Fragrance free sanitary pads

[Blahblahblahyadayadayada]

Looking for fragrance free pads (I gather Unscented or Unlerfumed can still contain fragrance).
Some but not all Always ones according to their website have no fragrance but I’m suspicious as the “odour neutraliser” is likely to be fragrance? I have period underwear but I don’t use them for the whole of my period. Some of the more “natural” pads tend to fall apart while in use, though, so I still need something with wings and fairly robust.

Thanks.

I feel your pain. Supermarket/boots etc own brands tend to be unscented ime.

It’s a good a place as any to start. I’ve use always most of my life so it’s a bit annoying. Trying to get past an issue of recurrent thrush so looking at what I can control.

I use Time of The Month. At one point Boots* stocked them but now i buy online. (May not have been Boots, but definitely a shop i regularly used.)

I use reusable pads these days but I’m pretty sure all of the supermarket ‘basic’ pads are fragrance free. Sainsburys certainly are (well, they were 6 months ago anyway).

I only use Natracare. Organic cotton, plastic free, fragrance free. I usually order from Amazon.

Always infinity are brilliant, and no scent.

I really like bodyform. No scent and they seem softer and less "rustly" than others too.

The purple Bodyform (night) towels are unperfumed.

The Extra Special Always - not sure what they're called, Platinum? come in small packets, quite possibly pink (there was a distinct lack of choice one month) are at least not scented as hideously as the ordinary ones. (I used them for a long time too - very disappointed)

Tesco do some (I think they call them Free Spirit) which are ok. Still haven't worked out how I'm intended to use the little sticky tab to wrap them up, but the actual wearing is fine.

Sainsbury’s own brand are unscented, and Tesco ones used to be, but I haven’t used them for a while.

Body form pink

Natracare are my favourite, really comfy too, but they’re on the more expensive side. I have discovered that both Tesco and sainsburys own cheapest ones seem to be fragrance free and are fine on my super sensitive skin though.

I think Always infinity is the “extra special” one, but very expensive. I have been using the Platinum ones as the regular always just don’t seem to stay in place as well, but I suspect they’re not fragrance free. I find similar issues with some of the own brand ones but it might just be a case of trial and error

Natracare are brilliant.

I use Morrison’s own brand. Took me ages to find some that didn’t irritate but these are good for me and as a bonus super cheap.

Always sensitive (pink pack I think) are unscented
I buy bodyform for dd as they are mostly unscented too

I buy bodyform (me and 2 DD’s), always smell horrible 🤢 and since they made them scented they give me thrush. I have started using washable pads when at home and period pants on lighter days.

I use Always sensitive. They're fragrance free. And I have never noticed a rustle, but I only use the lightest flow ones because I have very light periods (minipill)

Always Infinity, they're the premium range. I really rate them, they are £££ so I try and buy them on offer.

TOTM (Time of the Month) currently 50% off first order with SWITCH50

No added fragrance. Can get them in Tesco for regular, super, some towels and panty liners but I need the super plus tampons so order them online.

Anything I buy that is mainstream must have fragrance added even if it says it's not as it gives me terrible thrush. Never a problem with these!

I use natracare too. I have a fragrance allergy. Their sticky stuff is also colophony free (as I checked with them as also allergic to this).

Robust products. Never had any problems with them breaking up etc.

Asda’s own brand, they are very similar to the Always sensitive as they have a cotton top layer and are much more comfortable than the plasticky feel that a lot of pads seem to have.

Great suggestions. Maybe I’ll try a few different ones. Unfortunately I have up to 12 days bleeding so it’s a big expense (supermarket brands are much more reasonably priced). I’m not sure if the modibodi pants for the light days makes the thrush situation worse. On the more normal flow days I use pads as I can’t mess around with changing underwear at work but I can see wearing pads for almost half a month won’t make thrush any better, especially if fragranced. Very annoying.

I use natracare and sainsburys cheap basic ones too.

I’m baffled at why they make scented sanitary products. No one seems to want them. The smell in the aisle makes me want to gag.

Squiz81 my thoughts exactly. There seems to be more and more of them, too, which is bizarre, given the general trend towards less is more (or maybe there isn’t).
I’ve retched at people smelling of BO but never have I ever thought “gosh, that person reeks off menstruation ”.
