Which brand of sanitary towels don’t cause the burning pain of a thousand suns?

[CaptainBrickbeard]

I switched to washable pads when all brands started impregnating their pads with scent, causing immediate itchy agony whenever I used them. Now I have to go away for a weekend when I will be on my period with no access to laundry facilities. I have neither the time to order nor inclination to use a menstrual cup. As a one-off I will use disposables but which ones are scent-free nowadays?? I used to find that it wasn’t always labelled on the pack as it had become so ubiquitous and I really don’t want to end up inadvertently stuck with the pain (or the horrible synthetic floral smell, come to that!). Can anyone recommend a scent-free brand?

Coop own brand aren't scented, but they do feel a bit stiff and almost plasticy.

Kotex or Boots/Superdrug own brand. But Kotex is sometimes hard to find, it's all bloody scented Always bollocks

Natracare.

Sainsbury’s own brand. A bit thick and plasticy but do the job without stinking of cheap air freshener.

Lillets have started doing pads and i really like them.

Pretty sure not scented.

Most women dislike the scent I'm not sure how or why it became a thing, they were fine before!

Natracare fan here! I used their big pads after my c section and they felt lovely and weren’t horrible and smelly.

Lots of bodyform isn't scented. Kotex is normally found in discount chemists

Boots own brand

I have neither the time to order nor inclination to use a menstrual cup

Shame. They are the fucking shizz.

When I have to use a pad I use Always Infinity, but they do give me the burn by the end of the day.

I thought I want a 'mooncup person' until I tried one. Massive revelation.

Natracare are great, not scented or plasticky. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

The bodyform ones in the pink packet aren't scented... but you have to be careful not to buy the ones that say 'deo-fresh'.

The ones that say 'new fresh feeling' are fine, it's just the ones with the wee flowery 'deo-fresh' to avoid.

Bodyform are unscented.

I’ve just discovered bodyform sensitive - no scent and no plasticky feeling. They’ve been great.

I recommend the bodyform in the pink packet. More cotton like feel than a lot of others

I've started buying maternity pads because I haven't foud any that are scented yet. You can get slim or thin versions so not an inch thick! Boots are good

Kotex aren't scented. Poundland, Superdrug, Home Bargains and Savers sell them, Also some pharmacies and newsagents.

I've changed to bodyform just this month after 20 odd years of using Always - they're unscented and great so far. I also use washable pads but in this heat I couldn't face it.

Menstrual cup. My recommendation is the Meluna. Available on Amazon Prime.

Always infinity are unscented

Bodyform are good as long as you avoid ones labelled 'Deofresh'

There’s a few eco disposable brands but I find them a- flimsy and b- still pretty itchy. Might work for you though

Natracare and ‘hey girls’ are two I can think of

natracare
it's really weird, they are really thin but can hold as much as other pads.

I came on to say Tesco own brand but reading back sounds like any own brand is a good bet.

Another fan of Natracare. I have only seen them in Waitrose. In an emergency I used the budget Sainsbury's towels and they weren't scented or plasticky.
