Former Starehe MP aspirant Boniface Mwangi called on women to record a video of them burning their Always pads.
This was after claims that the pads are of inferior quality compared to the products sold in the West, have no ventilation and lead to discomfort, itching, and rashes.
His tweets were in response to the #MyAlwaysExperince hashtag on Twitter where Always users complained about the product.
Always Responds
The Procter & Gamble-owned company had responded to all the backlash that they have received on social media by saying that the complains ‘broke their hearts’ because they strive to give the best.
They also denied claims that the pads sold in Kenya are sub-par in comparison to their Western counterparts. “The Always Ultra pads we have in Kenya are similar to the Always pads in other parts of the world including Germany, UK, US, South Africa. All our pads including the ones in Kenya are designed and developed in Europe and the US,” they tweeted.
