Always and forever 09/06/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages As reliable as your best friend
Disadvantages Having to pay for 'feminine hygiene' at all!

Reading through what some other people have wrote has made me realise some things I think about Always that nobody else has mentioned. As we all know, these sanitary towels come in packs of 12 and 24 and cost anything between £1.15 for 12 from Asda to £2.50 for 24 from Boots. They're often on special offer so stock up when you can. I don't use tampons - I never have and the only time I tried one, I fainted because I got too freaked out, being so squeamish, so I've never bothered since. I've been using Always Ultra for about 10 years now (have they really been around that long?) and I can ... more

No Leakages 16/07/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Very thin, No leakages so far
Disadvantages expensive

Always Night Time are an absolute god send! I have suffered from heavy periods ever since i started and that time of the month always used to be extremely depressing for me. After trying quilted ones, winged ones and rub your thighs thick ones i would still suffer from leakages and life was really becoming unbearable. That was when mom came home with the ultimate solution... ALWAYS NIGHT TIMES! Priced at about £2.18 for 10 you might be forgiven for thinking these are expensive but trust me - they're worth it! Looking at the packet and seeing the word night time scared me "BIG THICK COTTON ... more

Ultra Absorbent 15/02/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Fantastic for absorbency and really comfortable too
Disadvantages n/a

I have long been a sufferer of heavy periods and would find it increasingly difficult to get a make of sanitary towel that was suitable for my needs. I have never been a big fan of tampons so I had to try and discover another alternative. Then Always Ultra Plus (as it was then known) came along claiming that they were the best towels that you could buy plus a lot thinner and more comfortable than any other too. Being totally sick of the really thick, uncomfortable, and all in all never very good, Dr Whites Style towel I decided to give them a go. I am extremely glad that I did. The Always ... more

Barbed wire in yer knicks 13/07/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Ask her
Disadvantages Ask her

"How many women on their period does it take to change a light bulb?" "Five." "Why?" "COS I BLEEDING WELL SAY SO, ALRIGHT, YOU PIG!!!!!!!!" Tee hee, fall about at the jolly jape poking fun at the fairer sex.... The dave27 Book of Bathroom Products moves on once more to another phase and in doing so rubs up against one of the darkest of dark taboos - but that's the dave27 approach for you, daring to go where no man has gone before with his toggle in his hand and a song in his heart .... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GIVE YOU THE SANITARY TOWEL, that most secretive of all implements, as made ultra ... more

Nothing comes close 26/02/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Dryer, comfortable, no huge wedge
Disadvantages Can get stuck in places

Being a women one thing we have to endure is the dreaded monthly circle, where we give our partners grief for a week, with our constant mood swings, and PMT, still at last I have found the pad that I have been looking for, without feeling I've got a brick stuck between my legs, that moves everytime you walk and leaks at the sides. Always ultra with wings certainly beats that uncomfortable wedge, that I used to have and instead provides comfort and dryness, thanks to the top weave cover it has, also the wings stop it moving and gives you a bit more protection at the sides. The only thing I ... more

Always with wings 12/07/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages Thin, compact, excellent coverage
Disadvantages Price

I have tried many types of pads, however the winner everytime is Always Ultra with wings. They are ultra-thin, not bulky like many pads. Also the wings prevent any spillage over the sides. The wings on Always are much better than any other pad I've seen. Great for nighttime use, and they are so thin that they are even great for day. They are pricier than some, but the better quality makes it worthwhile for me. But then, I don't think women should even have to pay for these things, it's punishment enough to have periods! ... more

Menopause problems 14/07/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages Always Ultra provide good protection for heavy periods
Disadvantages I wish they were cheaper!

My periods became very heavy and erratic with the onset of the menopause,and I had also developed a fybroid which made periods even worse. For many years I used tampons and they were fine, but they just could not cope with the heavy periods. The Always Ultra towel has proved to be the most effective product. I have also recently started using Always Ultra Long Plus at night, and they provide me with an extra feeling of security. Always have a range of towels so I keep a supply of the different types to use at different times of my period. I just wish that sanitary products weren't so expensive ... more

Worth every penny 08/08/2000

User recommends the product

Advantages Comfortable and dont move
Disadvantages We have to pay for them

You know the situation. You are in the middle of your monthly cycle you cant wear a tampon for whatever reason. You feel uncomfortable enough as it is without your sanitary towel moving and going lumpy on you. Then to top it off you are rummaging in your bag for your mascara when the towel leaps out and falls on the floor to your embaressment. Well no more, I have been using Always with Wings for about a year now and they are without question the most comfortable towels on the market. They come in a neat little packet so that if they do try to escape from my bag nobody bats an eyelid, the ... more

One of the best 09/06/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages Does everything you could ask for!
Disadvantages Only that we actually have periods.

When I first started, I used Bodyform invisible, the one with clear wigs, i tried Always and have used it ever since! It comes in a green wrapper with little facts dotted across it, a nice touch really. They are extremely thin, and this size isn't too long, but provides excellent protection, the wings hold the shape of the pad for however long you where it, they are very sticky and stay on very well. The are small enough to hide in a sleeve or something, and could fit in small bags. The topsheet that everyone talks about, really is amazing! i did the test with the water and left it for 45 ... more

Is that a wing I feel stuck to my leg 22/02/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages discreet, easy to use
Disadvantages -

Being that having your monthly period can be a chore the need to make it as comfortable and not such a big issue the better, Always with wings has managed to achieve that. Like most women I have a whole hoard of sanitary products lined up at the ready for when mother nature strikes. You normally know the signs of when she's gonna hit you but you don't know if this month she's going to alternate the flow-pattern so that you know which of your goodies to get ready first. So it's... panty liners for light, off-days and to close, tampons for when you can't bear the 'wedge' and want to go out ... more
