Q: Did you change your product? I ordered size 1 and they did not have wings to wrap around the sides of the underwear.

submitted by Jodi - 11 days ago

  • A: Jodi, thank you for reaching Always with your concern about the wings, I will be more than happy to assist you over in here! Please note we haven't change anything with the wings on our pads. However, for the Always Ultra-Thin Pads we have them with flexi-wings and without wings. I could recommend checking the package to see which one you received. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns, we always want to hear from you!

New version chaffed me raw!

You changed the top surface of the pads without any sort of warning to customers. The new surface rubs like sandpaper. I am raw after only 4 hours wearing these new pads! I've been using these for 35 years and now I will have to find a new company. Why would you not communicate that there has been a major change to the materials used?

Very comfortable and reliable

These pads are extremely reliable I use them every month and I’ve had no problems and I’m quite a heavy bleeder! There is no smell that comes from them all round a great product! They’re really comfortable the texture you hardly feel! I don’t find they move much whilst wearing either!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfortable, Reliable, and Perfect Dail

I’ve been using Always Size 2 pads and they’ve become one of my must-have essentials. They’re thin but still super absorbent, which makes them comfortable to wear throughout the day without feeling bulky. The wings stay in place really well, and I’ve had no issues with leaks even on heavier flow days. The material is soft on the skin, no irritation, and it feels breathable. I also love that they stay discreet under clothes. Overall, a great balance of comfort and protection. Definitely a product I trust every month!

Terrible new version

I used the product for about 20 years and was very satisfied with it. Unfortunately, the new version is terrible, feels unpleasant to the touch, and doesn't absorb moisture. Because of this, I will have to choose another brand's product from now on. It's 2025, it’s about time to involve women in the development and testing of products made for women, or at least listen to women's opinions on this matter. This was a misguided change, and I definitely won't be buying Always again until they return to the original quality.

Small but mighty!

These will save you late at night when you're tired and ready for bed, but your cycle keeps going! I never worry when I have these. They are light but mighty! I'm someone who needs a lot of absorption, and it does the trick.

Durable

I've been using Always pads forever, and they're super comfy and quiet, unlike those "diaper" ones. My skin's pretty sensitive, so a lot of materials bug me, but these pads have been totally fine. They're seriously durable! I have endometriosis, so I change pads a lot more than most people, but I've never had any leaks. They're the perfect size too. The only thing is, sometimes I have trouble with the wings and the adhesive, which you'd think they'd have fixed by now. But overall, these pads are durable and a great value.

The best

These are my preferred pads of choice. The thickness is supportive but not overly thick and uncomfortable. You can get them with wings or without.

ALWAYS Yes for Me

Here's the thing, I truthfully believe you can never go wrong with an Always pad. I've been using this brand for more than 20 years now and I haven't looked back since. It provides a comfortable fit and you'll never have to worry about leaks at all! They come in all shapes and sizes, caters to your preferences and needs. Overall a happy camper!

These Always Ultra Thin 2 Long Super Pads are comf

I really like these pads. They’re super thin but still handle my flow without leaking, which is awesome. I barely feel them, and they stay in place all day. Odor control works well, and they’re comfortable even on long days. Definitely a reliable option if you want protection without feeling bulky.

Bad

I've been using these for over 30 years, but the last few months have been a disaster! Where's the mesh cover? The new pads are terrible, they feel like you're sitting in a puddle, everything is leaking. Bring back the old mesh cover!

Absorbing

This product is really good in absorption and lasts throughout the day. Scent free which is amazing. Good for movement all days. Fits very comfortably onto your under garment.

Barely there feel, serious protection — Always del

Such a lifesaver during heavier flow days. They’re super thin and comfortable but still really absorbent — I never feel bulky or worried about leaks. The wings keep everything in place, even on busy days, and I love how breathable they feel. They’re perfect for daytime wear when you want strong protection that still feels light and discreet.

Comfy

These pads are super light and thin, so they feel comfortable and barely noticeable throughout the day. The unscented design is great if you have sensitive skin or just prefer no fragrance. Some people find them a bit less cushiony than thicker pads, but for light flow days, they’re easy to wear and not irritating. The slim, no-wings design makes them easy to place and comfortable under clothes. They stay put pretty well in snug underwear, though they might shift a little if you move around a lot.

Great absorbency without bulk.

Great absorbency without being to bulky. They fit well and the wings help to keep in place. No problems with leaking. Only problem is I don’t prefer scented pads.

Not always the best.

Causes an allergic reaction last 4-5 months. Took a bit to catch onto what was going on.
