Your daughter has a lot to cope and come to terms with when she gets her first period. And having to worry about leakages or bulky bottoms should be the least of her concerns.

Solution? Always Ultra Thin pads. They are super absorbent, thanks to the absorbent gel material (AGM), and come with flexible wings to provide all-around protection, preparing her for an entire day at school.

Moreover, if your daughter is into athletics and has to be on the field for long hours, don't let her period get in the way. Choose Always Ultra Thin pads which prevent stains for up to 8 hours to give your daughter the confidence that she needs on the field, making them the perfect pad for teenagers.

Always Ultra Thin is the perfect option for most young girls. If you are in doubt, go with this the first time.

The initial three days of periods are often characterized by a heavy flow, and your daughter will mostly have no idea about it as she starts menstruating. An Always Maxi Thick pad is suitable for those heavy flow days, giving your daughter up to 100% comfortable protection.

A clean and dry top sheet, comfortable flexi pillow, and unique anti-leakage barriers make this a great choice for active young ladies.These features make Maxi thick is a great soft pad for period management!

Note - One major difference between Maxi Thick and Ultra Thin is that the latter has AGM. This absorption technique differs from what is employed in Maxi Thick; however, both the pads are ideal for heavy periods.

When she gets her period for the first time, the newness of life's 'monthly miracle' is bound to keep her up at night. But let that be the only reason she stays up and only for her first period. Don't let any worry about leakages or discomfort disturb her precious sleep.

ALWAYS has a special type of sanitary pad crafted just for nights, the Night Dreamzzz pads. These night pads are built to provide all-around protection coupled with high absorbent layers that ensure your daughter remain undisturbed all night.

During her initial periods, your daughter's skin will experience soaking wetness and frequent dampness, something that she may not be used to. For this reason, you may require pads for sensitive skin that provide protection as well as superior comfort and softness. Get her the ALWAYS gentle Cotton Soft pads for some added comfort. The cotton-like softness on the top layer will provide her with the comfiest feel and protect her skin from dampness for long hours. These soft pads provide period protection and comfort like no other with its cushiony softness.

If your daughter has sensitive skin or does not like the constant damp feeling that's common during periods, get her the Cotton Soft pads.
