[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gotta just get it out there first - these are insane. They’re HUGE!!! I wish I would’ve had these when I was postpartum with my children, they would’ve been a life saver. You hav any issues with leakage during your period or moving in your sleep when on your period? These got you taken care of, babe. They’re so comfortable - and are entirely non-irritating (conventional pads tend to irritate me), I’m genuinely so impressed with their performance. The wings could be just *slightly* stickier, but they get the job done in any case. There’s not much else to say - if you have a heavy flow, move a lot in your sleep, or are post partum, try these out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these to be okay. I don’t usually wear pads. These were not uncomfortable, but I probably wouldn’t buy for myself. If you are a person that wears pads, I could see these being comfortable enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised by these. They are very comfortable, stay in place, keep in odor and absorb a lot. I rarely if ever have leaking issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually, I use these on the second and third days, as those are my heaviest, and for the most part, they held up. Now, I don't know if these will work for people who have very heavy days, though. They are comfortable as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very good. They are thin and super long. A problem I had during heavy flow was leakage during sleep. I move around a lot when I sleep so my pad shifted. This U by Kotex pad stays put due to its design. Wings are placed exactly where they wrap around the underwear. The backside has great coverage. They are comfortable to sleep in and protected my clothes well. I was very pleased. I will definitely keep these in stock at home for those heavy flow nights.

Not the same as the 2024 version. I preferred the old one. Odor absorption no longer works, claim has been removed from the box. Pads are flimsy now and bunch up when wearing.
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 2 months ago
Hi April, thanks for sharing your feedback. Providing you with the high-quality pad you've come to expect is important to us. Our Balance pads still have 100% plant-based charcoal to help with odor control, so this is not the experience we expect you to have. If you're open to chatting with our team further about your experience and the change you're noticing, please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. We're here to help!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfy and protective! I didn’t have any problems with leakage overnight and it fit perfectly. I enjoyed how it didn’t feel like a sponge was stuck on to me but rather it was thin and absorbent! The moisture didn’t feel suffocating and I could wear it during the day as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually get this brand, since they’re amazing for no leakage even though they’re so thin! They’re not too uncomfortable, and it definitely depends on the size but personally I love the wings. They fit pretty well too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good alternative to Always Infinity. This heavy flow pad is longer than the #5 Always pad for overnight. Light weight, thin, and fast absorbing. Not as breathable though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried the Kotex Balance Ultra Thin Day Pads with Wings (Heavy), and wow—these things are VERY long! If you need full coverage and extra protection, these definitely deliver. They’re super thin but still absorbent, and the wings help keep them in place. I appreciate that they’re unscented and feel soft, not plasticky. The length might be a bit much for some, but if you want peace of mind on heavy flow days, these are a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing. It's good for overnight, it's long enough. I like it because it has the wings so the period won't go to the side. And it's not very thick which I love. It's light and thin the air can gets in and it can breath not like other thick once difference brand.

I got this delivered as a gift. I asked for pantyliners to use with tampons. Leak control. I freaked out when the middle turned dark, like a heavy flow. I was like "this is not possible". They need a warning to prevent heart attacks.
1 reply from U by Kotex Customer Service team - 3 months ago
Hey there! It sounds like you're referring to our charcoal-infused CushionCore center. This experience is unexpected, as the CushionCore center is always dark, and it does not have a color-changing effect. If you would like to chat with our team further about what happened, please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT or contact us via email here: https://www.ubykotex.com/en-us/contact-us. We're here to listen! 🖤

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opted in for this and then found out I was pregnant, I gave them to my niece. She was adamant she disliked pads and would never use them. I gave these to her to try and they completely changed her perspective. She said it was the thinnest, comfiest, and driest pad she’s ever used. She had no leaks with them either. I finally got her away from tampons. Kotex you did you thing with these!

BM - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
These have been okay so and Ive been using this brand for a few months but recently I have come to hate them due to the adhesive used on the wings it has gotten so stuck on a few pairs of my panties that i have had to throw them out, im surprised there isn’t a lawsuit bc on my end im highly annoyed of how sticky the wings are they will ruin your underwear so be aware.
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 4 months ago
Thank you for sharing your review. We're disappointed to hear that this was your experience! The adhesive should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove. Since this wasn't the case, we'd like to learn more and help out, so please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am – 5pm CT. Thanks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pads are great if you want something that isn't very noticeable. Me and my teen daughter both use these and love them for that time of month. We like the wings how they stay in place, and it absorbs alot. I havmt had any problems with leaks at all and I am on the heavier side of bleeding.
