Foremost, the key problems with the pads from #MyAlwaysExperience were the burning, irritation, itching and even vaginal infections that were associated with the plastic top layer. what we call the PE film
The PE film is what traps in moisture and heat in warm climes like where we are in Kenya causing the horrendous outcomes that women had already stated.

Remember that existence of PE film was initially denied when women complained and P&G told us that their pads are the same everywherešŸ¤£During the meeting, they admitted that the new "improved" pads still had PE film but in a finer softer form.
For shame!

Well. I just watched this. My thoughts.
These guys have clearly taken advantage of the time they spent away from socials to think about just how terribly they handled this following #MyAlwaysExperience.
I like that the beginning is an acknowledgement of the fact that people complained....and there was none of the ā€œwhat are you complaining aboutā€ that we are so accustomed to.

So last week, Always invited me to a consumer roundtable to ostensibly have an open and honest conversation about my experience with the brand.
THREAD.
Let me first say that I was not happy AT ALL with how Always handled #MyAlwaysExperience. Responding to legitimate complaints with an influencer campaign without first addressing their consumers was a mistake.
I suffer from endometriosis. My period is hectic enough without having to deal with a pad that isnā€™t comfortable. Sadly, I didnā€™t have other options as other brands were not equipped do deal with my flow. So I stopped using Always Ultra and stuck to the Always Maxi.

In the UK Always ignores women when we beg them to sell unscented pads that don't stink of pot pourri bc we don't want a perfumed vag.

In Africa they ignore women begging them to sell pads that don't cause them *actual physical harm*

Ashamed I didn't know about this till now
Always selling substandard products to African women:

"Outrage over ā€˜mediocreā€™ Always pads in Kenya causing rashes, burns"

"Kenyans from the diaspora chimed in saying the products sold abroad are different quality from those sold back at home."

Kenyan women called for a boycott of Always, accusing P&G of supplying the African market with substandard products.

"They complained of itching, rashes, boils and burns. Some had tales of embarrassing leaksā€
