pretty good at leak protection but 3 stars because it’s WAY too sticky and ruins your panties. definitely not getting a new box with this brand.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! We're disappointed to learn about your experience. The adhesive should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove without residue. 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!

These U Kotex products are made with such sticky backing that it stays stuck on the panties even after you try to just take the pad off your panty. Ugh will never buy these again. I had to toss two panties away because of this. So frustrating.

Oh no! We are surprised to hear this and we're disappointed that this was your experience. What you're describing is not what we expect and we'd like to learn more and help. Please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am – 5pm CT, we're eager to assist. Thanks.

Long time user of these pads. The real real review on these pads is they are extremely thin (most comfortable pads I’ve ever used), decently absorbent for how thin they are, with odor control being average. They are long enough to fit several different body shapes and have a clear shape for front/back. The adhesive for the pad is insane. You could do a marathon with this pad and it won’t move an inch. This also means when you try to remove IT WILL BREAK. The wings almost always leave some kind of residue on the underwear and occasionally the pad itself can tear when removing. Loses a star for that. Always come out on the wash though, so 4 stars!

This is the only pad I've tried that does not budge. The wings stay where they are supposed to and the pad stays stuck to your underwear. Absorbs a lot better than other brands I've tried. The others didn't really absorb everything just sat on top, if you know what I mean. Had 0 leaks. Would recommend.

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
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 - 1 year 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.

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.
Awful new adhesive, rips apart during removal

Liz - 1 year ago
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!

Don't use if you have sensitive skin.

K - 2 years ago
Kotex pads were my go-to whenever I needed supplies but ever since they put in that charcoal strip it’s been terrible. I’ve gotten rashes, my mom has gotten rashes. A few of my friends who used them previously don’t use them anymore either because 1) the charcoal strip gave them a rash, or 2) the general design change of the pad made them frustrated. They put absolutely zero thought into their audience with sensitive skin. I would’ve considered switching over to their Clean & Secure line… but there’s no wings on the pads. In general it’s a loss when it comes to the pad products now because if you have sensitive skin, you can’t use the pads with wings for the extra security. That’s all.
