In 2019 women lamented on Always pads in KE,
Always ppl were busy taking influencers on a trip

In 2020 Always ppl claimed they'd heard & would do better for women, only to come back with the MOST EXPENSIVE pad in their range!

The Audacity Of Disrespect
#MyAlwaysExperience
If you ever doubted that menstruation is a class and race issue reinforced by people who aren't checked then this a great example.

Women already knew and proved that pads in Kenya and the global south are foremost gravely different why...RACE! Black bodies dont deserve quality
Women also knew and proved that quality sanitary products were meant for those with privilege and class, look what Always has done! Creating a new, better quality and completely unaffordable pad.

Even with data that shows that majority of Kenyan mensturators can't afford.
Women spoke about period poverty and that access, quality and affordability are issues, Always people claimed they listened & even made an ad LOL

How then does an expensive pad that the most vulnerable of mensturators can't afford answer issues of access and affordability?
Anyways, Always Kenya keeps doubling down and showing Kenyan women why they dont matter, their health doesn't matter, their menstrual dignity doesn't matter and we hear this loud and clear.
Always Kenya HATE poor menstruators and this expensive pad is evidence. In fact, it's the reason why the other plastic filmed pads are cheap.

Poor menstruators =Plastic film and pacifying ads
Privileged menstruators= Organic Cotton and good vibes

TRASH!!!
