Stickiest sanitary pads

84 replies

that are unscented.

Help me find the stickiest pads for heavy flows for a larger body please.

I have used lilets maternity pads but some man at lilets decided to change them up and they barely stick to my underwear now. I'm absolutely completely gutted. They are absolute garbage now and I have written to them to complain.

Pls no suggestions on pants, cups etc. I'm asking about single use pads only.

I like Flo Bamboo - they do extra long

I have panic ordered those, arriving tomorrow. I got caught out by the lilets maternity pads no longer working on my heaviest days.

I feel nothing but rage. Nothing on the packaging either that would suggest they have changed. Their form has also changed. Whoever did this MAY YOUR PILLOW BE EXTRA HOT for a whole month.

Apparently the strip you pull off to disclose the sticky wings can be put on the outside of your pants gusset and then restick the wings to it. It’s supposed to hold the pad in place.

What? I'm going to try this.

Have you tried the Always Platinum range? Though as I type it I'm wondering if they are scented. The giant ones are good though

I have actually and they stick well, but the scent is horrible and irritating. I hate that pretty much all always pads have a scent now. I'm totally bewildered by it.

Bodyform are mostly unscented.

Lillets do a nighttime pad in a purple packet which is ultra absorbent it’s really sticky. Once it’s on it doesn’t shift atall.

I tried those whilst the maternity pads were still good and these are nowhere near as sticky. They just don't stay in place for me at all.
