Hmmm, this is a bit disturbing…

A TikTokker named Kris posted a video and showed folks why she became incredibly concerned when she held a brand new Always sanitary pad up to a light to examine it.

In the video, Kris held the pad up to a light and there appeared to be all kinds of spots inside of it.

She said, “Always pad. It is brand new.”

When Kris took the pad out of the light, she couldn’t see anything on it.

In the video’s caption, she wrote, “Please be aware of this. @Always why does a brand new just out of the bag pad have mold on it?”

And Kris isn’t the only person complaining about Always pads.

Check out what another TikTokker had to say about what she found.

After probably 26 years of using @always, I found this in my pad this evening. At first glance, I just thought it was a dyed piece of the pad. Nope. A live maggot, sewn in the pad, that I JUST opened, from a package of pads I bought maybe 2-3 weeks ago. WTF. Ladies, check your shit before you put it in your undies. I don’t even want to think about what could have happened if I didn’t see it. #alwayspad #maggot #ewwww
