U by Kotex Balance Ultra Thin Pads with Wings, Heavy Absorbency, 16 Count

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great protection, perfect size and also pocket friendly. I can put one of this and not be afraid of my period passing through my clothes. And is the perfect size as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using U by Kotex for a while now and honestly I keep going back to them. They're super comfortable, don't feel bulky, and actually stay in place. I also like that they don't have that weird plasticky feel some other brands do. Just overall really reliable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great to use during the day. Perhaps on your 3rd-4th day when you are bleeding heavy. I like how you can wear them and they won't feel bulky or uncomfortable.

I have used Kotex pads religiously for the past several years and within the last few cycles I have noticed severe irritation when I wear them. I wasn't sure at first but decided to try another brand mid cycle and immediately noticed it wasn't painful or burning or irritated anymore. I was actually shocked to how quickly it resolved. Not sure if it's related to the charcoal or not, but whatever it is, it doesn't work for me anymore. Outside of that, they provided good coverage.

We have purchased box after box of Kotex pads for years. These new pads with charcoal are AWFUL. Why is this now the only option? We are now looking for and trying out new brands, but really we just want the old products back--they worked and were reliable. I cannot imagine why Kotex thinks every woman on the planet wants charcoal in their pads!!

Please bring back your original pad without charcoal. Kotex was one of the only brands my daughter and I could use because they didn't irritate the skin. For someone with endometriosis and heavy periods I need a product to remain consistent. Have you ever heard of the term “if it's not broke, don't fix it” that applies in this case. No charcoal, fragrance, or irritants should be put by the most delicate part of a woman's body.

If there is real charcoal inside the pad...it can cause BAD reactions. Charcoal draws out impurities and can cause pimples & rashes on the human face, so why should this be inside a pad that stays in contact with a sensitive area? Not a good reaction, pad stiff, doesn't stick well and slides around a lot, and didn't notice much order control. I think charcoal should be kept for the face, maybe body, but not sensitive areas. Maybe try something not charcoal?

I bought this about a week ago. I love ubykotex and I use them more than always. I saw this new version of them and thought why not give it a try. Terrible idea, terrible way to lose money! I had the absolute worst allergic reactions, I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. To make sure I used anything version by and sure enough the allergic reaction came to a close. I'm sorry but I l not be using this brand anymore, I normal don't have this problem with trying new things.

This is the worst pad by Kotex I have ever used! They added the charcoal lining to supposedly reduce odor but it in fact makes it worse. Because of the charcoal it doesn't absorb barely anything so you will be going through a ton more pads. I felt wet all the time and very uncomfortable, a terrible design.

I've used this brand for many years, the new charcoal change is not good. Please offer without charcoal, I as well as frome what I read many others are having allergic reactions to the change. I've loved your product for years, however now I'm unable to use them.
