I was lucky enough to get a pack full of samples from almost the whole range of U by Kotex & I have to say I am a big fan. I love how the pad really does curve to your body. That is always the bonus with thin pads but just because it's really thin doesn't mean it can't do the job. I have always preferred pads that have wings because I just feel like I have extra protection from leakage (which personally is always my biggest fear) plus I like how the wings give it that extra grip to stay in place when wearing. The extra absorbent core is the real winner here making me feel safer on slightly heavier days or when I might be stuck somewhere unable to freshen up. I also quite like the black packaging with a splash of colour. Not that it changes the effectiveness of the product at all but I does make it feel kinda classy.

The first thing that drew me to these pads was the packaging - bright, colourful and cute. But of course as we all know, some things can be decorated as much as they like and still be a dud. Thankfully, these pads aren't like that at all!
They don't shift about, the glue isn't horrible and I haven't had any leakage problems while using them.
I'm also very happy with the price of them - feminine hygiene products can certainly add up after a while, so I'm glad these are relatively cheap. I won't use any other brand!
I am a little bit picky when it comes to sanitary pads. Of course, we, girls, need to have a reliable buddy during our monthlies. I find U by Kotex helpful since its lining is made of cottony material which lets the skin breathe as compared to the highly absorbent pads with plastic which can make you feel yucky. Also, it's thin so we can still manage to wear moderately skimpy pants without our pads bulging out. Its length also provides longer than average absorption 'life' though we still should change it from time to time for hygienic purposes. And lastly, it's easy on the pocket. And its packaging is flashy and cute, too.
These pads are fantastic. They do exactly what they say they will & are very good value. I really like that they are individually wrapped as this makes it easier to throw a couple in your bag. They are also a good length & definitely not bulky and uncomfortable like other pads can be.
I love this product because I didnt feel like Im wearing a pad at all , I love the blue middle it hives me s peife of mindbthat the is going to over flow I like the funky packaging
Firstly, I really like the packaging, it's fun and colourful, a real pick me up for those days you have a horrible cramp. I also like these pads a lot, I have medium flow so these ones are perfect for me. I like that they are thin and when I wear them, I don't even realise. I have tried libra ultra thins, but for me, U by kotex ones just feel much more comfortable and suit me more. Absolutely love them. However, if you have heavier flow, then these ones might not be so good, and you may have to invest in the super ones.
This is problem just personal preference but I found that with U ultra thins I just don't feel comfortable nor do they hold up for long.
Ok they are cute and the packaging is adorable for what it is, nicely brightly coloured. But what I have experienced from the range is that they don't hold up to women who have a highly than average flow. I went through the whole packet in a day!! normally a packet lasts me at least 2-3 days.
Its a hard thing to judge as I think that this brand and especially this level of protection would be ideally suited to the younger girls, the newbies to the period world, or for woman who have light short periods.
The best pad so far that I have used. The product is really absorbent and has cute colourful packaging (boyfriend or brother thinks it's actually a packaging of those pocket facial tissues). What I like about this product is it actually stays where it should stay and doesn't try to go to the side or move whenever it wants to (being active and all). What I like the most also is it doesn't irritate the inguinal area like other brands do.
I recommend all U by Kotex products and I purchase these for my daughters, especially my youngest who has only just begun. I am a Social Worker in Schools and got sample packs for our year 6 girls (we have 12 low decile schools in our rohe that we service) they came in these funky little discreet bags similar to a pencil case. My daughter has hers packed and ready in her school bag and I must say that I do too. They are ultra absorbent and ultra thin that you don't even notice them. The packaging is also bright and colourful perfect for girls, it says 'having a period is not all doom and gloom'. To be honest when this brand came out I thought they were for 'young ones' but not so I have medium to heavy periods and I use the super ultra thins when necessary, no leakage, absorbent and they stay put, highly recommended.
I love the funky bright packaging. The are absorbant & a good shape & I feel comfortable wearing them. Price is always good!
