Overview
Always Maxi Night Sanitary Towels are designed specifically for overnight period protection — providing the extended length, high absorbency, and broader coverage needed for confident, comfortable sleep during heavier flow nights. Night-time period protection has specific requirements that daytime pads are not optimised for — longer periods of wear without changing, a range of sleeping positions, and the inability to monitor or respond to flow during sleep all mean that a dedicated overnight pad delivers significantly better results than a daytime product used overnight.
The Maxi Night format addresses all of these needs directly — providing reliable, extended protection throughout a full night's sleep. A dependable overnight essential for those who experience heavier flow at night or who want the confidence of a pad specifically designed for overnight wear.

What It Does
- Provides overnight period protection with extended coverage. The night-specific format is longer than a standard daytime pad, providing broader front-to-back coverage to account for movement and different sleeping positions throughout the night.
- High absorbency for the full duration of sleep. The Maxi core absorbs menstrual flow quickly and maintains capacity across the extended wear period of a full night — without requiring mid-night changes.
- Keeps skin dry throughout overnight wear. Rapid absorption draws fluid away from the skin surface and locks it into the core, maintaining skin dryness and reducing the risk of irritation from prolonged pad contact during sleep.
How to Apply
- Peel away the adhesive backing strip.
- Position centrally in the underwear gusset, aligned front to back. Correct positioning is particularly important for overnight use — ensure the full pad length is placed to provide coverage in all sleeping positions.
- Secure wings if present. Fold wings firmly around the outside of the gusset to keep the pad stable throughout the night.
- Apply a fresh pad immediately before sleeping. Starting the night with a fresh pad maximises the available protection capacity for the full duration of sleep.
- Replace in the morning. Remove and replace with a fresh daytime pad or appropriate protection on waking.
- Dispose of in a bin after use. Wrap and place in a bin — do not flush.
Who It's For
- Those who experience heavy menstrual flow at night and want a pad specifically designed for overnight wear rather than a daytime pad used as an overnight substitute.
- Those who want to sleep without concern about leakage — the night-specific format provides the coverage and capacity for confident, undisturbed sleep.
- Those who move during sleep — the extended length provides coverage in a wider range of sleeping positions than a standard daytime pad.
- Those who want a reliable, trusted overnight pad without the need for a more technical or specialist product.
Good to Know
- Apply immediately before sleeping for maximum overnight capacity. A pad applied earlier in the evening will have less remaining capacity by the time you sleep — always apply a fresh pad right before going to bed.
- The night format is longer than a standard daytime pad. The extended length is intentional — it provides broader coverage for the different body positions used during sleep, which a standard daytime pad does not account for.
- Do not flush. Always dispose of in a bin.
- Replace in the morning. Overnight pads should always be replaced with fresh daytime protection on waking — do not continue wearing an overnight pad into the daytime.
- Wing availability, free-from flags, and absorbency details: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing.

FAQs
Why use a night-specific pad rather than a daytime pad overnight?
Night pads are specifically designed for the demands of overnight use — they are longer to provide coverage in different sleeping positions, have higher absorbency capacity for the extended wear period without changing, and are shaped to provide protection across the full duration of sleep. Daytime pads are designed for shorter wear periods with regular changing opportunities and are not optimised for the coverage pattern or wear duration of overnight use. A dedicated night pad provides significantly more reliable overnight protection than any daytime pad used as a substitute.
How long can I wear this pad overnight?
Apply immediately before sleeping and replace in the morning — typically eight hours of overnight wear. No pad should be worn for longer than eight hours total, and overnight pads should always be replaced with fresh daytime protection on waking regardless of how full they appear. Never use an overnight pad into the daytime.
What if I experience leakage even with an overnight pad?
If leakage occurs despite using a dedicated overnight pad, consider whether the pad is correctly positioned — it should be centred fully front to back with wings properly secured. If positioning is correct and leakage persists, a longer or higher-absorbency overnight option may be needed. Wearing dark or period-specific underwear and using a mattress protector are practical additional measures. If very heavy overnight flow is a persistent concern, it is worth discussing with your GP — heavy menstrual flow can sometimes be managed medically.
Can I use this pad on heavy flow daytime use?
Night pads are designed for overnight wear and are longer and shaped differently from daytime pads — they may feel uncomfortable or bulky for daytime use. For heavy daytime flow, the Always Maxi Long or Maxi Long Plus provides reliable heavy flow protection in a format designed for daytime wear.
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 — fragrance-free is the better choice for those with skin sensitivities. Please verify the fragrance status from the packaging before publishing this listing.
How do I dispose of used night pads?
Wrap in toilet tissue or the backing paper from a fresh pad and place in a bin. Never flush sanitary towels — they are not designed to break down in water and will cause serious blockages in the drainage system. Most public toilet cubicles provide a sanitary disposal unit for this purpose.
