ALWAYS ULTRA THIN LONG DUO

The pack contains Size 2 Long Super pads (26-40 count depending on variant) for heavy daytime flow and Size 4 Overnight pads (18-34 count) for extended nighttime protection. Both feature the 3x Protection System: RapidDRY technology absorbs gushes 2-3x faster than leading store brands; LeakGUARD core locks in leaks for long-lasting protection; and OdorLOCK helps prevent unwanted odours to keep users feeling fresh. Features include ultra-thin, flexible design for comfort; Flexi-Wings for secure positioning; long length for extended coverage; and up to 8 hours of reliable protection. The pack is made with 50% recycled plastic. Suitable for heavy flow days, overnight protection, postpartum, and post-gynaecological procedures. Warning: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags away from babies and children. Do not dispose of pads in toilet bowls—use a waste container.
ALWAYS ULTRA THIN LONG DUO
PRIMARY USES
1. Dual Protection for Varying Flow Across the Menstrual Cycle
Primary Use: Provides a value-paired combination of Size 2 Long Super pads for heavy flow days and Size 4 Overnight pads for extended nighttime protection, offering a complete cycle solution for women whose flow intensity varies significantly between days and requires different absorbency levels.
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and primary care physician, patients with unpredictable or varying flow patterns often end up purchasing multiple products to manage their cycle, increasing cost and confusion. The Always Ultra Duo pack contains 26-40 Size 2 Long Super pads for heavy daytime flow and 18-34 Size 4 Overnight pads for extended nighttime protection. This dual-pack format provides a complete cycle solution. For the patient, this means having the right level of protection for both heavy days and overnight needs in a single economical purchase, reducing the need to stock multiple products and switch between brands.
2. Enhanced Daytime Heavy Flow Management with Size 2 Long Super
Primary Use: The Size 2 Long Super pads feature the 3x Protection System (RapidDRY, LeakGUARD, and OdorLOCK) designed to manage heavy daytime flow, with long length for extended front-to-back coverage and Flexi-Wings for secure positioning during physical activity.
How it helps: For the sports medicine physician and physiotherapist, heavy menstrual bleeding is a common reason women reduce or avoid physical activity during their period, impacting fitness routines and athletic performance. The Size 2 Long Super pads absorb gushes 2-3x faster than leading store brand pads, with RapidDRY technology that absorbs in seconds. The LeakGUARD core locks in leaks for long-lasting protection, while OdorLOCK helps prevent unwanted odours to keep users feeling fresh and clean. Flexi-Wings secure the pad in place during movement. For the active patient, this means the confidence to continue exercise routines, sports participation, and daily activities without pad-related anxiety.
3. Extended Nighttime Protection with Size 4 Overnight Pads
Primary Use: The Size 4 Overnight pads feature extra length (wider back design) specifically engineered for overnight use, providing extended coverage to protect against rear leakage when lying down, with up to 8 hours of reliable protection.
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and sleep medicine specialist, patients with heavy menstrual bleeding often experience significant sleep disruption due to anxiety about overnight leakage and the need for middle-of-the-night pad changes. The Size 4 Overnight pads are specifically designed for heavier flow or when users want overnight protection, with extra length providing enhanced security and coverage. These pads feature a wider back for superior protection during sleep, with flexible wings that hold the pad in place through all sleeping positions. For the patient, this means uninterrupted sleep, reduced anxiety about morning stains, and the confidence to wake up feeling secure and protected.
4. Rapid Absorption for Gush Protection During Stand-Up and Movement
Primary Use: Features RapidDRY technology that absorbs gushes 2-3x faster than leading store brand pads, specifically addressing the common concern of “stand-up gushes” when moving from sitting to standing during heavy flow days.
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing a common patient complaint, sudden gushes upon standing are a frequent source of anxiety and embarrassment for women with heavy periods. The Always Ultra Thin with Flexi-Wings allows users to say goodbye to stand-up gush fears, with RapidDRY technology absorbing gushes 2-3x faster than the leading store brand. This technology gives users that cleaner, drier, fresher pad feeling throughout the day. For the patient, this means freedom from the anxiety of sudden gushes when standing up at work, during meetings, or in social situations, allowing normal daily activities without interruption.
5. Ultra-Thin Design with Maximum Absorbency for Comfortable Daily Wear
Primary Use: Combines ultra-thin, flexible design with maximum absorbency, providing comfortable, discreet protection that remains undetectable under clothing while delivering heavy flow protection equivalent to much thicker pads.
