Always Infinity Pads Review

Hello Divas!

I am telling you about a great personal care product that I have tried. Have you heard about the new Always Infinity Pads?

These are a great new product from Always and they really do work as promised. I have had heavy periods that have driven me crazy. I recently got the Always Infinity Pads and I must say there is no going back for me.




Always has been the brand for me since they have those long pads.....yes I needed to wear the overnight ones during the day because my periods were so heavy. Sitting was uncomfortable because I never knew when I would spring a leak with other pads.

I still had to change my pads a bit often....like every four hours with the regular Always pads. 

This was not very convenient for me when at work....so when I heard about the Always Infinity pads I decided to try them.

Now I can go for six hours without needing a change. This works for me since I can make one bathroom trip during my lunch to change and be ok for the rest of the day.

Now if only they came with cleaning wipes like the other Always.........

I have used Always pads and pantyliners since I was a teenager. I usually use the Always clean superlong combo, and LOVE it. I saw the commercial for Infinity and thought it would provide extra protection for overnight. So i purchased the large box of overnights at Walgreens for 8.99 (much more than I would normally be willing to pay). This is the worst product I think the company has ever made. I love the feel of it, and the shape of the pad (with the extra width in back, and the wings). I thought it was supposed to be extra absorbent. My flow practically sits on top....and there is no side or back or front edge protection AT ALL! I am very disappointed in this product. I have tried even using it for a couple hours during the lightest days-and must say a panty liner offers better protection. What a mess.

OMG!! I waited until my period came to try these and they are horrible!!! I have a heavy period and have to wear tampons and pads. Since I was at home, I tried the new always alone. YUCK!!!!Yes it hold lots of liquid, but one squish and the liquid comes back to the surface!!! The last thing I need is to be wearing white and fall on my butt or to go horse back ridding and have a huge "RED SPOT" because this pad won't "LOCK" in the fluid like it's supposed to. I know this may sound gross, but when you roll the pad up to discard it in the trash, you can squeeze it and fluid just come dripping out!! GROSS!!!!!! I will never use those. Either the original Always or Kotex will be for me!!!

Ladies I am sorry this is not working out for you. Maybe you can let the makers know and they can refund you.

i hate the always infinity! do not use it. i feel like i need to change more often because it doesnt exactly "wisk away" anything...it all stays on the surface. all ive had was leaks. they are comfortable but if you would like to have an ounce of dignity once the workday is done dont use them.

I too have always used always pads but recently I have started having heavier periods so I tried the over night bads or extra long pads etc and they were okay but I would have to change very very often till I tried the infinity pad I LOVE it didnt need to change as much and it doesnt sit on top I WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO USE THEM I AM PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS

Anonymous said...

I HATE these pads. I was eager to try them because I do have a heavy flow, and have always been fairly satisfied with the other Always products. These are so awful, I had a leak today at work that was so bad I had to leave work to go home and change and then go back. How embarrassing. They are also not comfortable at all and they make noise when you move! Ridicuously expensive also...I will never buy them again and strongly discourage anyone from buying them if you have a heavy flow. The worst pad I have ever tried in my life.

Anonymous said...

The Always panty liners have always been my favorite brand. Any other just did not give the same protection and comfort. BUT yesterday I used the ALWAYS INFINITY liner and it was the worst and most embarrassing experience. My flow was very light so i put on the smallest pad. Half way through my day I went to a training session and as I sat down I thought to myself 'it smells like someone farted'. When the smell followed me home I realized that it was me :(. This sounds really gross I know. But I have had my period for more than twelve years and it has never smelled that bad. Since my flow was so light I figured it must be the material the pad is made out of. And it was. The new pads have this chemical smell to them, that mixed with my body odor I guess turned bad :(. I will try and contact always and tell them about my experience but most importantly never use them again.

