Description

ALWAYS SOFT MAXI THICK LONG (ROXANNE LITE)

PRIMARY USES

1. Maximum Absorbency with Soft, Cushiony Comfort for Heavy Flow
Primary Use: Provides maximum absorbency with a thick, super-absorbent core and soft, cushiony topsheet specifically designed for women with moderate to heavy menstrual flow who prioritise both protection and comfort, featuring long length for extended front-to-back coverage .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and primary care physician, patients with heavy menstrual bleeding often experience discomfort from thick pads that feel bulky and harsh against sensitive skin. The Always Soft Maxi Thick Long (Roxanne Lite) features an innovative soft design with a cushiony feel that respects sensitive skin while delivering maximum absorbency . The long length provides extended coverage for heavy flow days, offering security and confidence throughout daily activities . For the patient managing heavy periods, this means maximum protection with exceptional comfort, reducing both leakage anxiety and skin irritation.
2. Roxanne Lite Technology for Gentle, Breathable Protection
Primary Use: Features Roxanne Lite technology incorporating a 100% breathable top sheet that allows air circulation while maintaining absorbency, reducing moisture buildup and skin irritation during extended wear on heavy flow days .
How it helps: For the dermatologist and gynaecologist, perineal skin is thin, highly vascular, and susceptible to moisture-associated damage, especially during menstruation when pads are worn continuously for many hours. The Roxanne Lite formulation includes a 100% breathable top sheet that allows fresh air to reach the skin, reducing the warm, humid environment where irritation thrives . The soft, cushiony material is specifically designed to be gentle on sensitive skin while the thick core locks away moisture . For the patient with sensitive skin, this provides a safer option that minimises irritation risk even during extended wear on heavy flow days.
3. Long Length for Extended Daytime and Overnight Coverage
Primary Use: The long length variant provides extended front-to-back coverage specifically designed for heavy flow management both day and night, offering additional security for women who experience leakage at the front or back during normal activities or when lying down .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing patient concerns about leakage during work, daily activities, and sleep, the long length provides extended coverage that protects against both forward and backward leakage whether sitting, standing, moving, or lying down . The thick, super-absorbent core rapidly captures and locks in menstrual flow, while the extended length ensures protection remains effective even during position changes . For the patient, this means confidence to go about normal daily routines and sleep patterns without constant worry about pad positioning or leakage.
4. Anti-Leakage Barriers with Flexible Wings for Secure Positioning
Primary Use: Equipped with anti-leakage barriers on the sides and flexible wings that wrap around the underside of underwear, securing the pad in place during walking, sitting, standing, and sleep to prevent bunching, shifting, and side leakage .
How it helps: For the physiotherapist and primary care physician, many women reduce physical activity during menstruation due to fear of pad displacement. The Always Soft Maxi Thick Long pads feature anti-leakage barriers that prevent accidents by adapting to body movements, while the flexible wings maintain the pad in place while respecting sensitive skin . The flexi channels allow for ease of movement, enabling users to stay active even on heavy flow days . For the active patient, this means the freedom to continue daily activities, exercise routines, and sports participation without pad-related anxiety.
5. Dermatologically Tested for Sensitive Skin with Breathable Design
Primary Use: Formulated with soft, breathable, 100% breathable top sheet that has been dermatologically tested, making them suitable for women with sensitive perineal skin or those prone to pad-related irritation during extended wear on heavy flow days .
How it helps: For the dermatologist addressing patient concerns about pad-related dermatitis, the Always Soft Maxi Thick Long pads are designed with soft materials and have undergone dermatological testing to ensure they respect sensitive skin . The innovative soft design provides a cushiony feel against the skin while allowing air circulation to reduce moisture buildup . For the patient with a history of pad-related irritation, this provides a safer, more comfortable option that minimises the risk of allergic contact dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis.

SECONDARY USES

1. Postpartum lochia management following vaginal delivery or caesarean section: For women in the immediate postpartum period experiencing heavy lochia, the Always Soft Maxi Thick Long pads provide the super-absorbent core, long length, and soft, cushiony comfort needed for the initial heavy flow days, with the breathable top sheet being gentle on perineal sutures, episiotomy sites, tears, or C-section incisions .
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, maximum-absorbency protection with 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, the Always Soft Maxi Thick Long pads provide the maximum absorbency, long length, and soft comfort needed to manage unpredictable heavy flow, reducing leakage risk and supporting quality of life during this transitional period.
4. Extended wear for long work shifts, overnight shifts, and travel: For women working long or overnight shifts (healthcare professionals, nurses, flight attendants) or travelling without easy access to changing facilities, the long length, thick absorbent core, and soft, breathable design provide reliable coverage for an entire shift or journey without compromising comfort.
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 maximum absorbency and long coverage needed to manage increased flow, with soft, breathable materials minimising skin irritation during extended wear.
