These used to be my go to for years and years but they had to of reformulated because they are so uncomfortable now. Before they were soft and moveable, but now they feel so stiff like cardboard- not the move! I like the Cora brand now!

Terrible product after they changed to charcoal. Doesn’t absorb well at all! Also the wings and the sticky residue stays on underwear and hard to remove!

Thanks for sharing your review! We're sorry to learn about your experience with the absorbency and adhesive of the pad, which should be strong enough to hold in place, while being easy enough to remove. 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.

Severe allergic reaction

Sick of products changing - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
No stars if possible. I have had an allergic reaction to these pads. Not just severe sore achy redness and severe itching (not in a place where that is possible to address-bikini area/Brazilian wax area) but severe pins and needles and a general feeling that my entire body (from face down to my knees) is on fire which develops into hives that cover my torso. My adult daughter happened to be here and need a pad. She had the same reaction in her bikini area. Did this product change? Either way this is absolutely not a normal reaction. Absorbency was ok still had leaks-would never recommend for overnight but great during the day. I always flip the pad around to have the wider side upfront. Leaks still occur. Zero oder control. Comfort was what you expect.

I really liked the length and the absorption but definitely I'm not a big fan on the glue of the pads, like it doesn't stay where it needs to stay.

ive never reviewed anything but i have to on these. the old kind that didnt have the charcoal lining were great. but ever since they changed theyve been giving me like pimples and its itchy and painful. i tried an "organic" brand and had no problems and when i put one of these on since its all i had, the pimples came back so i knew its these. maybe im allergic idk but the charcoal lining is a marketing scheme. you dont smell. theres no need for this change in these. please release a charcoal free version!!!
1 reply from U by Kotex Expert team - 4 months ago
Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Lily. We’re disappointed to hear about your experience as your comfort and well-being are our top priorities! The charcoal in our Balance pads is 100% plant-based ingredient that can help neutralize odors without harsh ingredients while still offering comfortable protection. However, we understand everyone has different needs. If you're open to trying an alternative pad, our Clean & Secure line does not contain charcoal…we would recommend giving these a try. Since we design our products to ensure what you're describing is unlikely to occur, we’d like to learn more and see how we can help. Please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT when you have a moment, we’re eager to assist. Thanks!
So leaky! Not for those with heavy flow!
2 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Hi - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
These are nice and thin and a good length, but not for a heavy flow at all! Best for light flow or use with tampons, because one gush and it'll start to leak if you're standing up or sitting in the wrong position. I love how comfortable they are, but they are not absorbent enough for the average bleeder. The wings are also good because they don't pull and tear and partially stay stuck to undies like always did(why I changed). But it pools and drips, I'm not confident in wearing these out. Also the box design is a nice idea, but it never opens properly and is hard to close.

People were right. Leak from sides don't absorb AT ALL

nelies - 8 months ago
People are right. They did change it. I wanted to give this a try even with all the bad reviews everywhere and I kid you not: twice in a day I leaked from the sides. At one point it literally went down my leg, even when I was wearing black shorts. It doesn't absorb ANYTHING. It just goes right to the side. The first day mine was very light and it handled it. But as soon as it becomes normal to heavy watch out. What a waste of money I used to love these because of how soft they were compared to the other brand *ahem always. They're much softer too bad they just don't do the job AT ALL. Have to start looking for a different brand.

Me - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
The absorbency is terrible. I have a very heavy flow one day out of each cycle, and these pads cannot handle it! Within an hour I feel like I'm sitting in a puddle. The old ones may have been thick but at least they worked. I wish they would bring back the old style. The only reason I buy these is because they are one of the few brands I'm not allergic to. Come on kotex! You can do better than this!

What I don't understand is why the company is defending the NEW, bottom line is keep the old and if you want to do new charcoal or whatever-then do an additional NEW pad-don't take away an old pad. I am having to pay $65 to find the old pad of what I use to pay $28-REALLY-what happened to brand loyal and c.s., stop the company defending your new product-bring back the old and keep the new-but don't get rid of something that is fine, if you want no smell then people buy scented pads or use a scented feminine spray, plus the charcoal pads charcoal looks horrific in the pad

We're sorry to hear you’re disappointed in the change to our Balance Pads. With a charcoal-infused CushionCore, Balance Ultra Thin Pads can help neutralize odors as opposed to other brands, that use fragrance to mask it, without harsh ingredients and offer comfortable protection. If charcoal isn’t for you, we also offer our Clean & Secure Ultra Thin pads. They are tough on period leaks but gentle on skin and made with a cottony, soft-touch cover for extra comfort. You can learn more on our website. Thank you for your feedback.

Liz - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Really unhappy with these redesigned pads. They are not as absorbent as they were before, and did anyone actually want charcoal added to their pads? The fact that the company is defending the charcoal by saying it’s “plant-based” is just.. I mean, there are plenty of plant-based things you shouldn’t put in your underwear. Charcoal seems to be one of those things. I’m going to have to try other brands again, not happy.

Why do they always have to change something that was already working?!?! The pads feel stiff and I don’t think the charcoal helps. It may even be causing irritation. They don’t stick as well as they used to either. These were my go to and it upsets me that I may have to find something better. Please bring back the old ones!

Has there been research on how charcoal can effect the delicate skin down their and more? I liked the other pads better. These I feel uneasy about. They move a lot and the plastic to put the used pad back in doesn't stick at all. I hope I can return them and get something else that won't potentially irritate my skin or worse.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We want to assure that the charcoal used in our pads are 100% plant-based charcoal is sourced from wood. It is only present in the inner transfer layer which is placed underneath the liner, therefore, it is not absorbed by the body. The ingredients used in our products are reviewed and approved by board certified safety experts so you can trust our products are safe. We'd love to learn more about you experience and see how we can help. Please give us a call at 1-877-485-6839 Monday–Friday from 8am-5pm CT. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

JemmyJams - 2 years ago
The only thing I liked about this update is the length and extra back coverage. Other than that, it's a fail. The materials don't feel the same. The look and feel of this product is like that of Always pads, plasticy. And what's with the charcoal? Was there research proven that it is safe for a woman's intimate area? I'm returning this because I am honestly afraid of what these materials may do to me. I'm too sensitive to try new products.

Hey there, thanks reaching out with your feedback. We're disappointed to learn about your experience with our pads. We understand you concern and want to assure you that the new CushionCore is only infused with 100% plant-based charcoal, just enough to help neutralize odor. It is only present in the inner transfer layer which is placed underneath the liner of the pad, so it is not absorbed by the body. All of our products are also extensively tested by licensed toxicologists & dermatologists to be safe for intimate skin. That said, our Clean and Secure line may be of interest to you, as they do not contain charcoal. You can find more information about them here: https://www.ubykotex.com/en-us/products?collection=clean-secure. We hope this helps!
