Really close to running out of my stash of Always silk collection unscented pads.

Seems it's now discontinued and everything is scented! WTF has everyone else started using now, instead? :(

I'm lucky to have a pretty light flow, but still need a proper pad rather than a panty liner. Struggling to find anything for normal flow, without wings, unscented.

I really don't want to make the same mistake - I bought a scented pack (it was marked unscented... but odor neutralising... very misleading... I don't trust any of these pads marked "odor neutralising" now...) and had to throw it out straight away, the smell was sick. I know that sounds dramatic, but the smell was... something else. Confused

I just use whatever own brand stuff the shop I'm in has, never noticed if they were scented tbh. You could always try a moon cup?

SparkleTwinkleGoldGlitter · 18/03/2017 17:21

I get bodyform in Sainsbury's which are unscented as I don't like tampons and hate even the thought of a mooncup.

fourpawswhite · 18/03/2017 17:21

I switched to tesco. Range of pads, with or without wings, all non scented.

TigerBreadAddict · 18/03/2017 17:22

Mooncup and pads from Aldi

BumWad · 18/03/2017 17:22

Bodyform unscented pads

Mermaid36 · 18/03/2017 17:22

I moved to washable pads. I love them. Can't work out why I didn't use them before!

Littledrummergirl · 18/03/2017 17:22

Bodyform. They still had a choice of scented or not last time I bought some. Choose wisely.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 18/03/2017 17:22

Menstrual cup and reusable pads.

Menstrual cup. Game changer

MissMooMoo · 18/03/2017 17:26

Pregnancy atm lol!
Anything natural/organic.
Natracare are good. I hate the plasticy feeling that most brands have.

AndKnowItsSeven · 18/03/2017 17:26

Bodyform from Poundland or Kotex.

dementedpixie · 18/03/2017 17:26

Bodyform, kotex (normally found in places like home bargains, poundstretcher, etc), own brands

witwootoodleoo · 18/03/2017 17:26

Instead softcup. It's ace. Wish I'd known about them years ago.

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 18/03/2017 17:27

Mooncup and washables.
I love Charlie Banana washables.

Sparklingbrook · 18/03/2017 17:27

Tampons/any brand of unscented towels. Never in a million years a mooncup or similar.

Oh and my Diary Doll pants. Grin

Craftylittlething · 18/03/2017 17:28

I've a moon cup and hate when I can't find it, that and cheap tesco pant liners

hollinhurst84 · 18/03/2017 17:31

Bodyform or lillets pads. Wilkinsons are Unscented too as are most of the supermarket own brand. Always silk also not scented

Watto1 · 18/03/2017 17:31

Mooncup and Sainsburys Basics towels.

clarrylove · 18/03/2017 17:33

Another menstrual cup fan. Give it a try, you won't look back.

luckylucky24 · 18/03/2017 17:34

Mooncup. I have too light a flow for tampons and could not find any unscented pads. I hate the faff of anything but a mooncup now.

Leopardpink · 18/03/2017 17:36

Bodyform or Sainsburys own brand