These really are extremely horrible pads. it`s like they just took out most of the material and raised the price!!! I was suprised when I first opened these to see that they had LESS material than the ones I usually buy. It`s just a thin layer of cotton with holes in them! These were supposed to absorb from all sides well they don`t cause there`s practically no material in them. I wish I hadn`t switched. I`ve had TONS more leakage with these stupid things than with my regular ones. I saw the commercial and thought I`d have a solution to never experiencing leakage if I couldn`t change pads for a while, but nope. not with these things. DO NOT BUY THEM! worst product ever from always

I like everyone else was so excited about a new product from always. the first thing i noticed was that you can barely tell it's there which for some women may be good but for me is not. second it makes noise when you walk or move. third it smells horrible. i am a clean woman but because the flow isn't locked away it smells like ugh. i was too ashamed to stand near anyone. it holds a lot but rolling it up is like rolling a wet sponge. my teen daughter hates it too. she says the material makes her itch. good idea always but back to the drawing board please.

I usually like the Always products and tried this one as my periods have been getting heavy (I've got some small fibroids). I thought the absorbency was very good, but they make me itch like crazy! Very embarrassing!

Penelope said...

I've been reading several reviews, and I can't believe how different women's experiences have been! My experience has been the exact opposite of what many women have posted here. This pad has been incredible and I will be using it exclusively from now on. Evidently, it doesn't work the same for every woman, but I encourage everyone to give it a try it because it CAN work like advertised and it's amazing!

For one thing, it's extremely comfortable. The texture is cottony, the pad is very thin, and it hugs the panty extremely well. The shape is narrower in front and wider in the back, which works great for me. Always Ultra Thin used to bunch up in the front, creating a "peak" that would rub against my body and cause itching and irritation. This doesn't happen here at all, and I can't even feel I'm wearing a pad.

The absorbency is incredible. The second day of my period is the heaviest, and I was worried throughout the day because I noticed almost no blood on the pad. I wore one pad throughout the day and all I would see was a strip of blood along the center and two spots at either side. The blood was NOT sitting on top. When I finally changed the pad (which still looked like it could hold more blood) I could see through the plastic lining that it was FULL of blood! It seems to soak up blood from the center and distribute it to the rest of the pad beneath the surface. I pressed on the blood-filled areas to see if it would ooze out, but it didn't. It just stained the surface a very light pink. I pressed down hard, and I was sitting down the whole day, so I'm confident that it's never going to cause any accidents. It proved safer than my old pad, which draws blood towards the wings and can stain my pants a bit. Like I said, this is my heaviest day, and there were absolutely no spills.

I've noticed no bad odor (I actually just checked, to see if I had missed it) and I've felt no itching. The pad feels completely dry, which is a huge difference from other Always pads if you live in the tropics. As for the price, I'm wondering if it varies by region. The only reason I tried them out in the first place is because there wasn't a big difference between their price and that of regular Always Ultra Thins. Even if they were a lot more expensive, I'd probably be willing to pay it. They're definitely worth it.

I'm really baffled by the different reactions. The reviews don't reflect subjective preferences; they're entirely different experiences. Maybe it just works optimally on certain body types?

I am on my monthly "gift" now and im usin always infinity. I LOVE THEM! theyr so soft!! the other always originals r so scratchy n weird feelin. infinities r soft, comfortable, affordable, absorbent, and do as they r advertised. this pad makes u want to have ur period (except cramps) all month!! I reccomend it to everyone!!! but if u do get super long or overnite, cuz regulars r way too short!!

I have been using Always for a very long time. Always Infinity SUCKS. Yes it feels nice. But it is not absorbent and it makes you feel very insecure when wearing it.

Anonymous said...

I have used the Infinity pads for nearly a year and I love them! My flow has been heavy of late, but I have never had a problem with the pad not being absorbent enough.

I can see how if an individual's flow was very heavy, the pad might not be substantial enough. But for women like me, who have moderate to heavy flow, it's just right. You don't get the uncomfortable wedgie feeling of a conventional pad, or a cottony chunky diaper feeling, which is exactly why I love this pad so much.

