My Go-To Tampons for Over a Decade: Always Extra Long Pads Deliver the Goods

I've been reviewing sanitary pads for years, from regular to overnight options. While I've found some decent alternatives, I'm still on the hunt for the perfect regular and overnight pads that match the quality of Always Extra Long without breaking the bank.

As someone who's been in the market for reliable and comfortable sanitary pads for years, I've tried numerous brands and products. Always Extra Long has consistently been my go-to choice, and for good reason. Their extra-long pads offer unparalleled protection and comfort, making them a staple in my household.

In Always' lineup of daily sanitary pads, you've got normal, extended, and extra extended:

Thin and Long Daily Sanitary Pads from Always - ReviewIt's worth noting that Always sanitary pads are made in Germany, which explains their high quality. This attention to detail is evident in every aspect of their product, from the absorbency to the comfort.

I hope everyone knows that sanitary products can't be flushed down the toilet - they need to go in the trash.

The production date is printed at the bottom of the package on the side. The shelf life is 2 years, and I'm pretty sure they won't spoil after that, but they might get a bit stiffer. I've had that happen with my kids' diapers - they've grown up, but the diapers are still here. Recently, I pulled one out, and it was hard and prickly, somehow it had absorbed moisture, and the silica gel had sucked it up.

A bit of description from the manufacturer:

The packaging opens easily, and the pads aren't individually wrapped, which is actually a plus. This makes it convenient to use them on-the-go without having to worry about wasting individual wrappers.

Extra Long Pads from Always - Invisible ProtectionI was blown away by how long these extra long pads from Always are - they're seriously impressive.

Extra Long Pads from Always - Invisible ProtectionThe absorbing layer in the middle is great, but it doesn't quite replicate the shape of the pad.

The surface is cottony and soft, and the edges are stitched - it's a really nice touch.

Best Daily PadsI compared these Always pads to cheaper, longer pads, and the difference is clear - Always pads are longer, thinner, and have a clearer shape.

One of the things I love about Always pads is that they never bunch up, never get tangled, and the edges never come apart - they're seriously thin.

I use these pads only in the last few days of my period, when I need to keep my underwear clean. One pack of 18 pads lasts me three months - it's a great value for money.

Gaskets are pricey, but I've found some Korean alternatives for a third of the cost. However, they're a different story altogether, with subpar quality and sizing. The 18-pack costs 321 rubles, which breaks down to 18 rubles per gasket. Compare that to the 4-ruble gaskets I reviewed here.

If I were to change anything in these gaskets, I'd ditch the air pockets altogether, offer black gaskets for dark-colored laundry, and lower the price. But overall, I'm sticking with Olveys gaskets - I couldn't find any similar alternatives. I highly recommend them!
