I bought these from the supermarket only because I liked the packaging. Also, because it said it doesn't have wings and I prefer those. The wrapping of the pads is really colorful and there are different colors in the packet which is good. Pads are not thick at all and they have a decent absorbency level. Since they are regular sized and I prefer long ones but still I don't experience any leakage at all which is very good. So, I would keep using them in the future.

I was seduced by the packaging to be honest, I started using these when I was doing IVF as a side effect of the drugs was extra "ahem" discharge. I moved up to the super after my Daughter was born. They are comfortable to wear and no matter how heavy things get these pads always draw the moisture away and you are comfortable. My biggest peeve with pads is the bunching or moving when you sleep at night and these totally stay put. The shape of the pad and extra adhesive really do help towards a better nights sleep with no leaking.
Tips: My tip buy them in all sizes you never know what flow you will get and change them often even if you don't think you need to, so you keep feeling fresh.
The packaging prompted me to try this and I definitely love the different colours of each packaging for separate pads. The pads themselves are fantastic. Even though they're ultra thin, they can still absorb heavy leakage without much issue. They feel like you're not wearing them which pretty much translates to very comfortable!
Kotex pads have provided me a welcome change from the Stayfree and Libra market. I am allergic to the scent used in Stayfree and rebranded Carefree pads which left me with only Libra. Now there are two options. Within the brand there are numerous variants such as sport or extra protection. I highly recommend extra protection night pads for a snuggly sleep in. I love how there are multiple coloured wrappers in packet just makes things cheerful.
The pads themselves are ultrathin like their name, not sure they could get any thinner. The adhesive is very effective and i am yet to experience any bunching or slipping of the pad. My first choice for pads.
I do however find the regular variety physically too small to feel protected. Probably more suited to tweens. I stick to super and overnight.
These pads fit better than most of the others out there, it fits to your body and you can barely feel it. The absorbance is great and you don't have to worry about it moving around or leaking. The different ranges they've brought out is amazing and the packaging is really fun and colourful so its not as embarrassing if anyone rummages through your bag and sees it.
Tips: Stock up :)
These pads are light, compfirtable and feel very natural in your underwear, I use these instead of any pad or tampond and have them in my bag all the time as they look like tissues if you have anyone see them anyway, They are the best hold for anything and I trust and live by these.
Tips: Always change a few times a day to stay feeling fresh.
I use these throughout my cycle aswell as during my period as a very light thin, barely even there, feeling liner. They are so thin and mold to the body so well you dont feel as though your wearing anything yet they are absorbent enough as a great backup to a tampon or during your cycle to stay clean and fresh. My go to pantyliner. I also love the indiscreet packagaing
I didn't enjoy using thus product as I found the shape of them too uncomfortable. The sticky side didn't seem to stick very well and it moved around a bit. I have tried most of the ranges available in new Zealand and I probably wouldn't buy these again. I would much prefer paying an extra dollar or two and getting Libra invisibles than this brand.
I have purchased these ultra thins from New World many times over the years, alongside several other brands. They come in very colourful and attractive packaging.
Initially I used them to back up my tampons, but now they are very useful with approaching menopause, for my much lighter periods. I especially like that they are light to wear and invisible under long pants.
I find them sufficiently absorbent for what they are designed for, and find them comfortable, as they don't move around or fold at the back like some brands can do. The wings are great to hold them in place and I'd never return to a product that didn't have wings now.
I recommend these to everyone to try, as they are comfortable, clean, absorbent, easy to wear and use, and as economical as any other brand.
Okay so i've used these since they came out. Just like their tampons theyre adorable with their little individual colours. They're comfortable, as comfortable as pads will ever be. They come in a variety of sizes to suit your needs too. Unfortunately as cute as they are, they're still noisey and definitely not discrete when you're opening them. Always wear these, paired with the tampons on my heavier days, but these are my mains. Absolutely love. Discrete while wearing, absorbent and cute.
