"Always" period pads - toxic as hell
After 15+ years of periods, I moved to a new country and decided to give the "Always" period sanitary pads a chance. I got the sensitive, soft, unscented ones — and hell began.
Within one day of using them, I was super itchy in my vagina. Now bear in mind I had never before in my life had vaginal itchiness. Pubic itchiness, occasionally, yes, even the odd vaginal itch now and then, but not during an entire period, practically every hour, and with a level of intensity that was driving me insane. I'd never had an infection there, nor a virus, I hadn't had sex, no way I had STDs. But it itched horribly and when I peed, the itchy area stung. And so I began worrying.
I read everything I could find on diseases, bacterial infections and viruses affecting the nether-lands, I looked down there with a mirror, tried to feel for blisters, checked the smell, analysed fluids and dryness... and I still couldn't find anything remotely abnormal other than the fact that it itched. At last my period ended and, two-three days later, so did the itchiness. Phew.
And then the next period began, and the next. It took a few tortuous periods filled with horrifying itchiness and burning down there for me to realise that the only thing I was doing differently to pre-stinging days was changing the brand of my period pads. I had bought two boxes of "Always" sensitive, soft skin pads. Two. (Note to self, when trying a new brand, only buy one box). I still had half about twelve pads left to get through.
Desperate, I looked online to see if the brand wasn't good, and here's the hell I found:
I've now stopped using Always pads and my symptoms have immediately improved. I've contacted the supermarket demanding explanations, doubt anything will happen, but still. I've also contacted my doctor to see if this can be reported, because I can't believe that with studies saying Always pads contain irritants and carcinogens, they're still being sold left and right.
Please, please, please, for the love of God DON'T BUY ALWAYS PADS. REPORT THEM. SPEAK TO ANY CONSUMER'S ASSOCIATION YOU'VE GOT IF THERE'S ANY (here there's none useful). Contact your representatives! DON'T LET A BIG COMPANY GET AWAY WITH MAKING WOMEN ILL ON PURPOSE.

Most genius thing I’ve ever read or seen! And it’s all natural so you can throw it away not worry about micro plastics and other things 😭👏👏
Imagine what other products this can be used for ?
Diapers? Maybe even toilet paper!
We need to do that in the states!

Are we serious with this right now!? Look closely.
Always pads are up to 100% leak free. Which means they're not leak free...at all. The up to is in tiny writing that they want you to miss so that you will buy their product.

I just bought my first push up bra! I’ve never bought one because I always feel like I’m lying if I wear one lol. But then I think about what if Yuuji was sitting outside the dressing room waiting for me to show it off, then I don’t feel so bad
Yuuji x Reader. 18+. Smut. All characters are of age. Minors don't interact.
Aaaaah, underwear shopping with Yuuji would be so good! He is so invested! So full of praise and so turned on. You open the door of the dressing room just enough to show him the push-up you tried on, asking if he likes the color, and Yuuji's eyes become so big, his mouth hanging open and almost drooling as he stares unashamedly at your tits.
It takes about five seconds before you get ushered back into the dressing room, this time joined by a very in-love and very horny Yuuji, who moans in your ear, "Fuck, cutie, I am the luckiest guy in the world," while his large hands wander all over your half-naked body, touching, caressing, pushing the panties that match your new bra to the side.
He fucks you right there in the narrow dressing room, in front of the mirror, in which he hungrily watches your tits jiggle in your pretty new push-up bra. So plump, so bouncy, driving him crazy, just like your cute ass usually does. Maybe if Yuuji fucks you fast and deep enough, he can even make them spill out of your new bra💗

Did you know Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner was the brilliant woman behind pads (also referred to as sanitary napkins)? They honored Mary Beatrice Davidson, the brilliant woman who developed the sanitary napkin. Mary's invention was initially rejected because of racial discrimination but 30 years later (in 1956) it was accepted. She received five patents for her household inventions -- one being the bathroom tissue holder, which she co-invented with her sister. Thank you Mary for looking out for the ladies. ❤️💯🌹WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU!

i need ghoap frantically making out against a door finally taking the leap on their feelings. need ghost grinding against soap, expecting to find him just as hard as him, only to feel nothing
and in all his wisdom and experience, he concludes soap was tortured and never told him
he’s trying to think of a delicate way to say he understands, that he’s been through it and it doesn’t change anything about how he feels (and who the fuck touched him so he can hunt them down and rend them limb from limb)
meanwhile trans!soap’s just trying to find the best angle to grind his cunt on ghost’s thigh
just it never even entering ghost’s head bc he’s never known a trans person but he has met plenty of people who’ve been tortured - himself included - so of course that’s his logical leap
soap takes off his shirt and he sees his top surgery scars and ghost asks if he wants him to kill the one who did it and soap just hums like, “actually, man did pretty good, they healed real well,” and ghost’s just teary-eyes with awe at how well he’s coping, “looking on the bright side, that’s my johnny.”
imagine he thinks johnny was fully castrated but sees he’s determined to still have a sex life with him so he buys packers and straps to help him bc hell yeah healing and soap’s just like, “holy shit i’ve never had such a thoughtful partner before, such a sweet man, lt.”
