Are they by any chance deodorant ones ? I know some other brands that are cause rashes because of the deodorant in them. Regular ones don't. Same with feminine napkins.

Are the pads themselves dyed purple or the outer wrapper is purple?

I do use Poise products - not liners though- and haven't had an issue yet. Just not sure what I should avoid if I do.

Sorry for my impatience lol. Thanks so much for your replies. I did just want to warn others that there is a potential for rash and itching. I might have to see my gyno for the itching from these!

It is the pads dyed purple. I have read online while researching this that tons of others have the same issue now after using these new and improved purple pads. They should have left them the way they were!! If its not broke, don't fix it Smiley Happy

Thankfully I don't have to use the liners often but still got this allergic itching. I wrote them and they wrote back saying to call the 800 number. I wrote back and said there is nothing to discuss that I have not already said. I even sent them the link to the other site where tons were having allergic issues too.

It seems that things I like are changed or discontinued too!!!

Cherry- Thanks. I will avoid those. It's bad enough to need to use a pad. Who needs to risk another problem. Millie

I use these for my 14 year old male dog who leaks every night. I appreciate the heads up OP.

Thank you for this info. For the FIRST time I decided to try something like this (I have the most "babied" bladder in the world), and wouldn't ya know, it's this brand and type that I decided to try. By "babied" I mean that I am a once-an-hour kind of girl, but lately, if I wait too long, I have noticed I am not as strong at controlling my blad as I once was.

I bought them three weeks ago and haven't yet used them -- glad I didn't. I'll try to return the package.
