Always are the pads I use most of all - I use some from different brands. I think Always are my preferance, because I feel comfortable with the fit and feel of them, pretty much. There's nothing particular I can say I don't like about Always that I have found better in other sanitary towels, because I have found that I have trouble with all pads from any brand because I have very heavy periods. I do have one main disadvantage, though, and that is the wing shape (I always use the ones with wings). It seems to be a very unconvenient shape that doesn't really fit very well around the sides, being sort of wavy shaped and long, though I must say they tend to hold ...  Read the complete review

Like a lot of girls, my mother bought my first few packets of sanitary pads when I first started having periods at age twelve. The brand she chose for me was one of the first thin pads on the market, Vespre Silhouettes (anybody remember those great adverts starring Claire Raynor?). I thought they were brilliant because they were so thin and I thought they were the best on the market. When we reached 13 my best friend told me she never used anything other than Always Ultra. She said they were better than Vespre. I didn’t believe her, and being the competitive type, so decided to have a little competition to see which one of us was 'right'! ...  Read the complete review

I remember way back to primary school and the first year at secondary getting all embarrassed with my friends talking about the dreaded period. At the time we were given booklets and samples, most of which were from Always; at the time this stuff was like a foreign language (I had no clue). When I reached the tender age of twelve and the 'dreaded' arrived I used the samples and went from there, as I was illiterate in period technology my mam just bought me packets of sanitary towels as and when I needed them. I remember most of the pads then were large in size and very bulky but as I was at school I needed the pre wrapped hygienically wrapped sort. I tried ...  Read the complete review

' What a lovely product this is too review! Which one of us girls doesn't hate that time of the month? its a pain in the bottom. We all want something that is going to keep us comfortable all day long, no horrible feelings down there, just normal. Well this is where I introduce Always Ultra Normal. -------------- THE PRICE --------------- After running out of pads half way through my period, the OH had to go and run out and picked up these for me for 98p in Wilkinson's, usually around £1.98 in most stores, not bad for 16 pads. ---------------------- THE ...  Read the complete review

Have a happy period Always! I often wonder who thought this slogan up, obviously it was someone who has never had a period. After all lets face it periods are not "happy". They usually go with pain, PMS, cramps and general misery. But its something all women have to put up with. So anything to make them slightly easier is welcome. I did hesitate weather or not to review a sanitary product, but then I thought what the heck, we are all women of the world (apologies to any men reading) and these days most adults understand what periods are. Gone are the days when men (sorry again men) thought a woman's time of the month was something to do ...  Read the complete review
