Advantages: Thin, and comfortable

Disadvantages: Price but we have to buy something!

When I was a young girl at primary school probably the year before I started secondary school, we got the sex education chat, then the girls were taken into another room with a teacher and we were given some sanitary products and booklets.

I didn't have a clue what was going on, trust me not to listen when it was actually something important. Back then I was innocent (not that I am anymore) but kids these days seem to be growing up quicker but anyway it took a while to click what the hell these things were the teachers had just given us.

I remember someone calling them socks! Socks? urmm am I missing something, the boys were all asking, what have you got? urmm socks! Right ok!

Anyway when the day did come for me to transform from a girl to a lady at the age of 13 (many years after receiving these weird looking socks) It was a shock and my mum gave me one of her giant pads that were so big and bulky I could barely walk, If I was wearing tight trousers people would have wondered what I had down there.

That was a sad day for me, not only had I started my period with no warning I now had to stick what felt like a pillow down my knickers to absorb the flow..So this is what being a woman is all about? How depressing!

I think soon after that something must have changed; maybe my mum gathered I couldn't walk comfortably with this giant sanitary towel inbewteen my legs and got me some Always.

I remember the relief when first trying these; they are so, so thin, especially compared to the giant thing I had to wear before. They all come individually wrapped in a green plastic wrapper.

I tend to go for the one with wings, as they stay put and don't ride up or down and also offer a little more protection.

To use them you just pull the sticker strip off the back and place as required, I won't go into such details but I am sure you can figure it out.

They are extremely absorbent and take a lot of the fluid away. They are also very comfortable for a woman that has to move around a lot like myself.

Always have a wide range of sanitary wear depending on your flow as everyone is different, so the thinner the pad the less the flow and vice versa.

Another great idea with these is once you are ready to dispose the product you can wrap it in the wrapper it came in so it is a little more hygienic.

I have tried the Purple Packaged Always Ultra with Wings; this is currently my favourite one as I feel it gives me the most protection within the first couple of days as it is longer and slightly thicker.

I also have tried the Always Ultra Normal with wings which is just slightly smaller than the purple; I use this one the most between the two.

They also so night towels and liners but I have not needed to try these as yet.

Always are not cheap, especially if you need to buy 2 packets a month, so it's worth checking out the special offers in Boots and the supermarkets.

They normally cost £1.50ish for a pack of 16!

Summary: Cant find another product as good as these!
