Not the same as the 2024 version. I preferred the old one. Odor absorption no longer works, claim has been removed from the box. Pads are flimsy now and bunch up when wearing.
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 18 days ago
Hi April, thanks for sharing your feedback. Providing you with the high-quality pad you've come to expect is important to us. Our Balance pads still have 100% plant-based charcoal to help with odor control, so this is not the experience we expect you to have. If you're open to chatting with our team further about your experience and the change you're noticing, please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. We're here to help!

These have been okay so and Ive been using this brand for a few months but recently I have come to hate them due to the adhesive used on the wings it has gotten so stuck on a few pairs of my panties that i have had to throw them out, im surprised there isn’t a lawsuit bc on my end im highly annoyed of how sticky the wings are they will ruin your underwear so be aware.

Thank you for sharing your review. We're disappointed to hear that this was your experience! The adhesive should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove. Since this wasn't the case, we'd like to learn more and help out, so please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am – 5pm CT. Thanks!

These are super comfortable. Wings are sometimes difficult to align properly for me but I never have issues with these. The charcoal really does help with smell. I never leak with these. They do get a bit bunched up at night but they do it the least out of any other pad I've used.
Fave pads.

Gets the job done for a pad with wings. However, the adhesive is NOT strong enough. Moves out of place too much. If you’re in need of a pad this is an ok option just be aware that it might not be in place for long as it begins to slip off as soon as you place it.

The wings melted onto my underwear, literally. I'm not talking about just the glue being stuck on there. The wings complete with the patterns are affixed permanently. Expensive VS seamless panties in the trash now.

Horrible absorption. They burn. Going back to always infinity. These along with the Kotex tampons are horrible. They should hire women and get women’s input at Kotex. Horrible horrible products they’re producing. And of course the one good product they had was discontinued.

For me I have to wear a heavy pad. My only concern is that I could have the pad on for less than an hour, and i will randomly have blood dripping down my leg. So I’m not sure if this brand of pads takes a minute to fully absorb.

Great pad, terrible wings.

Anonymous - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
These are the only pads that feel dry even on a heavy period. And they are quiet too. Some of the other brands make a noise when you walk. BUT the wings stick too much to my underwear and now I have pieces of wing material stuck that I can’t get off. Such a bummer because the pad itself is so good.
But why?

JE - 1 year ago
Absolutely dislike the "charcoal" area. Might as well call it the "area that will not absorb anything" I fail to see why we'd need to worry about absorbing odors instead of absorbing the actual period. The old style without the brick of charcoal was amazing. Tell the company that all the women in the world say Boo!

The adhesive on these pads is worse than a dry envelope flap. If you breathe out while changing these pads, they fly away in the air. Standing up after putting one in your drawers is like losing the worst lottery imaginable. One star because the charcoal feature actually works.

These pads hold me through everything. I have never bled through them. My other friends don't use this brand and they have to deal with bleeding through, but I have never. I have heavy periods too and even if I wait a little longer to change my pad, I don't have any problems. Amazing!

Good but not long enough - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Kotex is still my favorite brand. The charcoal does help to absorb the smell. The con is that it is not long enough on the "heavy" pads. I have been wearing 2 of them (1 for front and back) to make sure I don't have any leakage in the back. I still have leakage when I'm not doing any intense physical activity. But If you are going to be working out, have heavy flow, or move a lot when you sleep, You're going to need to get the overnight pads or wear 2 pads to prevent it from leaking on your underwear. I wish they would make all the pads long.
