Full of Chemicals

This pad is made with various chemicals which caused me to have an allergic reaction. Not sure why brands can’t just use cotton…

Ultra thin pads with wings

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ph balancing pad that limit the odor allow me to have more confidence while being on my period. The pad opens up and lays flat along my panties. The ultra thin pad allows for more discrete coverage. They absorb well for a light pad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these you by Kotex ultra thin day pads with wings from influencer for my honest opinion these pads did a job and kept everything where it’s supposed to be, but they did feel kind of plastic key so I’ll be sticking to what i been buying

Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to avoid ultra thin pads, but I ended up enjoying these. The packaging is so cute with the polka dots. They're the perfect length of coverage for me while still being comfortable and the wings helped the pad stay nicely secure. I liked the flare out shape. Its something I don't see often and it doesn't scrunch up in the middle from my thighs. I used these during my light flow days ( mostly my 1st day and last 2 days). They had good absorption and I had no bleed through. I'm still scared to use these on my heaviest days (I'll still go grab a thick maxi pad) but it's overall a good product.

Great feel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pads, I actually prefer these to tampons, they feel great and absorb a lot without being bulky. They don’t irritate my skin either so that’s a plus!

I’ve been using this brand for years and it continues to be reliable. These heavy pads have great absorption and provide strong protection without feeling bulky. The comfort is really good, even with extended wear, and the wings help keep the pad securely in place. The price is reasonable, especially at Target, making it a great value compared to other brands.

Great for teens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the perfect pads for a beginner or teen just getting her period. These Kotex pads helped my daughter understand what she needs and were comfortable. There was no leakage or overwhelming feeling due to thickness. She’s active so no one could see them. She didn’t have any redness or breakout due to these. I will definitely keep these in stock for her.

Lightweight, durable, leak free, and no ordors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very good. The material was amazing! It did not leak. It did not feel as though I wet myself. It was light and did not feel heavy. It did not tear either. It also did not break me out or itch. This was very absorbent, and no order.

Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material is great, love the packaging, love how discreet it was. I was able to wear it with leggings with no problems. The adhesion was a little too tacky, but great absorption.

My Go To Pads for During the Day

These are my go to pads that I wear during the day at that time of the month. They are so soft comfy flexible thin and still absorbent. They are so discreet that I sometimes wear one under a leotard and nobody can see. Please keep on selling these! ❣️

Great size and very comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are veryyyy thin pads and are nicely individually packed. I got size 2 and it covers my underwear pretty well. It has wings so prevents getting my pants dirty. They are very comfortable and great for both mornings and nights.

Eh, just okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start this by saying, every body is different, so what works for one may not for another. That being said, I am not a fan of these. The supposedly raised center doesn't keep anything, it still goes outside of that. It works about as well as any other regular pad. I wouldn't say this is for heavy absorbance because I am not that heavy of a flow and these didn't last that long. I don't think they are long enough. I didn't notice the charcoal center doing anything special. I do like that they have wings and they did stick well. These are overall, nothing special, just like any other regular pad. I'll be sticking to my usual brand.

So comfy and absorbent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Kotex in our house! My daughter and I both prefer their products. These pads are soft, thin, absorbent, and have wings. These are great on my sensitive skin and they move with you. No sliding or bunching, hallelujah! They are 100% leak- free and they have a raised center to lock in blood/sweat.
