Overview
Always Maxi Long Plus Sanitary Towels provide maximum protection for the heaviest flow days — combining extended length with the highest absorbency in the Maxi range for comprehensive, reliable protection when it is needed most. The Long Plus format extends further front to back than a standard long pad, offering broader coverage and greater confidence during the heaviest days of the menstrual cycle or for overnight use.
The Maxi range is built around trusted, reliable period protection — a substantial pad that absorbs quickly, keeps skin dry, and provides the coverage needed for heavy flow without compromise. A dependable choice for managing the most demanding days of the menstrual cycle with confidence. Browse the full range of sanitary towels or explore more Always products at Pearl Chemist Group.
What It Does
- Provides maximum absorbency for the heaviest flow days. The Long Plus absorbency level is the highest in the Maxi range — designed for days when flow is at its most substantial and reliable protection is the overriding priority.
- Extended length for maximum front-to-back coverage. The Long Plus format is longer than the standard Long pad, providing the broadest coverage in the Maxi range — reducing the risk of overflow during movement, activity, or extended periods without changing.
- Absorbs quickly and maintains skin dryness. The Maxi core absorbs fluid rapidly and draws it away from the skin surface, supporting comfort and reducing irritation throughout wear on heavy flow days.
How to Apply
- Peel away the adhesive backing strip.
- Position centrally in the underwear gusset, ensuring the full pad length is correctly placed front to back for maximum coverage.
- Press firmly to secure the adhesive.
- Secure wings if present. Fold wings around the underwear gusset and press to hold the pad in position.
- Change regularly. On heavy flow days, change every two to four hours or when saturated. Do not leave in place longer than eight hours.
- Dispose of in a bin after use. Wrap and place in a bin — do not flush.
Who It's For
- Those with very heavy menstrual flow who need the highest absorbency and broadest coverage available in a pad format.
- Those who find standard long pads insufficient on the heaviest days — the Long Plus provides both more absorbency and more coverage than the standard Long.
- Overnight use on heavy flow nights — the Long Plus format provides the extended coverage needed for undisturbed sleep during the heaviest nights of the cycle.
- Those who want a dependable, trusted pad for the most demanding days without the need for more technical or specialist products.
Good to Know
- Long Plus provides greater coverage and absorbency than the standard Long. If the standard Always Maxi Long is consistently insufficient on the heaviest days, the Long Plus is the appropriate step up within the Maxi range.
- Suitable for overnight use on heavy flow nights. The extended length provides the broader coverage needed for different sleeping positions.
- Do not flush. Always dispose of in a bin.
- Change regularly. Even maximum absorbency pads should be changed at least every four to eight hours — more frequently on very heavy flow days.
- Wing availability and free-from flags: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing.

FAQs
What is the difference between the Long Plus and the standard Long pad?
The Long Plus provides both greater absorbency and greater front-to-back coverage than the standard Always Maxi Long. It is the highest protection option in the Maxi range — designed specifically for the heaviest flow days and for overnight use when extended coverage and maximum absorbency are the priority. If the standard Long is consistently saturated before you are ready to change, the Long Plus is the appropriate next step.
Can I use this pad overnight?
Yes — the Long Plus format is well suited to overnight use on heavy flow nights. The extended length provides front-to-back coverage for movement during sleep, and the maximum absorbency handles a higher overnight flow volume than shorter or lower-absorbency pads. Apply a fresh pad immediately before sleeping and replace with a fresh pad or appropriate daytime protection on waking.
How does the Always Maxi compare to the Always Infinity?
Both ranges provide heavy flow period protection, but the Infinity uses infinicel technology to deliver maximum absorbency in a thinner, more flexible format. The Maxi provides reliable traditional pad performance with a more substantial core and thickness. The Infinity is the better choice for those who prioritise thinness and flexibility alongside high absorbency; the Maxi is the dependable choice for those who prefer a fuller, more traditional pad.
How often should I change on a very heavy flow day?
On very heavy flow days, change when the pad becomes saturated or uncomfortable — which may be every two to three hours on the most substantial flow days. Do not wait for the pad to be completely saturated before changing. No pad should be worn for longer than eight hours regardless of flow level.
Are these pads suitable for sensitive skin?
Always Maxi pads are widely used across all skin types. Check whether this specific product is fragrance-free on the packaging if you have sensitive skin — fragrance is the most common cause of pad-related skin irritation. Please verify and confirm the fragrance status from the packaging before publishing this listing.
How do I dispose of used pads?
Wrap in the backing paper from a fresh pad or in toilet tissue and place in a bin. Never flush sanitary towels — they cause serious drain blockages. Most public toilet cubicles provide a sanitary disposal unit for discreet disposal away from home.
