Sanitary pad brand Always has denied claims on social media that it sells a lower-quality product in Kenya.
We reported earlier that this has become a trending topic on Twitter in the country but Always insists in a statement that tweeters are not comparing like-for-like.
“We find that comparisons on look, feel are being made with our Always Maxi Thick in Kenya vs our Always Soft in another country,” the company said in a statement.
They leave your skin sore and prone to infections! I believe it’s not just a Kenyan problem, it’s in Uganda too. They’re fairly priced but at the end of the day, you have to buy oil and powder for those who can afford it. #MyAlwaysExperience

Women in Kenya have been expressing their outrage over the Always brand of sanitary pads, which they say causes rashes, burns and discomfort.
Many women are speaking out on Twitter through the hashtag #MyAlwaysExperience, which trended all of yesterday and part of today.
@Always I am very disappointed in this product. All along I have been thinking the problem was with my waxing place. Your brand has been negatively impacting other business while you gain! #MyAlwaysExperience