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing patient concerns about pad bulk and visibility, many women avoid adequate protection for heavy flow days because traditional thick pads are uncomfortable and visible under tight clothing. The Always Ultra Thin Duo pads offer an ultra-thin, flexible design that provides comfortable daytime protection without the bulky feel. Despite their thin profile, they still work as a regular pad would. The soft surface layer is gentle on the skin. For the patient, this means heavy flow protection that remains comfortable, discreet, and undetectable under clothing throughout the workday, evening activities, and social engagements.
SECONDARY USES
1. Postpartum lochia management (initial heavy days): For women in the immediate postpartum period experiencing heavy lochia (vaginal discharge after childbirth), the Size 2 Long Super pads provide heavy absorbency with long coverage, while the soft surface layer is gentle on perineal sutures, episiotomy sites, or tears.
2. Post-gynaecological procedure bleeding management: For patients recovering from procedures such as endometrial biopsy, cervical biopsy, colposcopy, LEEP, or dilation and curettage (D&C), these pads provide reliable, high-absorbency protection with the added benefit of overnight-size pads for post-procedural rest.
3. Management of menorrhagia in perimenopausal patients: For perimenopausal women experiencing unpredictable, heavy, and prolonged bleeding episodes, the duo pack provides both heavy daytime protection (Size 2) and overnight protection (Size 4) in one purchase, supporting quality of life during this transitional period.
4. Extended wear for long work shifts and travel: For women working long shifts (healthcare professionals, flight attendants, factory workers) or travelling for extended periods without easy access to changing facilities, the up to 8-hour protection provides reliable coverage for an entire shift or long-haul flight.
5. FSA/HSA eligible product for medical expense accounts: Always Ultra Pads for women are FSA/HSA eligible, allowing patients to use pre-tax medical expense accounts for purchase, providing financial benefit for those managing heavy menstrual bleeding as a medical condition.

5. STORAGE & HANDLING ATTRIBUTES
-
Storage: Keep in original packaging in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
-
Shelf Life: Indefinite when stored in dry conditions (no expiration date typically printed on menstrual pads when stored properly).
-
Inspection: Discard individual pads if wrapper is torn or pad appears discoloured, damp, or shows signs of mould before use.
-
Handling: Wash hands before and after changing pad to prevent introduction of bacteria to the perineal area.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
-
Plastic bag suffocation hazard: The plastic wrapping and individual pad wrappers can cause suffocation if placed over the mouth or nose. Keep away from babies, young children, and individuals with cognitive impairments who may not understand the risk.
-
Do not flush: Pads are not designed to disintegrate in water. Flushing can cause severe plumbing blockages and environmental damage. Always dispose of used pads in a waste container.
-
Change frequency: Prolonged wear of a single pad (more than 8 hours) may increase risk of bacterial overgrowth, odour, and skin irritation. Change every 4-8 hours depending on flow, and always change before going to sleep and upon waking.
-
For external use only: Do not insert into the body. Use only for intended purpose.
-
Allergic contact dermatitis: Although dermatologically tested, any product can cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. Discontinue use if persistent itching, burning, redness, or rash develops. Consider switching to an alternative product or consulting a healthcare professional.
-
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) warning: While TSS is more commonly associated with tampon use, any vaginal or menstrual product carries a theoretical risk. Patients using pads for postpartum or surgical bleeding should be advised to seek medical attention if they develop sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, sunburn-like rash, dizziness, or feeling faint.
-
Keep out of reach of children: Store pads in a location where young children cannot access them to prevent play or accidental ingestion of packaging or pad materials.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
-
Skin rash or irritation (mild): Discontinue use of the product. Gently cleanse the area with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Pat dry thoroughly. If rash persists for more than 48 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
-
Allergic reaction (severe - hives, swelling of lips/tongue/throat, difficulty breathing): This is extremely rare with menstrual pads. Discontinue use immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if swelling or breathing difficulty occurs.
-
Eye contact (pad materials): If pad materials accidentally contact the eye, rinse immediately with plenty of lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. Seek ophthalmologic advice if irritation persists.
-
Ingestion of pad materials: If a child swallows a small piece of pad material, do not induce vomiting. Offer a drink of water. Seek medical advice if choking, gagging, difficulty breathing, or abdominal pain occurs.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
-
Flammability: The cellulose, polyethylene, polypropylene, and other synthetic components are combustible. Pads will burn if exposed to open flame.
-
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂). No special restrictions apply.
-
Fire Response: For small fires involving pads, use appropriate extinguisher. For larger fires, evacuate area. Burning materials may release smoke and fumes. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
