Always pads are trending and it's bad

Описание: In this video we dive deep into the rising wave of complaints and controversies surrounding Always pads. What started as isolated stories has turned into a global conversation under hashtags like #MyAlwaysExperience, where users share troubling reactions: burning, rashes, severe irritation.

🔍 What we cover:

The origin of the #MyAlwaysExperience movement in Kenya and how the discussion spread globally.

Reports of discomfort: vulvar itching, burning sensations, rashes. A clinical case-series from Montreal found 26 of 28 women experienced irritation while using Always pads — symptoms improved when they switched.

Testing by non-profit groups finding toxic or poorly disclosed chemicals in certain Always pad lines — including carcinogens and reproductive toxicants.

Allegations of lower-quality materials being used in developing markets (e.g., Kenya) versus those sold in the US/Europe, and the implications this has for consumer trust and equality.

Brand response: What Procter & Gamble has said (and hasn’t said) in response to the outcry.

What this means for menstrual health, product transparency, and consumer rights.

Tips for viewers: how to identify if you might be experiencing negative reactions, alternatives to consider, and how to make informed choices.


👉 Why this matters:
Periods are already surrounded by stigma in many places. When a product meant for basic hygiene becomes the subject of complaints and suspicion, it gives rise to more than just consumer frustration — it raises questions about health equity, corporate responsibility, and the right to safe menstrual products everywhere.
