Thank you for sharing this with us, Gloria! We want to assure you that our products go through strict quality checks, allowing you leak-free moments to conquer the day. Always Discreet Extra Heavy Long pads are great for long trips or overnight use, as they have a unique absorbent core with two RapidDry layers to form boosted protection in the center of the pad, holding five times the average leak, giving you that extra protection where you need it most. For side protection, the LeakGuards help keep wetness away from the edges and prevent run-offs at the sides where unexpected leaks tend to happen. We are sorry to hear this was not the case with your pack. What you have described is not something we would expect and is never the experience we want or expect our Always Discreet users to have. When you have a chance, please give us a call to share more at (855) 206-8286, 9 am-6 pm EST, Monday-Friday.
