Maxi Pads

Breakdown

8 ingredients to avoid

Always Maxi Pads scores 10/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Always Maxi Pads lists 11 ingredients, starting with Cellulose, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Hot Melt Adhesive and Polyester. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 Always Maxi Pads scores worse than most feminine care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in feminine care is Siempre Intimate Wash Emulsion Sensitive at 29/100.
