    Horrible reaction

    I had never bought these pantiliners before, and I had never been allergic to a pantiliner before. After a day or two, I noticed a horrible dryness, burning, itching, and swelling in my privates. The hair follicles in my private area also seemed to get clogged with something, and several little pimples broke out. (Mind you, I do not have an STD, and I have not had a new partner.) I stopped using these panty liners, just in case they were causing the issue. I had recently started working out again after not working out for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if maybe working out again had somehow caused the issue. I started to feel a bit better after a day or so, and I decided to give these pantiliners one more try. Mistake!!! It was the pantiliners causing the issue all along. As soon as I stopped using them again, I started to feel better. I continue to work out with no problems.

    My go to brand

    I am and avid user of liners. It’s and everyday use item and something I keep a supply of at home. By far carefree is my favourite brand. It’s comfortable and good value for the price. I definitely recommend it.

    Deceptive marketing

    It turns out that “unscented” doesn’t mean “fragrance-free.” I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why my vagina has been excruciatingly itchy... I went to the doctor and had all the tests run trying to figure out why this has been happening to me. All the tests came back saying everything is normal... finally I decided I was going to look into the ingredients in the carefree panty liners I have been using and low and behold— that information is nowhere to be found. I did some more internet searches and discovered that these liners actually do contain an “Oder neutralizer” A.K.A: FRAGRANCE. So great job, Carefree, you tricked me into trusting your product advertisement. You got my $10 and I got an awkward exam, a doctors bill, and an itchy vagina.

    The only kind I buy

    I use this product on almost a daily basis. I have sensitive skin so I find this product to be one that doesn't irritate me compared to other brands. I don't find it to be overly absorbing but it gets the job done, you just have change the liner more frequently. The price is usually pretty reasonable.

    Highly recommend

    Its hard to find a pantiliner that doesnt bunch up, that doesnt make me irritated, and doesnt make me sweat but Carefree doesnt do any of those. They stay in place and love they are unscented.

    My favorite liner!

    These are my go to liners!
    They aren't too thick and not too thin for everyday use if needed.
    The material used feels like a soft cotton so it's always soft and never uncomfortable.
    The value for this product is great! It often goes on sale and you can get these for a few dollars!
    I highly recommend !

    They seem to have changed these liners! I am so disappointed. I have been using these for probably about a decade. The material used is no longer as soft as before an I find that they do not stick as well. I will be on the search for a new favorite.

    ALLERGIC REACTION (Would never buy this product again)

    Are Carefree Acti-Fresh Pantiliners Really “Unscented”?
    No. To my knowledge, though I cannot prove it, they are not.
    Let me explain.
    I have been using this Acti-Fresh line of products for about 3-months. I also happen to have very sensitive skin, so I expected that this packaged “unscented” brand would be gentle. In this 3-months, I developed an uncomfortable allergy and could not put 1 and 1 together. I ran from my family doctor to walk-ins, checked for other causes of my discomfort, and was told I’m perfectly healthy. Finally one day, I did a simple Google search, where I typed, “Carefree Allergic Reaction,” and low and behold I came across several forums with complaints of rashes, burning sensations, allergic reactions, and overall discomfort related specifically to Carefree’s Acti-Fresh line of product.
    So I called Carefree Directly to get consumer information…
    On the phone, the representative asked me about what product I was using, and how I was reacting. Here’s the punchline: The representative said, that according to FDA standards, even if a feminine product is listed as “unscented,” the company behind the product is still ALLOWED to use a small level of fragrance. She admitted that Acti-Fresh has an odor-control ingredient that could not be disclosed publicly, and recommended that I use their Original brand which does not have this ingredient. The same lady said she would send me coupons in the mail, and that I could return the product to their umbrella company, Edgewell Personal Care (who also own Playtex, O.B., and Playtex) for lab testing and possible, but not guaranteed, medical expense reimbursement.
    I just wanted to share this experience for ladies that have sensitive skin, to not always believe what’s written on the package, because unfortunately, consumers in the feminine care department are not protected by FDA standards, or by companies like Carefree who deliberately use deceptive packaging.

    One of the good ones

    There are a couple of liner brands that I use but these ones are one of my favorites cause you don't even know your wearing one and it gives you great coverage for when you don't need a maxi pad but still need some protection.

    incontinence liners

    great for days you might want to feel fresh and secure. Very light protection, tried the body shape regulars. They have a odor neutralizers. these would be great only for light bladder protection.

    I really like Carefree Acti-Fresh panti-liners. They are so thin that it feels like I am wearing nothing. I wear them at the end of my period or when I think it is coming to protect from leakage but without feeling like I'm wearing anything. They do a great job!
