Always Ultra Long Plus

For those of you who might remember a vague little op on my tampons,will perhaps recall a certain chap called Fluxboxer.(coo-ee! sorry to land you in it,lee! chortle!)He had visions of a tampon on wheels you see,and ..to save further embarassement/harasment I had a great laugh visualising this response my op's effect had on him,-so darlings-I shall concentrate on the rest of you and invite one and all to "do yer worst" with this one as Fluxboxer did. lol. For yep,folks! It's that gruesome time of month when the normally placid and chortling like a baby chrissie turns into a raving foam ... more

It’s that time of the month again. Oh, the joys of stomach cramps, nausea, cold swats, kidney pains and mood swings. Yes, that’s right, I’m having my period. (At this point I imagine any men reading, have run away). For reasons I won’t go into, I could never get the hang of tampons. Even after 17 years, I’m still having to use sanitary towels. When I was younger, my mother used to buy them for me. At the age of 10, I didn’t know what I was looking for. She used to get me these ‘things’ that resembled, felt like and had the absorbency of a brick ... more

Since I had my second child over 3 years ago my periods have been very irregular. They can occur every 3 weeks, 6 weeks or 3 or 4 months and I don’t have any idea when my next one will be. When I do have my period they can also vary from light to extremely heavy and again I never know from one month to the next what they will be like. As a result when I do have my period I want to feel comfortable and confident that the towels I use are doing their job. Over the years I have tried all different brands, including shop brands, but I have found that some are too bulky, some leak and some ... more

I have always used sanitary towels but trying to find the right ones have been a nightmare. I had pads that are comfortable but have not been very absorbent, then I have tried ones that have absorbed really well, but felt like you had a brick in your knickers. I have tried ones that have no flexiblility and have had ones that just crumple into bits of nothing. I had tried them all. I dreaded my next period, always worrying about not being protected from leakages. Then I bought these from boots. Purely because I had see them on a tv ad recently and it had stuck in my mind. I had always thought ... more

A sanitary towel is placed into the gusset of your pants and soaks up any fluid. They can be used during periods and also just before your period to save your pants. For as long as I can remember I have used Always towels as they are the most discrete and the most comfortable. When I went into hospital to have my daughter I took with me a couple of packs of night-time towels and provided they were changed every couple of hours they did the job better than the hospital pads. My favourite flavour(?) of always is Always Ultra Long Plus. They come in a purple wrapper and the standard size pack is ... more
