ALWAYS ULTRA THIN HERBAL FRESHNESS
PRIMARY USES
1. Triple-Action Protection for Heavy Flow Days
Primary Use: Provides 3in1 protection against leaks, odour, and wetness through a unique combination of Ultra Gel Technology, herbal freshness infusion, and anti-leakage barriers, making it suitable for women with heavy menstrual flow who desire all-day freshness without the bulk of traditional thick pads .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist and primary care physician, heavy menstrual bleeding often leads patients to use thick, uncomfortable pads that cause chafing and self-consciousness. The Always Ultra Thin Herbal pad delivers down to ZERO leaks, no matter how heavy the flow or how intense the movement throughout the day, with Ultra Gel Technology that absorbs liquid instantly and locks it into a gel core. This same technology also locks odour inside the core to keep users fresh all day long, even in hot weather or during busy schedules. For the patient, this means heavy flow protection without the bulky feel of traditional pads, allowing normal activity participation without leakage or odour anxiety.
2. Ultra-Thin Design for Comfort and Discretion
Primary Use: Features an ultra-thin, flexible design that maintains high absorbency while remaining discreet and comfortable under clothing, making it ideal for women who prefer thin pads but require heavy flow protection .
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 Herbal pad offers an ultra-thin fit that facilitates daily activities without compromising on protection . The flexible design moves with the body, while the dry topsheet keeps skin moisture-free for up to 8 hours . For the patient, this means heavy flow protection that remains comfortable, discreet, and undetectable under clothing throughout the workday or social activities.
3. Anti-Leakage Barriers for Secure Protection During Movement
Primary Use: Engineered with anti-leakage barriers for maximum coverage and flexible wings that secure the pad in place, providing ultimate protection even during intense physical activity, exercise, or overnight use .
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 Always Ultra Thin Herbal pad features anti-leakage barriers that provide maximum coverage, with flexible wings that wrap around underwear to secure the pad in place regardless of movement intensity . The extra-absorbent gel-based core instantly locks in menstrual flow, providing secure protection for up to 8 hours . For the active patient, this means the confidence to continue exercise routines, sports participation, and daily activities without pad-related anxiety.
4. Herbal Freshness for Odour Control and Sensorial Comfort
Primary Use: Infused with herbal freshness technology that provides a pleasant, delicate scent while helping to neutralise odour, offering an additional layer of freshness confidence for women concerned about menstrual odour .
How it helps: For the gynaecologist addressing patient concerns about menstrual odour, which can cause significant social anxiety and self-consciousness, scented pads provide an additional confidence layer. The Always Ultra Thin Herbal pad offers a delightful scent for all-day freshness, with herbal oils that lock not just wetness but also odour . The pad features 500 air-fresh pores that allow air to pass through while absorbing wetness, maintaining breathability even during extended wear . For the patient, this means feeling fresh and confident throughout the day without worrying about odour, even during heavy flow or in hot weather.
5. Individually Wrapped for Hygienic Portability
Primary Use: Each pad is individually wrapped in a discreet, hygienic wrapper that maintains cleanliness during transport, allows for easy storage in purses, pockets, or bags, and provides a sanitary means of disposal .
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 or pocket . The discreet wrapper allows for private transport without embarrassment, and the wrapper can be used for hygienic disposal of the used pad . 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. Extended wear protection for long work shifts and travel: For women working long shifts (healthcare professionals, flight attendants, retail workers) or travelling for extended periods without easy access to changing facilities, the 8-hour protection and odour-control features provide reliable coverage for an entire workday or long-haul flight.
2. Overnight protection for heavy flow: The extra-long variant provides extended front-to-back coverage suitable for overnight use, with the ultra-thin design remaining comfortable even during sleep, allowing women with heavy nighttime flow to rest without leakage anxiety.
3. Postpartum lochia management: For women in the postpartum period experiencing lochia, the heavy absorbency, ultra-thin comfort, and odour-control features provide appropriate protection while remaining gentle on perineal sutures or episiotomy sites.
4. Post-gynaecological procedure bleeding management: For patients recovering from procedures such as endometrial biopsy, cervical biopsy, colposcopy, or dilation and curettage (D&C), these pads provide reliable, high-absorbency protection with the added benefit of odour control for post-procedural bleeding.
5. Management of heavy bleeding in perimenopause: For perimenopausal women experiencing unpredictable, heavy bleeding episodes, the combination of heavy absorbency, ultra-thin comfort, and odour control provides reliable protection while remaining discreet and comfortable under clothing.

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 4-6 hours depending on flow .
-
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.
-
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 unscented, hypoallergenic variant.
-
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.
-
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals concern (2026 study): A 2026 study from the University of the Free State (South Africa) detected endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) including phthalates, bisphenols, and parabens in Always Ultra Thin pads and other brands . While regulatory investigations are ongoing, patients concerned about EDC exposure may consider fragrance-free, organic, or certified chemical-free alternatives.
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.