I also agree with a previous poster, the pad redistributes the liquid to the rest of the pad. It is pricier, but I feel that it is worth the price. I am in medical school and have to wear scrubs to class and lab for many hours... and to have something very thin and light that doesn't show under my thin cotton scrubs is great.

Don't know what kind of synthetic material the pad is made of, but I have very sensitive skin (that I can't use any conventional body wash/soap from the drugstore, I have to use an all-natural soap from Whole Foods)and I have never gotten a rash or irritated skin with this pad.

I also love, love Always Infinity. I have never tried anything like it before. I lead a pretty active lifestyle and execrise a lot. Always Infinity is the first pad that doesn't make me sweat down there or feel moist during the days of heavy flow. The pads are incredibly absorbent and designed in a way to prevent the leaks. In addition, they are the most comfortable pads I have ever tried! Highly recommended!

I just got a copper IUD, which causes heavy periods. I had thought my previous pads would be up to the task, but mid-Memorial day, I felt the pad I had fail. Cue a rush to the store, where Always Infinity caught my eye. I really like these pads! The material is unlike anything I've ever experienced, something akin to cloth or foam. I was freaked out by the holes and slits, but the absorbency is really amazing! I have yet to experience any of the backflow other posters mentioned. Everything stays pretty well trapped in the pad. The wings were also very sturdy and didn't shift or bunch as much as I've noticed with others. As for the design, I love it! I always need more protection in the back, and the wide back makes me feel confident while the narrow front means I can wear tighter pants without the corners poking out. I guess this just fits with my body type or something. I would recommend getting a coupon or a free sample, since so many women seem to be split on these. I was lucky that I shelled out the cash for them and was so pleasantly surprised! They'll definitely be my go-to for heavy days.

I love these pads. For those having problems-try wearing them backwards-it is what I do.....I bleed more up front than in the back.

These work great. And I've never had the problem with the squishing and gooshing blood-pressure will bring the blood up-but same with any pad.

These pads are small-I can't feel them compared to the other pads I've had to wear. I think it's great. I have to change these a lot less than I had to my other always pads (every 4 hrs or less. Now I can usually go the entire day without changing but maybe once.

For those with problems-look on the box-there is a guarantee-not happy? Call them send in the upc and the receipt. Money bacj.

Dani said...

It's odd reading how diverse everyone's results were with the Always Infinity pads! I got a sample of the Infinity pads in a bulk package of regular pads a while back, and I tried it the month before the last. Since my second days are the heaviest, I decided to give the Infinity a try. I left it on from around noon to the end of the day, and when I checked it at night, I noticed little to no blood on the surface. Confused, I checked underneath, and BEHOLD! It pulled everything to the bottom! And since it was a heavy day for me, you can imagine how red the bottom was. Everything was stuck in place and there were NO hints of a leak about to spring out. I was so sold on these pads that this week I bought a box of em to use.

So today on my heaviest day, I decided to use one. I put one on in the beginning of the day. Around 2 or 3, I had to use the bathroom and checked the pad. For some odd reason, there was still blood visible on top, like any normal pad I've worn. It didn't seem to pull much into the pad like the last one I tried.

My theory: I'm thinking that the sample pads are better than the ones you buy. I'm going to try it out again and hopefully that won't be the case. I also think that if your blood is thin and runny, it can come back out of the pad. But if your blood is very VERY thick, it might take longer to absorb. Just my thought!

Anonymous said...

How can something this thin be so absorbent? The science behind this pads performance won them a prestigious Edison Award.
While I'm wearing this pad, it's almost as if I'm not wearing anything. It's very comfortable and I've never had any problem with leaks.

