No, because (this is going to sound so awkward, but) you can't wipe\ anything with them. I dunno if you've actually seen the top of always pads, but it's like plastic with little holes in it. So you can't use it to wipe anything, cos the liquid will spread but if you put it below something that's dripping it will absorb that well.
Actually, if you are even in a situation where you are carrying a heavy back pack, I strongly recommend padding the inside of the straps with Always pads to stop them rubbing against your shoulders
