Overview
Always Maxi Long Sanitary Towels with Wings provide reliable, high-absorbency period protection for heavy flow days in a long format pad with wings for added security. The long pad length delivers extended front-to-back coverage, and the wings fold around the underwear gusset to keep the pad firmly in position during movement — preventing the side shifting that is the most common cause of side leakage.
A trusted, dependable heavy flow pad that delivers consistent performance on the days when reliable protection matters most. The 12-pack provides a practical supply for regular heavy flow use. Browse the full range of sanitary towels or explore more Always products at Pearl Chemist Group.
What It Does
- Provides high absorbency for heavy flow days. The Maxi core absorbs menstrual flow quickly and keeps it locked away from the skin surface — maintaining dryness and comfort on the days when flow is heaviest.
- Extended length for greater front-to-back coverage. The long format provides broader coverage than a normal-length pad, reducing the risk of end overflow during everyday movement and activity.
- Wings for secure positioning and side leak protection. The wings fold around the outside of the underwear gusset and anchor the pad in position — preventing the sideways shifting that causes side leakage, particularly during active movement.
How to Apply
- Peel away the adhesive backing strip.
- Position centrally in the underwear gusset, aligned front to back.
- Secure the wings. Fold the wings firmly around the outside of the gusset and press down — properly secured wings are essential for side leak protection and pad stability during movement.
- Change regularly. Every four to eight hours, or more frequently on heavier flow days when the pad becomes saturated sooner.
- Dispose of in a bin after use. Wrap and place in a bin — do not flush.
Who It's For
- Those with heavy menstrual flow who need reliable, high-absorbency protection throughout heavy flow days.
- Those who want wing security for confident, stable protection during movement and everyday activity.
- Those who prefer the dependable performance of the Maxi range — a tried and trusted heavy flow pad for consistent, reliable results.
- Those who want a 12-pack supply for practical everyday use during heavier periods.
Good to Know
- Always secure the wings fully. Wings that are not properly folded and pressed down provide no benefit — secure wings are the most effective way to keep a pad in position and prevent side leakage during movement.
- For the heaviest flow days, the Long Plus provides additional coverage. If the Long is consistently insufficient on the heaviest days, the Always Maxi Long Plus provides a further step up in both absorbency and coverage.
- Do not flush. Always dispose of in a bin.
- Change at least every four to eight hours — more frequently when flow is heaviest.
- Free-from flags and wing details: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing.

FAQs
What is the difference between this and the Always Maxi Long Plus?
The Long Plus provides greater absorbency and extended length compared to the standard Long — it is designed for the very heaviest flow days and overnight use when maximum capacity is the priority. The standard Long with Wings provides reliable heavy flow protection for most heavy flow days and is the more commonly used everyday option within the Maxi range. If the Long is consistently insufficient on the heaviest days, the Long Plus is the appropriate step up.
Why do wings make such a difference to pad performance?
Wings prevent the pad from shifting sideways in the underwear during movement — the most common cause of side leakage. Without wings, a pad can rotate or shift off-centre during activity, leaving areas of the underwear gusset uncovered. Properly secured wings anchor the pad to the underwear from both sides, maintaining correct positioning throughout wear regardless of movement. They are particularly important on heavy flow days when reliable coverage is critical.
Can I use these pads overnight?
The Long format provides extended coverage and can be used overnight on moderate to heavy flow nights. For the heaviest overnight flow, the Always Maxi Long Plus or dedicated overnight products provide additional coverage and capacity for undisturbed sleep. Apply a fresh pad immediately before sleeping and replace in the morning.
How often should I change on a heavy flow day?
On heavy flow days, change every two to four hours or whenever the pad becomes saturated — do not wait until it is completely full. No pad should be left in place for longer than eight hours. Changing regularly supports hygiene, skin comfort, and reliable protection throughout the day.
How do I dispose of used pads?
Wrap in the pad's own backing paper or toilet tissue and place in a bin. Never flush sanitary towels — they are not designed to break down in water and cause serious drain blockages. Most public toilet cubicles provide a sanitary disposal unit for this purpose.