I am a teenage girl who has to wear uniform pants like khaki...and my first couple of days of my period i bleed pretty heavy..so you can see how important it is for me to find a good pad that i dont have to change every 3 hours or so..so i seen a commerical for infinity. i got my mom to buy me a box and i love them. they are soft and drain all the blood to the bottom leaving the surface clean.. and having a pad i can wear khaki pants and sit down all day is great. i would for sure tell women to use this pad.. my friends love it and so do i!!!

I am 40 and have had heavy periods since the birth of my first child. I have been trying to find something that holds well since then and have had no luck, I have just been dealing with it and changing often as I could. My daughter just recently got her first period and with school starting soon I REALLY wanted to find her a pad that will work for her during the day. I started researching the internet and found more pros then cons about the infinity so I decided to try them. I bought the green box of always infinity for heavy periods. We live in a very humid state and I usually sweat down below in the summer and it stains the sides of my undies or shorts. I am happy to announce that my clothes had no stains after a day of working in the yard doing storm clean up. The next day, I wore a pad to work and I wore it all day and decided not to change it before going home, (Daring huh..LOL) when I got home at 4:30 I was still dry and decided to mow the yard. I sat on the riding lawn mower for over an hour, bouncing around and really wondering if I'm going to have a puddle when I got up. To my husbands surprise and mine, his lawnmower seat was dry. :) I don't know who was more nervous about me getting off the mower. LOL 6:00 I decided to change. I absolutely could not believe the results of this pad. I did notice a slight smell when changing but I also wore it for 10 hours which I have NEVER done with a pad before.It felt a little heavy with 10 hrs of fluid in it and I could see alot in the back. A little fluid peaked out of the holed when I was rolling it up, but nothing dripped out. When my daughter gets her next period again, I feel very confident for her to use the Always infinity-heavy. I haven't tried the regular, I am just going to stick with the heavy and I know we will be safe no matter where we go or what we do. After 19 years, I am FINALLY having a Happy period. ;)

this pad gave me a horrible vuvlar rash that has been going on for a month!!! i am not the only one who hsd been irritated from this product

These pads completely SUCK!!! I was wearing one on my light-medium days and it was horrible. Every time flow came out I felt as I had stained my pants!!!!! It feels very wet and dirty!!! It's not absorbent at all!!! Plus it is 8.99 for a pack of 32!! You got to be kidding me!! I never felt so deceived with a product before. I just stick to their cheaper and more absorbent pads!!

Anonymous said...

They make my itch like crazy. I thought it was a coincidence this past Summer and dismissed it but I just bought and used them again last week and I am itchy again. I will never buy them again. Not worth the price and personal discomfort at all.
I have been reading the comments here and noticed that I'm not the only one with the itching issue as a result of them so there's obviously a chemical irritant in them that isn't in the regular Always pads.

I've just started my period this month. I really need help on products. Any advice?

Anonymous said...

I've never tried the Infinity but I've always hated the Always brand. They feel like a plastic bag sticking to your wet skin. Not good at all. I use Kotex if I use a disposable pad (I like their cottony feel). Mostly, though, I use reusable cloth pads and a menstrual cup (Diva).

My mom bought the Always brand for me when I first started my period and it was Always miserable. Not a happy period at all!

Tiffany R said...

I LOVE these pads, from my personal experiance they work best for me. They hold in all the fluid so it makes it more comfortable to stay in them all day. They even work GREAT for my heavy flows because all the fluid just locks in at the bottem so I don't even notice I'm bleeding that bad. I do strongly recamend these pads, they are the best ones I've ever used :)

Anonymous said...

I usually love the always brand but the infinity line doesn't work for me. The liquid seems to sit right on top of the pad and squish around inside. The minute I move or sit or change position, I can literally feel the fluid moving around. I had issues with leakage also. I felt like I was wearing a wet sponge. The regular always pads are eons better than the infinity pads.

