  The always pads claims to be 100% leak free or ZERO LEAKS but in reality they leak.
  It is false advertising.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Always. We’re sorry to hear about this experience.
  
  While you did not mention which specific Always product you’ve used, we’d be happy to share information on both our Always and Always Discreet products.
  
  For Always:
  
  We understand that every woman’s period is unique, so we developed a wide range of products designed to fit different body types, period flows and preferences. If you find that you are experiencing leaks, or that you need to change your pad/underwear often, you should try a larger, more absorbent version for better protection.
  
  Always offers a wide range of products designed to fit different body types, period flows and preferences. We include a Product Selector on most of our packs so you can see the graduation in pad/underwear size.
  
  Here are a few general guidelines to help you decide which pad/underwear is best for you:
  Slender is our smallest pad for those with a light to moderate flow
  Regular version is our pad for those with a light to moderate flow but need a slightly longer pad than slender
  Long version is our medium-sized pad for those who need more panty coverage and have a moderate flow
  Heavy or Extra Heavy version is our best daytime protection for those who need more panty coverage and have a heavy flow
  Extra Heavy Overnight/Always Zzz version - our best overnight protection specially designed with more coverage in the back of the pad/underwear to help protect you while you sleep
  Our highest-performing pads for ultimate period protection is Always Infinity
  We offer an entire line of products to help meet a range of needs, from those small little leaks up to heavier urine loss.
  
  
  For Always Discreet:
  
  For leaks in our Always Discreet pads, we recommend moving up one drop size. For example, if you use a 5-drop, try out a 6-drop pad, which provides higher absorbency. Our most absorbent pad is 7 drops and is easily found at online retailers. If 7 drops don’t provide sufficient protection we also offer Always Discreet Pants for more security and absorbency.
  
  In order to assist with compensation, please let us know the exact product name, size, and count.
  
  Again, we are sorry for your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

  Problem:
  This is a continuation of my complaint with procter and gamble regarding always pads. I have tried all their product including the biggest pad they have. The always ultra thin #4 and the always maxi extra heavy overnight #5. Both promising 100% leak free protection. These are false advertising. Even with frequent change they still leak thus they are not guaranteed 100% leak free.
  
  
  Desired Resolution:
  Contact by the business

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau
  (BBB) and Always. We’re sorry to hear about this experience.

  We appreciate
  your reply with additional details about your experience. What you’ve described
  is not what we’d expect as we have very strict quality standards.

  As mentioned, we offer a variety of products and sizes for the
  different needs of our consumers. Since you’ve mentioned the versions you’ve
  tried, I would recommend one of these versions of Always. Heavy or Extra Heavy
  version is our best daytime protection for those who need more panty coverage
  and have a heavy flow, Extra Heavy Overnight/Always Zzz
  version - our best overnight protection specially designed with more coverage
  in the back of the pad/underwear to help protect you while you sleep.

  Our highest-performing pads for ultimate period protection is
  Always Infinity. I hope you’ll give Infinity a try.

  I’ve
  made a report of your experience and am following up via postal mail. Please
  look forward to my letter in 3 weeks or less.

  Again, we are sorry for your experience and appreciate the
  opportunity to address your concerns.

  I bought Secret deodorant 2/19/25. Received chemical burn to armpits. went to doctor to get medical care. Spent more money than I needed to on this product. Sent in a letter, 4/2/25 with all documentation attached. Played the P&G game, where they only would contact me via regular mail. would not call, email or anything. They would respond 6-8 weeks later indicating they needed more info. to which I would send. we did this 3-4 times. I encountered additional expenses to exceed $1000. I requested a reimbursement pf $5715.61. I was sent a $12 gift card to reimburse me for the deodorant. Finally received a letter 6/26/25 indicating they would reimburse me $105.59. Medical care and supplies alone for me cost $210.64!. I declined and requested $2500. received another letter 8/20/25 indicating they were closing their file. nothing was solved, how can it be closed!?

  that offer was declined, our team closed the case.  

  While we cannot offer anything more than the $105.59

  I purchased a Braun silk expert pro 5 laser hair removal system, and I opened everything today to use it and it has the wrong type of plug-in. It isnot one for the United States. I called Braun about the problem and they were not willing to send me the appropriate plug. That is ridiculous for an item this expensive.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 09/16/2025

  Thanks for reaching out to Braun and BBB.
  
  We're sorry that your recent purchase of Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 Laser Hair Removal System came with a
  non-US adapter. We see where you contacted us vis Chat on Friday Sept 12the at
  10:10 am. At that time our advisor attempted to gather information about where the purchase
  was made to help troubleshoot the issue with the plug. However, it seems you didn’t
  recall where the purchase was made and were not able to provide proof of
  purchase. Typically, to help we require a copy of the receipt. As if it was
  purchased from a third-party seller, they would be responsible for any compensation.
  The chat ended prior to the advisor fully explaining the policy and process.
  Since we value your loyalty and want you to be able to experience the Braun
  Silk Expert Pro for yourself, we have made a one-time exception and have requested
  the US adapter be sent to you via postal mail. You can expect that to arrive
  within 3 weeks.
  
   We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

  I contacted P&G earlier today regarding an issue with Tide Pods, 57 count, which stained one of my bath towels. I washed the towel a second time on hot and a little more if the color came out, but not all and it appears permanently stained. The more I got to thinking about it, the more I think it’s only fair that Tide replaces my towel set, or offers $25 for this issue since it ruined my towel. I have even attached a picture (and the best life that I could) showing the stain.

