Can't handle the new fragrance.
I had an older package (purchased over 5 years ago) of this product which I was very happy with. I just bought a new package recently and am unable to use it because of the strong scent that they now have. I am unable to use anything that has a synthetic fragrance as these now have. I wonder if they come in an unscented version?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 4 days ago
I'm sorry to hear the scent in your Always Discreet Underwear Base is causing discomfort. We truly value your feedback and will share it with our quality team to help improve our products. For a fragrance-free option, I recommend trying Always Discreet Postpartum underwear, which is made soft, fragrance-free, and gentle for sensitive skin.

Avoid this product
I wanted to absolutely love this product, considering the hospital doesn’t provide the best underwear/pad situation but I got a horrific rash from these. Also, sizing is certainly wonky. I think there are better options on the market like parosol postpartum disposable underwear

I used them during postpartum, very soft almost didn't know it was there. 1 year and a half later I still buy this for those days when period is a lil bit heavier or during nighttime.

Great for Postpartum
Perfect for postpartum. I would definitely size up, but they are way more comfortable than the hospital diapers.

A Waste of Earth's Resources
The box packaging when I buy more than one order of these is a shame! The cardboard has plastic advertising sealed to it, and it is impossible for me to separate the plastic from the cardboard. So, this box CANNOT be recycled!! Thus, the cardboard goes into a landfill, wasting the resources that are used to make cardboard. Trees!!

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the packaging of Always Discreet Underwear Base S/M. We understand how important recycling is and appreciate your feedback about the difficulty separating the plastic from the cardboard.

Comfortable, other brands felt like they snagged at my stitches post partum. These were comfortable and worked with heavy post partum bleeding. I’m still wearing them 3 weeks post partum for lighter bleeding as well.

Tight and uncomfortable
I purchased the correct size but they are so tight I can’t wear them. Ended up throwing these away and using the hospital ones. Go up a size if you really want to use these
1 reply from Always team - 2 months ago
I'm sorry to hear the S/M size felt too tight for you. Always Discreet Maximum Underwear does come in larger sizes like Large and XL, which might offer a more comfortable fit. Your feedback about the fit is really important, and I’ll be sure to share it with our quality team. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Size up
The size chart is very inaccurate. For reference, I am 5”4’ and weigh 140 lbs. I got a S/M because my size and weight fell well within the guideline. Go to try one on, too small and had to cut the leg holes because they were way too tight on my legs.
1 reply from Always team - 3 months ago
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry to hear the S/M size felt too tight on your legs. Always Discreet underwear is designed to fit like regular underwear, and the sizing chart is meant to guide you, but sometimes fit can vary by individual. I’ll be sure to share your feedback with our quality team to help improve our sizing guidance.

Runs small
The size guidance is not very helpful. With most maternity things, you use pre-baby sizing to choose. Well boy howdy I quickly learned I needed a large in these, especially having a larger backside. Even after buying the large, I feel like they are just barely covering my behind.

Sized Wrong
First the S/M size cannot include medium size to fit a size S. Small is small and medium is medium, period. I purchased a pack of S/M and they are too small. I notice you have a L for large.

Size up to the large
Love this product, much better than wearing disposable underwear with gauze pad. Leg holes are small. Recommend going up to the large size especially immediately postpartum. Once your swelling goes down the small size may fit ok.

have always used Always Discreet pads and thought I would try the underwear. So light that you hardly know you are wearing them. Very easy to get into and feel confident of no leaks.Would buy again.

Meh, better than having to deal with pads.
I got these for heavy periods since they are the only ones Always have that are unscented. There’s NO WAY the sizing is correct. The S/M says 100-190lbs. I weigh 98lbs and they were REALLY snug on me. Given, I get bloated during that time, but not an extra 92lbs. Also, they are uncomfortably bulky for no reason. They don’t absorb any better or differently than the regular, black Always period underwear that are slightly less bulky (but scented and irritating to my sensitive areas). I leaked through them after 5 or 6 hours 2 days in a row. They aren’t the worst, but the other brand (I don’t know if I’m allowed to say the name, but it’s the South Korean ones that start with an “R”) Target used to have in stores were MUCH better. My store doesn’t carry them anymore though.
1 reply from Always team - 5 months ago
Thank you for your feedback on our Always Discreet Postpartum Underwear. We're very sorry to hear the S/M size was too snug despite your weight, and that you found them bulky and experienced leaks. While our sizing chart is a guide, optimal fit is crucial for absorbency and leak protection, and more frequent changes may be needed. Your detailed comments are invaluable as we strive to improve.

Listen to other reviews!! These are SMALL!
Trust the reviews these are small. For my I can only share my experience. These say up to size 14, I’d say max size is maybe a 10? I only say that because I was a size 8 before pregnancy and while I bought these and tried them out before delivery these are still small and I’m only 20 weeks along. I’ve gained 10 pounds max so far. I was worried based on reviews that these sucked so I wanted to prep before I even got to being postpartum. If you’re in a different situation with gaining more weight during pregnancy I’d suggest sizing up. If you remained the same size or decreased in weight then maybe it’ll be accurate to you. Other than the size I’d say these are good. They were soft and the pad area covered a lot. But this review isn’t based on postpartum use.

itchy and not worth it
these seemed like a great idea. however, during the first week post partum (when I really needed this sort of product) my belly was still too big for them to fit - I should have bought the xL ones I guess, even though when not pregnant I wear size 6 pants? Also these were kinda itchy. In the end I preferred the stuff they gave me at the hospital, and won't waste my money on these if I have another kid
