Looking for fragrance-free menstrual pads that are labeled as such

October 14, 2021 10:51 PM

I accidentally bought a package of menstrual pads with a fragrance that is irritating my allergies. Can someone recommend pads that are fragrance free and say so on the package so I don't have to spend 20 minutes at the store reading labels and trying to avoid making the same mistake twice? I'm in Seattle and would be shopping at Walgreens, Bartell's, or Rite Aid. Thanks.

Always Infinity with Flexfoam say "unscented" at the bottom center of the box, in the size/flow box.

Natracare or Seventh Generation brands are the only pads I can use because of my fragrance allergies but I only find them at Whole Foods.

Best answer: L. pads - these are my favorites, free of chlorine bleaching, dyes, and fragrances. I get them from Target but also looks like they’re available at Walgreens.

My partner is healing after delivering a child, and the L. brand pads are great both for efficacy and for not containing anything that further irritates the tears as they heal.

These unscented Kotex pads are "made without fragrance" but for some reason this info is now hidden in smaller print on a side panel. (Source is a package I bought a few weeks ago.)
