SANTA MONICA, Calif.-( Business Wire )-

ModernMom.com announced today that Always^®, the leader in feminine protection, has received the first ever ModernMom Seal of Approval for its Always Xtra Protection with Odor-Lock^® Liners and Always Infinity Pads. Designed to recognize products that meet the highest standard of excellence, the ModernMom Seal of Approval helps moms find exceptional products that will make their busy lives easier. Always sponsored the in-home research project and provided moms with product free of charge. The products were tested and evaluated by ModernMom.com members, or ModernMom Insiders.

“The ModernMom Seal of Approval will help moms, especially new moms, find the best of the best when it comes to products they need,” said Lisa Rosenblatt, ModernMom Co-CEO. “Our Insiders have spoken and Always Xtra Protection Liners and Always Infinity Pads are excellent products that they would recommend.”

ModernMom.com partnered with Always to launch their Seal of Approval and asked women to use and evaluate the Always Xtra Protection Liners and Infinity Pads. Nine out of 10 of ModernMom Insiders who tried Always Xtra Protection Liners or Always Infinity Pads agree they would recommend the products to others. As part of the evaluation process, women said the products are “comfortable,” “absorbent” and provide “great protection.”²

“As a mother of three myself, I value other moms’ opinions about products they use and recommend,” said Sarah Innes, North America FemCare Marketing Director, Procter & Gamble. “Always is committed to providing women with trusted and superior products and is honored that these products have received the first ever ModernMom Seal of Approval.”
