To be utterly brassed off to open new Aways to find they are SCENTED!

[Oldisthenewblack]

I seem to recall another thread about this not long ago - maybe it's still going, I don't know. Anyway - opened a new pack of Always an hour ago, my only pack, only to find they were SCENTED. There was NOTHING on the pack to indicate this and I am SO pissed off! Due to period pain I'm not up to going out again to buy more and will have to do the old fashioned thing tonight and use cloths. I have ONE unscented one left to see me through tomorrow morning.

I am so annoyed about this. I have a Twitter account that I've never used - am even thinking of utilising that to rant about this. Not sure how to go about it as not sure about Twitter.....

There's no way on earth I'm whacking that next to my fanjo.

Bastards.

The Bodyform 'So Thin' liners are good (in the fluorescent green pack, which ironically looks as if it would stink of fanny freshener but doesn't!).

Unscented, very thin and cottony. Often on offer for £1 for a pack of 30.

bananafish81 or maybe some people are a bit paranoid so use them rather than the companies suggesting natural is disgusting
Maybe you are happy not to use them, others like them.

Kali but there's no choice not to use them. They used to sell scented and non scented. Now they only sell the whiffy ones. I'm delighted for those who like them to buy them. I'm just miffed I can't buy the au natural liners

Why are they paranoid though? It's because they've been told periods smell by the advertising.

Always gives me fire crotch every month but I have to use the night ones for the first 3 days because I have heavy flow. Like a pp said it's at the end of my period as flow tapers off that my fanjo gets so itchy I want to scratch it in public and throw all caution and social decorum to the wind.

banana but that's some people. Like i said i rarely see any scented ones! I never even knew they exsisted till few years ago!

soup Or perhaps some do just think they smell? Maybe they've managed to use their own brain to cone to this conclusion? Not everybody is brainwashed by advertising.
You don't like them, that's fine but don't assume that those who do only do because they've been told too.

Someone up thread mentioned the GIft sanitary pads from Holland and Barratt, so I've bought some for use during my next period. They were a lot more expensive, but it all depends if they work or not. I still haven't ordered any of the cloth pads - but will certainly get to it eventually. Now just figuring out what to do with the scented pads; they deserve to be thrown away but maybe there's someone who can use them who doesn't suffer....
