FAQs

What is the difference between the Secure Night Extra and the standard Secure Night?
+

The Secure Night Extra is a step up from the standard Secure Night — providing greater absorbency capacity and extended length for the heaviest overnight flow nights. Where the Secure Night addresses most moderate to heavy overnight flow reliably, the Extra is specifically designed for those for whom the standard Secure Night is consistently insufficient across a full night's sleep. The Extra provides the most comprehensive overnight protection available in the Always Ultra range.

When should I use the Secure Night Extra rather than the Secure Night?
+

Use the Secure Night Extra on the nights when the standard Secure Night is consistently saturated before morning, or when you wake to find leakage despite a correctly applied standard Secure Night. The Extra provides greater capacity and coverage for the heaviest flow nights — reserve it for the most demanding nights of the cycle rather than using it every night if the standard Secure Night is adequate on lighter overnight flow nights.

Is this pad suitable for someone with very heavy periods?
+

Yes — the Secure Night Extra is designed specifically for the very heaviest flow nights. If you regularly experience very heavy overnight flow that saturates most overnight pads before morning, this product provides the highest level of protection available in the ultra-thin overnight pad format. If you also experience very heavy daytime flow, it is worth speaking to your GP — very heavy periods can sometimes be effectively managed medically, and professional assessment is the appropriate next step alongside using appropriate protection products.

How do I ensure the best overnight performance from this pad?
+

Apply immediately before sleeping with the full length centred precisely front to back in the underwear gusset. Fold both wings completely around the outside of the gusset and press each wing firmly flat — run a finger along the full length of each wing to ensure complete adhesive contact. Wear close-fitting underwear over the pad. Avoid applying the pad earlier in the evening and then going to sleep hours later — fresh application at bedtime is essential for maximum overnight capacity.

What should I do if even the Secure Night Extra is insufficient?
+

If the Secure Night Extra is consistently saturated before morning, the Always Maxi Night provides a traditional deep-core overnight alternative with conventional maximum absorbency. Additionally, if very heavy overnight flow is a persistent pattern in your cycle, speaking to your GP is strongly recommended — heavy menstrual flow can often be improved with appropriate medical management, and you should not feel it is simply something to manage around indefinitely.

How do I dispose of used pads?
+

Peel back the wings, fold the pad inward, wrap in toilet tissue or the backing paper from a fresh pad, and place in a bin. Never flush sanitary pads — they cause serious drain blockages and are not designed to break down in water.
