Always Infinity FlexFoam Pads Regular
At a glance
Summary
Always Infinity FlexFoam Pads Regular scores 38/100. Contains zero cotton — the entire pad is built from synthetic materials. The primary component is polyacrylate foam, a synthetic polymer that sits directly against vulvar skin for hours. Contains titanium dioxide (a suspected carcinogen used purely as a cosmetic whitener), petrolatum (petroleum jelly), and ditallowethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate (a quaternary ammonium chemical softener). Ten ingredients total, all synthetic. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from organic cotton pads — functional leak protection built entirely from petrochemical-derived materials with unnecessary cosmetic additives.
