Size 6 Maxipad

This size 6 pad goes beyond Always size 5 Extra Heavy Overnight pad in that it has raised edges along the length to effect a better barrier at the edges of the pad. As well as being about an inch longer the size 6 also has a much wider back - on other pads the rear wings are for attachment purposes and do not contain absorbent material. The rear 'wings' on this contain substantial absorbent material. While this is marketed as a "Maxi" it is not an ultrathin but does seem to have less thickness than their regular maxipads. The only other pad as long as this is L's overnight Maxi but the thickness of that pad places it much closer to an ultrathin. These pads worked well. They are absorbent, soft, and if this is an issue for you, they are discrete owing to the fact that they are not super thick. I don't know that Always needed to make this product as the size 5 is pretty much the same thing except for the wider padded portion at the rear and the leak guard barriers which are borrowed from their 'Discrete' LBL pads. They are different market segments but if your period is that heavy you can pick up a package of Always Discrete pads. It pains me to mention it but it seems a lot of pad users don't seem to understand that even the best pad will leak of you are not wearing the right pair of undies. For pads, your underpants should fit you snugly - maybe wear a size or two smaller than your normal. Your panties should reliably hold that pad close to your body as you move. In my experience, undersized cheeky underwear works well for this. Avoid laser cut panties as they won't hold the outer edges of the pad into your bottom. Panties with a seam that runs from the back of the gusset to the middle back work well as they usually, when pulled tight, pull the middle of the pad into your butt crack, like how a thong works. Anyway, hope you have a more bearable period!

Leak barriers don't prevent leaks

These leak! The leak guard barriers held nothing in. It’s as if the material on the pad is not absorbent and the barriers lay flat causing flow to get on them making leaks worse. They’re also real big and get squished easily. The 5s are better.

Amazing love it!

I have been a plus size woman all my life with a heavy heavy flow. I’m so thankful ALWAYS finally came out with this product. On my heavy days in the past I would have to double up a size 5 overnight for better coverage but it was not quite enough This size wings span and everything is a wonderful just wonderful
1 reply from Customer Care team - 7 days ago

Huge coverage!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pads are honestly massive and almost make me feel like I'm wearing a diaper. They do have a lot of coverage which makes for a less concerning night time sleep time for no leaking.

Good coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s got good coverage but I had problems with it shifting around on my under wear. I also found it a bit too thick for me it felt overkill for what I needed.

Great full coverage pads

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pads are on the larger side but they are great for keeping EVERYTHING covered. No worry about accidental spills, this pad will catch it all. However, it drops trap sweat very easily and if you don't change it enough that constant wetness will cause some chafing. Usually during the day its changed enough it doesn't matter, but overnight when you're sleeping, it does make things uncomfortably damp.

Leak Proof!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you need something for overnight and a heavier flow - these are perfect. They are comfortable despite being big. And you don’t have to worry about leaks. They are great!

Protección all day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Always Maxi Size 6 with Wings has been a great option for heavier days. I really like the extra coverage and how well the wings help keep everything in place. It feels comfortable, absorbent, and gives me the confidence I need to go about my day without constantly worrying about leaks. Definitely a reliable option for my period, súper cheap.

Recommend for heavier flows!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my go-to pads for heavy days! I love how comfortable they are and how well they hold up on heavy days. The wings stay in place so I don’t have to worry about leaks. I always feel comfortable wearing these. Definitely recommend!

Never thought I could love a pad!

Virtually every complaint I have ever had about pads has been addressed in this design. Kudos to team/person who designed this thing...it has enough coverage (front & back) and wings are in right place. I used to wear 2 pads on heavy days to cover sudden issues standing or changing positions (iykyk & sometimes still had leaks), and since buying these I no longer need to do that. They are a bit thicker than my usual thin pads, but happily trade that to no longer have to worry about leaks or wearing 2.

Leak protection unmatched

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I have to say I love this product. The pad is kind of bulky, but it does provide full coverage. As far as leak protection unmatched. I wish that it was thinner but that's not a feature I'd be willing to trade for the leak protection this pad provides.

Overnight pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are awesome, super long do you have plenty of coverage throughout the night. They are sticky and feel soft on the skin. A little bulky, but still packaged nicely to be taken with you.