I stared using this a month ago and im in love with this product, so soft and comfotable, yet the fluid wont stay in, if you squeze the pad it will spill but i love this!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I tried them...all they did was leak and feel wet and gross. NEVER again will I use these pads. it's like what DOES get absorbed just goes all the way through anyway.

Anonymous said...

i don't have that heavy of a flow, and every single always infinity pad i used leaked. even if it was only for a short period of time, it went straight out the side. these pads are awful, don't use them unless you want to ruin almost all of your underwear.

Anonymous said...

The worst pads I have ever used. They don't stick and end up absorbing nothing. I would be better off with double sided tape and plastic wrap.

Anonymous said...

i have been reading the comments and have been surprised at the negative experiences with this pad. i tried them and have switched to these permanently. i will never buy a different pad. for one you don't feel like you are wearing a pad. i like that it has wings and is tapered for a super comfortable fit with no bunching. i also like the texture of these pads, which was the first thing i noticed that was different about this pad versus others. I have not noticed odor and have not had itching. i feel cleaner with this pad because it absorbs nice and doesn't leave much blood on the surface. when i roll the pad up to throw it away i see how much it has in it by examining the bottom of the pad. i have not had any problems with leaking, or dripping during wear or disposal. i also use the nights and find them extremely comfortable. they are more than the knock off pads i have used before but i am willing to pay the extra amount for the comfort. This is not like any other pad on the market that i've ever tried. As inconvenient as periods are, i just want to thank Always for making a smart product that makes it easier to put up with the monthly flow.

i also have a heavy flow the second and third day and it kept it locked in and away from my body nicely.

Anonymous said...

I'm really surprised in the diversity in comments. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pad! i've had my period for....i don't really remember ill be 15 soon so ig 2.5 years? for some reason i was having an unusually heavy period and on the second day i used Always infinity regular with wings(i didn't find ones without wings) and it was amazing!
At first i thought that the heavy first day was because i lost most of my second days blood on the first day, but wen i flipped the pad over i found it! Locked away on the bottom of the pad!
I've been sitting a lot because i didn't feel well so its about equal to how much i would sit in class. hopefully i can use these in school as well. no matter what you hear i think its a good idea to try them. i didn't encounter any leaking or the squishing others mentioned.
I agree with the theory that thinner blood might not work as well with these but i don't think i have thick blood.
If my cramps weren't so bad i might have a semi happy period. ;D

I normally use Always pads and was excited to use the Always Infinity pads...Big Mistake! They gave me a HORRIBLE rash that was quite painful, itchy and even made my skin peel!

Diva In Training said...

Well I am glad they worked for you and I am really surprised by all the people who hate them.

I thought maybe I just got a good batch when I wrote this review...but I am using them again now a while later and I still love them.

Big waste of money. I only wear pads at night but even then it is leaking everywhere. I wouldn't dare ever try one during the day if I didn't feel using a tampon. Stupid commercial hype. I usually hate always pads but I thought these would be different. I hate always even more now, even their crappy old pads are better than these.

Anonymous said...

I can not believe all of the bad reviews this product is getting...... all I Have to say is thank god I bought the product before I read the reviews. Because ladies I truely love Always infinity. Here is why...... I normally have to wear an overnight pad all day long along with a super-plus tampon and I end up changing both of them every 2hrs........ at night I need to double up My pad and wake up half way to change because otherwise I will have a terrible mess. But with infinity I tried them when my period was almost over so it was light..... So I was still unsure if they would be right for me. Well listen...... I have my period right now..... and I am day 3. The first four data are usually my heaviest flow days...... But it doesn't matter. Because these infinity pads are doing exactly what they need to be doing for Me. I Have not had a single leak onto my panties.... this is seriously thee first time since I started getting it.my flow gets absorbed quickly.... I don't get any kind of rubbing. I know I am only one person. But if you knew me AND know the severity of how heavy my flow gets you would understand why I love this product so much..... it truly works....... and it does what it needs to Do......

