m now 36
Used allways all my life I’m now 36, sinse changing the quality I’m going to have to stop using allways, don’t even no where to begin to what other product to use. I get itchy and my lips burn and so much irritation. Such poor quality now and not worth the price.
I thought it was just me, I’ve been wondering for ages now till speaking with someone and we London to each other about our periods and pads, and reading other peoples views I’m so glad it’s not just me.
After changing the product it's not… the same
After changing the product it's not worth the money.
Why did you change the product it work perfect. The new pad are useless not absorbing quickly. Leakage. Burning and irritation under neath. Never had it in the past.
Very disappointed with the new always.
Must look for a other product.
Poor quality of new pads, higher price
New pads, new material - POOR quality. Now pads don't absorb at all. The material was the main difference between "Always" and other brands, but now there's no point to pay more. Even comparing to other brands, always is no longer provides competitive product. I believe material change happened due to cost optimisation, but still the end price is only increasing. And this is all knowing how much women depend on their product. I suggest everyone stop buying, until brand gives comments
Very bad quality always bad material
Very bad quality always bad material. Old material so best. But now no any sticky with underwear. Please bring back old material .
New pads are the worst
New pads are completely different (in the worst ways).
Disappointed With the New Material – Not the Same Quality Anymore
The new pads feel completely different from the older ones. The top layer doesn’t seem to absorb the same way anymore.
I’m really disappointed because this used to be such a trustworthy product, and now I don’t feel confident using it during my period. I hope the company listens to its long-time customers and reconsiders the formula or at least offers the previous version again.

No confidence in using the new Infinity Flex protect!
I , like many, am very disappointed in the new Always Infinity flex protect pads. I really don't feel confident in using them as I have had a couple of incidents which I have never had before. The box says no leak- NOT ACCURATE!
I would love to speak to someone about this as they seriously need to go back to the drawing board to win back customer confidence!
I am very disappointed with their new…
I am very disappointed with their new pads. They used to be very good with high absorbing functionality however since they have changed them, they always leak and for first time in my entire life I had a huge leak on my pants while shopping and had to go back hole. Very frustrating
Disappointed
I am very disappointed with Always. Something has changed with their pads and liners and I can no longer wear them. I am extremely highly sensitive to chemicals and materials. They smell far too strong now and don't feel the same. After wearing them for a few days last week I was left feeling very ill and sore. I have switched them for an unscented leading brand and now I'm back to my "normal" state and the soreness and discomfort have completely disappeared. I will not be using Always again. I wrote to them about this, sharing my personal struggles with chronic health and how their product have increased my struggles. They didn't even acknowledge my struggles and the fact I am dying. Not even a "I'm sorry to hear that." A very uncaring brand.
I use the always platinum secure night…
I use the always platinum secure night pads and I use to love always products but they have changed the top layer it use to be comfortable but the change says its a gentle touch but the best way I can describe it I can have a pad on for an hr or 2 hrs or longer the amount of time does not change the fact that its like I get nappie rash its always sticking to my skin I need to look for either a different brand or find a different always product because it is starting to become painful
incontinence pads
incontinence pads. The ads are misleading who only pees 4 times in a day? They dont work causes embrassing mishaps. You sent and email apparently then a survey to ask what I thought of your suggestion.? What email what suggestion? Who pees 4 times a day 4 times a visit to the bathroom.
The advert is disgusting
The advert is disgusting. Bulky pee pads. Who speaks to their friend about this? Maybe the ad men didn't have any better ideas. They should get a life and think up something better rather than degrading women. These items are not sexy.
I wish I could give 0 star
I wish I could give 0 star. Why fix what is not broken Always. Wokism I guess, SMH. I have always used always and my favourite product was the secure night but now even the size 5 feels like a 2. It is such a disgraceful product, absolutely rubbish causing soils and leaks even when you've just had it on. You might as well not have it on. Absolutely disgraceful what they've done!
Thpad changes 2025e changes made ti Always pads 2025…
The changes made ti Always pads 2025 have Dissapointed me. Materials used uncomfortable and winged pads always ruffle. I will not be buying these now after many years of buying this brand.
