U by Kotex Balance Ultra Thin Pads with Wings, Heavy Absorbency, 46 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I don't normally leave reviews for these types of products due to the variances many people can experience.. but I will try and give you a reason why I tried and now love these! These are now my GO-TO!~ I will start by saying for the majority of my life I used homemade pads due to family history of TSS and heavy bleeding. However, I was lucky to not have heavy bleeding compared to my other family members with cycles. Little did I know that not everyone bled the same as everyone else. (Ignorance) My grandmothers and mothers before me swore up and down that I had to wear super heavy padding to keep all the blood soaked and to reduce smell.. so I lived that way for over 25 years. Recently a boyfriend of mine bought these at the store when I asked him if he had any pads in the house. (He was sweet enough to go grab some.) I mentioned to him I didn't bleed much and that I wanted something called regular. (He bought regular, but I picked up the heavy recently from Amazon - hence this review.) I had never in my life had a more comfortable experience with a pad. I was only exposed to homemade pads that were thick, stinky, uncomfortable, but also wash/reusable. Of course pads were made available to me during my life, but they were very itchy and quite honestly not as comfortable as the homemade ones. Until U by Kotex! I have a common occurrence of blood coming forwards and upwards towards my tummy. My blood does not go towards my butt and everything seems to pool forwards. I found that these pads have a spade shaped design that is a little bigger on one end than the other and its perfect to cover my entire upper pubic area. Pros: - Charcoal is ABSOLUTELY a must now. I can't bring myself to say there is no smell, but there is definitely a FRESHER experience by having this feature. - Regular and Heavy both FEEL the same on. You would think a heavy design would feel thicker? Nope! It's just as thin, but more absorbent. I tend to use 3-5 during my whole cycle of 4-7 days. (Of course that is preference.) - The wings are thin and comfortable, but easily wrapped around most standard cuts I have worn. I do not recommend slim/bikini designs of panties during use. - Cute packaging, but not needed to use. - THIN. THIN. THIN. It's so nice to not feel these ball up in your underwear, but feel protected. - Compact box. - NO LEAKS (yet) on my gusset. I am not ruining pairs of underwear with use due to.. WINGS. - Great from start to finish. (Of cycle/time.) - Great for forward flowing blood. - Decent size, but also I am a taller woman so I may have a "longer" region for it to fit perfectly. Cons: - The value is debatable. They are the most expensive on the shelves, but really work. - The pad can come off the wrapping when you unwrap it. Be careful! I would say take your time to really place this correctly. - The adhesive on the wings is absolutely ruined if you accidentally touch it to its self. (Mostly) - Not a QUICK process to place it on your underwear - however taking your time will be the best course of action and then its SMOOTH from then on.

Kotex is amazing. My mom used to buy organic pads, but they constantly irritated my skin, and I hated feeling like I had to change them every two hours because of the price. I have very sensitive skin, and I’ve never experienced irritation with Kotex. Kotex completely changed how I feel about my periods. I went from dreading them to realizing that periods shouldn’t be that uncomfortable when you’re using the right products. I feel very secure using Kotex, and it’s clear that they’re a brand that truly cares about comfort and quality. Thank you Kotex.

Its fine and absorable

Perfect, very comfortable and high quality.

Good. Thought they were bladder pads but they are period pads. Work just fine, though, for what I need. I love the wings which not all feminine products have.

Love these pads, I used them when visiting America and can only get them off Amazon now back in UK. Great for sensitive skin and soft.

I’ve had my period for 34 years. Let that sink in. Anyhow, these pads are the best pads I’ve ever tried. Thin, leak proof, comfortable and doesn’t leave me itchy. I wish I had tried these sooner!

Too expensive

Odourless and it’s the best pads I’ve used!! The charcoal lining really helps!

I’ve been using the U by Kotex Balance Heavy Ultra Thin Pads for a few months now, and I have to say, they’ve become a staple in my period care routine. These pads offer a great balance of absorbency and comfort without breaking the bank. Comfort and Fit: One of the standout features is how thin and discreet these pads are. Despite being ultra-thin, they provide excellent protection during heavy flow days without feeling bulky or uncomfortable. The soft cover feels gentle against the skin, which is a big plus for anyone with sensitivity issues. Absorbency: For an ultra-thin pad, the absorbency is impressive. I feel confident wearing them throughout the day, and they handle even my heavier flow days with ease. The wings help keep everything in place, which is crucial when you’re active or on the go. I also appreciate that they lock in moisture without causing that uncomfortable, soggy feeling. Value for Money: Given the quality and performance of these pads, they’re an excellent value for the price. You get a reliable product that you can trust to keep you dry and comfortable without spending a fortune. I’ve tried more expensive brands, and honestly, U by Kotex holds its own in terms of performance. Packaging: The packaging is convenient and compact, making it easy to slip a few pads into your bag when you’re heading out. I also appreciate the individually wrapped pads, which keep them clean and discreet. Overall: If you’re looking for an affordable, reliable, and comfortable pad, the U by Kotex Balance Heavy Ultra Thin Pads are a fantastic option. They may not have all the bells and whistles of some high-end brands, but they get the job done effectively without compromising on comfort.