Without aging myself, I have had a period for almost 15 years now. Through all these years I have never had ANY types of infections down there. Now I have been using these pads for the last 4 months and must admit that I prefer their performance versus all other pads. However, something very gross and disturbing has been happening to me...the smell down there while using this pad is horrible! I NEVER smelt like this before and went through special lengths to see if I had some type of infection. Turns out I did not. One day I opened a new pad and smelt a strong chemical smell from the pad...it smelled alot like what I was smelling mixed with my blood. Wow! I was so stunned to realize that my blood mixed with this material left a horrific odor! So sad too because these pads worked so great for me in protection, but I can not stomach the smell. Also had problems with dryness and some itching from this pad. I am so sad to part from this miracle pad...but hopeful that some of the "kinks" will be worked out in the near future for an improved model.

I LOVE the new infinity pads! I haven't exper ienced any ordor or itching! I haven't had any leakage. These pads are wonderful!

I tried a package of the infinity pads a few months back and was very disappointed. I found, as others did, a lack of absorbency. I have noticed that my local drug store appeared to only carry a limited amount of the infinity products and although I love Always, this product just didn't feel fresh to me.

cold country Canada here!

Angela said...

Today was my first day using this product. In the past I have used the Always for overnight even during the day because my periods are usually very heavy. My first thoughts were positive. The infinity is very comfortable and almost feels as if I am not wearing a pad at all. However, the one thing I do not like about the pad at all is that even after a two hours, there is a smell that is very nauseating. I will finish using this box that I purchased with the use of a coupon but I will not purchase them in the future. I would much rather wear the less comfortable regular Always than to have to worry that the odor I smell when changing the pad is something others smell sitting next to me. Good thing it is now the weekend and I don't have plans to go anywhere!

I can't comprehend how incredibly diverse everyone's opinions are. That opposite is the first thing I noticed when I first tried this pad out. Talk about truly amazing technology and design - The point of contact from which blood gathers is what shows at the surface of the pad; all the blood somehow gathers beneath the pristine whiteness of the pad's top layer.

The Infinity pads feel 200% more comfortable than the Ultra Thin pads. They have a plush but velvety texture that's both firm but extremely gentle to the touch. It feels literally like a smooth cloth pad underneath you. The Ultra Thin pads, which I just tried out of comparison and because it's $2 cheaper, has a reason behind its lower cost; it feels like an old rag. It might "lock in" moisture better, but honestly, it makes you want to just switch to tampons for good, because it feels rough, rigid, porous, and un-smooth. Even the look of it, when it's caught all the bloody material, is hard to stomach!

Thanks to the genius people that designed the Infinity, I've never had experiences with leakage overnight. This pad absorbs an unknown amount of blood; I went to bed wearing these on my heaviest night (first night), and 7-8 hours later, I woke up to a pad that had managed to soak in all that blood and yet look more presentable than any of those Ultra Thins on a light day. Pay a little extra for a pad that feels amazing to the touch, makes you feel clean/comfortable/happy, and is great for absorbency.

This pad changed my LIFE. I will never go back to anything else.

I recently had a baby, which means forced to wear pads for the next few weeks. I LOVE these pads!! I refuse to wear pads any other time because i feel disgusting sitting in them for any period of time. I still change them extremely often, but they are so comfortable compared to the thick pads I would be forced to wear. I totally recommend them for pad users!!

Love these! I always hated normal pads! My vag cant breathe, they're thick and they bunch up..
Infinities are amazing!!! The liquid all sets to the bottom, leaving the top mostly dry, they breathe so nicely and are so thin! Amazing!

Ok, these infinity pads definitely smell funny....I noticed it first thing. It is a chemical smell. I assume it is whatever they use to make them. That is my only issue with the pads....I just wish they didn't smell bad. I won't be buying again because of this. I will be going back to the regular always I have used for years.

