ALWAYS MAXI THICK LONG DUO

ALWAYS MAXI THICK LONG DUO

PRIMARY USES

1. Value Duo Pack for Complete Heavy Flow Cycle Management
Primary Use: Provides a value-paired combination of Always Maxi Thick Long pads in a convenient duo pack format, offering heavy flow protection with the trusted Maxi Thick absorbency in a long length design, suitable for women with moderate to heavy menstrual flow who prefer thick, super-absorbent pads over ultra-thin alternatives .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and primary care physician, patients with heavy menstrual bleeding often require maximum absorbency protection that they can rely on day and night without the need for frequent product changes. The Always Maxi Thick Long Duo pads feature a thick, super-absorbent core specifically designed for heavy flow days, with long length providing extended front-to-back coverage . For the patient, this means having a reliable supply of heavy-duty protection in a cost-effective duo pack, reducing the need for frequent repurchasing and ensuring adequate protection is always available when needed.

2. 3-in-1 Protection for Day and Night Use
Primary Use: Features 3-in-1 action combining rapid absorption, odour neutralisation, and anti-leakage protection, making it suitable for both daytime activities and overnight rest for women with moderate to heavy menstrual flow .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing patient concerns about multiple aspects of period protection, patients often worry about leaks, odour, and comfort simultaneously. The Always Maxi Thick Long Duo 3en1 variant combines three essential actions in one pad: fast absorption to capture flow quickly, odour neutralisation technology to help prevent unwanted smells, and leak protection barriers to prevent accidents . The long format and ultra-absorbent core capture flow quickly and retain it effectively, limiting moisture sensation. For the patient managing heavy periods, this means comprehensive protection that addresses the three main concerns of period management in a single product.

3. Side Leak Protection with Coton Soft Wings
Primary Use: Equipped with anti-leakage barriers on the sides (barrières anti-fuites) and coton soft wings that adapt to body movements, keeping the pad securely in place and preventing side leaks during physical activity, walking, and sleep position changes .
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 daily functional mobility. The Maxi Thick Long Duo pads feature side leak protection barriers that prevent accidents by adapting to body movements, while the soft cotton wings maintain the pad in place while respecting sensitive skin . The Flexi wings and flexi channels keep the pad securely positioned and allow for ease of movement, enabling users to stay active even on heavy flow days . For the active patient, this means the confidence to continue exercise routines, daily activities, and sports participation without pad-related anxiety.

4. Dermatologically Tested for Sensitive Skin
Primary Use: Formulated with soft, breathable materials that have been dermatologically tested, making them suitable for women with sensitive perineal skin or those prone to pad-related irritation .
How it helps: For the dermatologist and gynaecologist, the perineal skin is thin, highly vascular, and susceptible to irritation from friction, trapped moisture, and chemical exposure. The Always Maxi Thick Long Duo pads are designed with soft materials and have undergone dermatological testing to ensure they respect sensitive skin . The 100% breathable top sheet with an innovative soft design provides a cushiony soft feel against the skin . 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.

5. Extra Long Coverage for Overnight Protection
Primary Use: The extra long variant (E/Long) provides extended front-to-back coverage with a thick absorbent core, specifically designed for heavy flow overnight protection and for women who experience leakage at the back of the pad when lying down .
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 Always Maxi Thick Extra Long Duo pads feature an extended length offering more coverage, especially for overnight or heavy flow use, with a thick absorbent core that locks in moisture to keep users dry throughout the day or night . Specially designed leak guard barriers around the edges help prevent leaks, ensuring protection even during active moments or restless sleep . For the patient, this means uninterrupted sleep, reduced anxiety about morning stains, and the confidence to wake up feeling secure and protected.

SECONDARY USES

1. Postpartum lochia management following vaginal delivery: For women in the immediate postpartum period experiencing heavy lochia (vaginal discharge after childbirth), the Maxi Thick Long Duo pads provide the super-absorbent core, long length, and side leak protection needed to manage the initial heavy flow days following delivery. The soft, dermatologically tested topsheet is gentle on perineal sutures, episiotomy sites, or tears, while the extra long variant offers extended coverage for overnight use during the postpartum recovery period .

2. Post-gynaecological procedure bleeding management: For patients recovering from procedures such as endometrial biopsy, cervical biopsy, colposcopy, LEEP, cone biopsy, or dilation and curettage (D&C), these pads provide reliable, high-absorbency protection with the added benefit of side leak barriers and soft, gentle materials that are kind to sensitive post-procedural tissues .

3. Management of menorrhagia in perimenopausal patients: For perimenopausal women experiencing unpredictable, heavy, and prolonged bleeding episodes as oestrogen levels fluctuate, the Maxi Thick Long Duo pads provide the super-absorbent core, long length, and 3-in-1 protection needed to manage unpredictable heavy flow day and night, reducing leakage risk and supporting quality of life during this transitional period .

4. Extended wear for long work shifts and overnight shifts: For women working long or overnight shifts (healthcare professionals, nurses, doctors, flight attendants, factory workers, emergency responders), the long length, thick absorbent core, and up to all-day protection provide reliable coverage for an entire shift without the need for middle-of-shift changes, with the duo pack format ensuring an adequate supply is always available .

5. 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 length needed to manage increased flow, with anti-leakage barriers minimising accidents and allowing patients to maintain normal activities.

6. Endometriosis and adenomyosis symptom management: For patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis who experience heavy, prolonged, and often painful menstrual bleeding, the Always Maxi Thick Long Duo pads provide reliable heavy-flow protection with the trusted thick absorbency of the Maxi range, allowing patients to focus on pain management and daily functioning rather than worrying about leakage or frequent pad changes.
