ALWAYS MAXI THICK EXTRA LONG DAY & NIGHT

ALWAYS MAXI THICK EXTRA LONG DAY & NIGHT

PRIMARY USES

1. Extended Overnight Protection for Heavy Menstrual Flow
Primary Use: Provides maximum overnight protection through an extra-long, extra-absorbent pad specifically designed for heavy menstrual flow during sleeping hours, with an extended posterior length and superior leak-guard barriers that keep the user protected while lying down .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and sleep medicine specialist, patients with menorrhagia (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 Always Maxi Thick Extra Long pad is specifically designed for heavy flow days and nights, offering maximum leakage protection for the heaviest menstrual flow. The extra-long design provides extended coverage from front to back, ensuring protection remains effective regardless of sleeping position. The anti-leakage barriers positioned throughout the pad help contain flow in all directions, even when the user is lying flat. For the patient, this means uninterrupted sleep, reduced anxiety about morning stains, and the confidence to wake up feeling secure and protected.

2. Maximum Absorption for Daytime Heavy Flow Management
Primary Use: Delivers thick, super-absorbent protection for daytime heavy flow management, allowing women with menorrhagia or heavy menstrual periods to maintain normal daily activities including work, exercise, and social engagements without fear of leakage .
How it helps: For the primary care physician and gynaecologist, heavy menstrual bleeding is a leading cause of work absenteeism and reduced quality of life among reproductive-age women. The Maxi Thick Extra Long pad features a super-absorbent core specifically designed for heavy flow and nighttime use, with extra absorbency compared to standard Always Maxi products . The longer, wider design provides maximum coverage for day or night use, while the additional absorbent material ensures that heavy flow is quickly locked away from the skin. Anti-leakage barriers at the front, centre, and back work together to provide complete protection regardless of activity level. For the patient managing heavy periods, this means the freedom to attend work, exercise, and participate in daily activities without the constant worry of leakage.

3. Dermatologically Tested for Sensitive Skin During Extended Wear
Primary Use: Features a soft, breathable, cotton-like topsheet that is dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of skin irritation, chafing, and contact dermatitis even during extended wear on heavy flow days and nights .
How it helps: For the dermatologist and gynaecologist, the perineal skin is thin, highly vascular, and prone to moisture-associated damage, especially during menstruation when pads are worn continuously for many hours. The Always Maxi Thick Extra Long pad is dermatologically tested to be gentle on the skin, with a soft, cotton-like feel that helps prevent chafing and irritation . The breathable design allows air circulation, reducing the buildup of heat and moisture that can lead to skin breakdown. For the patient with sensitive skin or a history of pad-related dermatitis, this provides a safer option that minimises irritation risk even during extended wear on heavy flow days and nights.

4. Anti-Leakage Barriers for Complete Protection During Movement and Sleep
Primary Use: Engineered with multiple anti-leakage barriers positioned at the front, centre, and back of the pad, along with flexible side barriers, providing comprehensive protection against leaks during both active daytime movement and stationary nighttime sleep .
How it helps: For the sports medicine physician and physiotherapist, many women with heavy periods reduce or avoid physical activity during menstruation due to fear of pad displacement or side leakage. The Always Maxi Thick Extra Long pad is specially designed with anti-leakage barriers in the front, centre, and back, plus flexible barriers at the sides, offering maximum leakage protection for the heaviest menstrual flow . The long shape provides added security with extended rear coverage, particularly important when lying down or moving between positions during sleep. For the active patient, this means the confidence to continue exercise routines, sports participation, and daily activities without pad-related anxiety.

5. Individually Wrapped for Hygienic Portability in Bags, Purses, and Lockers
Primary Use: Each pad is individually wrapped in a discreet, hygienic wrapper that maintains cleanliness during transport, allows for easy storage in pockets, purses, backpacks, or lockers, and provides a sanitary means of disposal in public or shared facilities .
How it helps: For the adolescent medicine specialist and school health nurse, access to hygienic menstrual products is essential for school attendance and participation in extracurricular activities. The individually wrapped design ensures that pads remain clean and protected until the moment of use, regardless of how long they have been carried in a bag, purse, backpack, or locker. The discreet wrapper allows for private transport without embarrassment or the need for additional packaging. For the patient, this means always having a clean, hygienic pad available when needed, whether at school, work, at the gym, or while travelling.

SECONDARY USES

1. Postpartum lochia management following vaginal delivery: For women in the immediate postpartum period experiencing heavy lochia (vaginal discharge after childbirth), the extra-long design and maximum absorbency provide essential protection for the initial days following delivery, with the soft, dermatologically tested topsheet being 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 for post-procedural bleeding, with the individually wrapped packaging ensuring hygienic storage before use in clinical or home settings.

3. Management of menorrhagia in perimenopausal patients: For perimenopausal women experiencing unpredictable, heavy, and prolonged bleeding episodes as oestrogen levels fluctuate, the Maxi Thick Extra Long pad provides the extended length, maximum absorbency, and all-day/all-night protection needed to manage unpredictable heavy flow, reducing leakage risk and supporting quality of life during this transitional period.

4. Bleeding management in patients on anticoagulant therapy: For patients prescribed anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, heparin, or enoxaparin) who experience significantly heavier menstrual bleeding as a side effect, these pads provide the enhanced absorbency and extended coverage needed to manage increased flow, with anti-leakage features minimising accidents and allowing patients to maintain normal activities.

5. Endometriosis and adenomyosis symptom management: For patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis who experience heavy, prolonged, and often painful menstrual bleeding, the Always Maxi Thick Extra Long pad provides reliable heavy-flow protection day and night, allowing patients to focus on pain management and daily functioning rather than worrying about leakage or frequent pad changes.