  Thank you for bringing your
  experience to the attention of the Better Business Bureau and Oral B regarding your two
  recent Oral B orders.
  
  We
  see you have also contacted us directly regarding two recent Oral B refill
  orders #******* and #*******. Where although
  you didn’t have a product complaint were granted an
  MBG exception, as you requested. We’ve mailed out a postage paid label
  for you to complete the MBG process, if that hasn’t arrived yet you should
  receive it soon. Additionally, you were given a $5 refund for the discount
  price of the order you wanted to return due to the price difference.

  Date: 09/17/2025

  Thank you for reaching out
  to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Oral-B. We’re sorry to hear about this
  experience.
  
  Initially, we refunded $5,
  changing the total of the order to $43. When you disputed the charge with your
  bank, and they refunded a total of $49, and not $43, so you've been refunded
  more than what you were charged. 
  
  Based on the tracking
  information, your orders arrived on Tuesday, August 26 at 6:09 P.M and
  Thursday, August 28 at 6:35 P.M. Orders ******* and *******, the ones that
  showed as delivered, have been disputed, while order ******* was canceled. We
  do not charge for orders until they ship, so since order ******* was canceled,
  you were not charged. You may have seen a pending charge; however, this falls
  off within a few business days. According to ******, it can take up to 21 days
  for them to process the pending charge back to your original form of
  payment. 

  While we did send out MBG mailing material, that can take up to 3 weeks to arrive, it is no longer necessary to receive the items back. As stated above your bank has reversed the charges per your request, which has resulted in you being refunded more than you were ever charged.

  your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

I paid almost $89 for them both just to have your detergent stain my clothing. I’m very disappointed because I have never had issues with tide before. Please look at pants and shirt.

  P&G company is mailing me advertisements with my address and the label "Current Resident" as the recipient. When calling the company to remove myself from their mailing list, P&G suggested that I cannot be removed because it was being mailed under not my name but current resident. They tried to claim that they are not mailing it out. I have been on the national "do not mail" list for years. What I want is for this company to remove my address from this list and fix the policy about the names on the mailings.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau and our team. Please know, we're sorry for your disappointment, at times we do buy mailing list from companies, since the mailing stated current resident and not a specific name, it was likely a general mailer sent to a larger number of homes in a specific area/city.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and P&G. Please know, we're sorry for your disappointment.

  I checked on your request to have a follow up letter sent via postal mail. That was processed on August 8th, and they typically take up to 3 weeks to arrive. Since you stated you haven’t received it, I have requested another be sent to the address you provided. Please allow up to 3 weeks for this to arrive.
  As mentioned previously since the mailing you received stated "current resident" and not a specific name, it was likely a general mailer sent to a larger number of homes in a specific area/city. Since it was not addressed to you, there is no way for us to stop those from coming. However, we have removed your information so that you will not get any communications outside responding when you have reached out regarding our products or this issue.
  

  Again, we are sorry for your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

  I used Tide Power Pods using cold water. Apparently, the pod did NOT dissolve completely. After drying the clothing, we discovered Melted plastic pods on our clothing. Had to throw away 3 shirts. Impossible to find a customer support phone number to contact.

  I have been using Old Spice roll-on deodorant for several years without issue. However, after using the “Captain” scent recently, I developed severe chemical burns on my underarms, to the point where I was unable to lift my arms for several days. Believing it may have been an isolated incident, I switched brands for about a week before trying a different scent from the Old Spice line.
  
  Unfortunately, the same reaction occurred, again resulting in burns on both underarms.
  
  I contacted Procter & Gamble to report the matter, but their response stated that their product does not typically cause burns when used correctly. I am unsure how one could use a roll-on deodorant “incorrectly,” but I later discovered that not only have there been hundreds of similar reports in recent years, P&G was also sued in 2024 for this exact issue, an issue they suggested was uncommon.
  
  The best part? To rectify this situation, they sent me a coupon— for a free roll-on deodorant. Given the injuries I sustained, I had no intention of using their product again. The kicker? I gave it to a friend and no place would accept it.

  Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau regarding your experience with Old Spice. We appreciate you sharing it with us earlier this year and again, we're very sorry this happened. Be assured, we reported this with both our Health & Safety Team and the rest of our Old Spice Team.
  
  As with all our product, we rigorously test our products for safety, however, we know that some people may have individual sensitivities to a particular ingredient or formulation, regardless of the brand. We make many versions of Old Spice, including various scent, our intention with sending a coupon was to try one different than the one used previously. I am sending debit card for $20 help offset the cost of two units in the event that you're no longer able to use any of the products offered. Please look for it to arrive in about three weeks.
  Please know, many thousands of consumers use the products daily without issue, but again, we respect not every consumer can use every product. If you had an issue with a deodorant only product, we would recommend trying one that is an antiperspirant and deodorant, to see if that works for you.

  
  We appreciate you reaching out and hope this finds you doing well.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I understand that some individuals may have sensitivities, however, I find it concerning that I developed a severe reaction to the same scent I had been using for years. When I initially reached out, my concern was dismissed, and I was provided only with a faulty coupon. The reaction required medical attention, and I was informed it was a chemical burn rather than an allergic response.
  
  
  I apologize for following up again, as I previously submitted a complaint earlier this year but did not receive a formal response besides the coupon that suggested I was “using the deodorant incorrectly”. I wanted to ensure that this matter is taken seriously and properly addressed.
