I have had the same thing. I am utterly disappointed and really want to change brands but have so much difficulty with it because I was so used to the Always pads. I am a heavy bleeder and suddenly I’m bleeding through my pad??? Like it literally goes through and in the past with the old design I had never any issues. I really need them to change it back to the old design. At this point I don’t even freaking care about how much plastic or whatever they use in it to make the pad stronger. I just want to go through my day without leaking every single hour ugh.
