[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a hardcore fan of these. They are amazingly thin and flexible but they feel to plastic and just don’t feel the absorbency is there. This is for regular cycle girlies not for girlies with more flow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Kotex products for a while but these are a nice new addition to my period lineup. I use these on lighter days and they absorb quite well without leaving any scents. Comfortable and the wings hold the pad in place for a good fit. Great for beginning or end days of the period where you have a lighter flow but still need coverage.
Comfortable pads

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were comfortable to wear all day and fit well, however I do wish the wings were larger. It had good leak protection and absorbency for lighter flow days.

Used to love these then you changed them too much. The charcoal part ok I can live with. The part that makes me not want to buy the regular ones is the wings. Why did you mess with them?! The new shape and length of them is awful. You kept the overnight wings like old ones why did you change these? Bring the old wings back.

Best pads I’ve used. They’re thin so it’s way more comfortable and I’ve never had any leaks. I also switched to their overnight ones because I liked these
Not a fan of the ingredients

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the U by Kotex Balance Ultra Thin with Wings Regular pads. I like how thin and comfortable they are, and the packaging design is nice. However, I was disappointed with the absorbency — they don’t fully absorb and tend to develop an unpleasant odor. I’m also not a fan of the ingredients, as they contain chemicals and aren’t made with 100% cotton. I want products that are chemical-free and better for my health.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had always used another popular brand, but once I tried Kotex, it was a game changer. These are absorbent and also great on sensitive skin. I definitely recommend this product.
Game changer!

I love the charcoal for the odor control! When using regular pads, I feel like I start to smell my period and it makes me so self conscious. These have helped tremendously!

Please we beg you !!!! Get rid of the charcoal! It’s unnecessary and extremely irritating 🥴
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 5 months ago
Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback with us! Our goal is to provide you with a pad that is safe, comfortable, and secure. All components in our products are evaluated to ensure irritation is unlikely to occur, so this isn’t something we’d expect to hear. If you’re open to sharing more about your experience, we would like to chat! Please call us at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. Lastly, if you’re searching for an alternative, we recommend trying our Clean & Secure line, as these products do not contain charcoal.

These are killing the corners of my leg where my underwhere is. It’s just rubbing and chafing so bad, I’d rather take it off and risk it until I get home. It’s a horrible uncomfortable feeling. The pad felt kind wide.
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 5 months ago
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! This is NOT the experience we want you to have with our pads! The adhesive should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove. Since this hasn't been your experience, we'd like to learn more and see how we can help. When you have a chance, please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. We hope to hear from you soon!

I been buying these pads for years. I do not like the charcoal cushioncore that helps stop odor. The charcoal causes a bad odor and I need to keep changing my pad. Please bring back the original no need for charcoal. Other then that I’ve always loved this brand of pads.
1 reply from U by Kotex Customer Care Team team - 5 months ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We expect the charcoal layer to help stop odor, so what you're describing is not what we want to hear. If you're interested in an alternative, we do recommend checking out our Clean & Secure line for a charcoal-free option! We'd like to learn more about your experience as well, so please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. Thanks!

Wow, remember when these used to be thicker than a pantyliner? Not that I'm surprised - these are obviously designed to have to be changed hourly. I have used Kotex pads for decades; I am absolutely changing brands thanks to the abysmal support their products provide during the most uncomfortable days of my month. I hope your greed sees you right out of business, Kotex.

Hey there! It sounds like you've been a long time user, and we never want to disappoint a long time U by Kotex fan! It sounds like our Clean & Secure Maxi pads may be a fit for your needs. Have you tried these? We'd love to chat further to better understand what you're noticing and when you started to notice a change. We're available at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT, and look forward to hearing more from you! Thanks.

I've bought these pads for years and recently they changed the materials used. It's not just the charcoal, which I'm not a fan of - the odor control was already very good before they added charcoal - but also the adhesive is different now. These literally fuse to my underwear. I just had one pad tear open while removing it for disposal, which, needless to say, was nasty. The wings also tend to have a layer rip off during removal which is then impossible to remove, even after going through the wash. I wish they would go back to the previous version of these pads, as those were perfect.

Hi Liz, thanks for reaching out with your feedback. We're disappointed to hear about your experience with our pads. The adhesive should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove. Since this wasn't you experience, we'd like to learn more and see how we can help. When you have a chance please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. In the meantime, we recommend applying vegetable oil or a spot remover before washing the underwear in cold water to help remove the adhesive. We hope to hear from you soon!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My go-to choice for that time of the month! These pads are super thin and discreet, which is perfect for when you're on the move and need some extra protection without feeling like you're wearing a diaper. The regular size is just right for me – not too big and not too small – and they stay in place surprisingly well throughout the day. The best part? They're ultra-absorbent, so I never have to worry about leaks or accidents