I got my period about a year ago. I went to the store to buy my first box of pads and Always Infinity caught my eye. They were absolutely horrible! It felt like I was leaking the entire day, and the blood just sat on top of the material! I LOVE the Always Ultra Thins, and use those all the time! Not your best work Always :(

I tried these pads a long time ago and have loved them ever since. I hate pads in general because they are bulky and feel like I am wearing a diaper. I don't like the fact that you can see them through clothes either. I only got them to wear at night because of the risk of wearing tampons for so many hours. Thanks to these pads I now wear them during the day. They are soft, absorbant, and to my surprise very comfortable. I don't have to worry about them showing under my clothes either because they are so thin. I have to admit the design freaked me out when I first saw it but now I don't think any other pad will do the job as well! No blood sits on top even though the surface looks smooth and you can clearly see (through the bottom) that it soaked up everything. Even on my heavy days I feel safer. I can go with just a pad instead of a pad and tampon. I have never itched because of them or had any odor. These things are great and they don't cost too much more than the regular pads. I am definitely a repeat user and will continue to be.

I can't believe that after 33 years of having my period, someone finally got it right!! This is the best pad I've ever used and will be exclusively what I use from now on. I'm confused by the negative comments I've read, because I have not experienced anything negative yet, and I've been using them the past 4 or 5 months. These are the most absorbent pads I've ever used, and I don't have "spillage" at all. They are so thin you don't even notice them, and unlike the comments about them creating odor, I think the opposite is true. They seem to trap that yucky blood smell and keep me feeling fresher than ever. These new pads are a miracle!

I'm 13 && I bought the 18 pack of these about a month ago - I haven't used them yet but me and my friend did an absorbency test on them. They absorbed a bit, but squished up like nobodys buisness! I'm honestly afraid to use them because of the horrible reviews ; but I will test them at home so if I do leak it wont be obvious!

this product has a core made of chemicals and non biodegradable materials which will have a significant impact on the environment. Other products are better to the environment since their core is mainly paper.

I am very surprised about all the different reviews on here. I am a woman that has very heavy flow the first two days, then the next two is light. I hated using pads because they always felt like diapers, so I started using tampons, well now the tampons make me feel uncomfortable when I put it in or take it out... I saw this new always product and I thought I would check it out. I personally like pads without wings, so I for the ones that have no wings and I actually really like the material. It's like a nice soft spongy material that's super thin, and once you put it on it doesn't bulk up like the pads I used to wear. The back part is also wider, which is a plus because sometimes the fluid moves back, so you don't wanna get the blood on your panties or anything. I read the reviews about the product mixed with the fluid smells, I haven't had any issue with the smell... Personally I really like this product and if I continue to like it, I'm gonna completely ditch the tampons and stick with these pads .... The only thing I don't like is the price, they're more than the average pad costs, but I'm happy with it, so I will stick to them!

I bought this product in hopes that it would hold the blood and feel like nothing is there. Well, it does feel like nothing is there, but its terrible at absorption.
I do not know if its because I have hips, but for some ungodly reason, its the only pad from ALWAYS that pushes my blood to the sides where the WINGS are. and my panties always have blood stains on the sides.and I too seem to be able to smell something, its terrible....
when ever I sleep, walk, or just sitting down working, I realize when I do a panty check, the blood is on my pads sides leaving blood stains on the sides of my panties, and I literally change them 4 times a day. THAT TERRIBLE... all of "always" other products, my favorite being orange colour size, I only change twice a day, or simply, once a day.

I think it all depends on your flow your underwear an body type. I have a vvvvveerrryyy heavy flow with mostly clots. When i wear my period panties its great but if i wear boyshorts or anything else they bunch up... I am verrryy sensitive down there but i have had no rash or no odor. Idk. Everyone is different! I like them tho and i am an avid tampon person soo this is amazing for me

I love always pantyliners in the purple boxes. I strongly dislike their pads!!! I will continue to use stayfree ultra thin with wings!
