U by Kotex Super Ultrathin with Wings
11 reviews
Adhesive is so important for pads, and U by Kotex was once top tier for that. Sadly they've let their quality control slip. Due to medical conditions my periods are very heavy and often occur more than once a month. I started buying U by Kotex when Libra's quality tanked and the pad staying in place kept me buying it. They dropped the amount of… Read more
adhesive (or changed the type) a while back which has led me to only buy sporadically when my other brand was sold out. Unfortunately my hopes that this brand would return to the quality they were once known for is dead in the water. If anything, every time I've purchased them they've gotten worse. Now they're not even as good as the brand you get from The Reject Shop.
I hope it was a man who did QA testing on this because if it was a woman we have to blame malice rather than ignorance.
I've since gone back to Libra who so far seem to have fixed the quality of their products. Let's hope that holds out. It's hard enough being a woman in this economy I don't need to throw my money away.
They cause skin irritation – Used them for a few years but no longer they cause skin irritation terribly. Not sure what chemical is in it but just awful. Can no longer use them. The material is absorbent though Show details
My favourite brand – Been using these for a few years and love them. Especially the Goodnights. My flow is quite heavy and regular and they absorb it very well. They don't bunch up or make noise while you walk. I just wish they weren't so expensive. The only negative. Show details
Broken packaging – I always buy products from kotex but this time when I bought ultra thins pads, the packaging inside was broken. Looks like someone has used it. Very Disappointing. Not happy Show details
The last thing you need at an already inconvenient time! – These do not come off easy and they stick to your underwear. This wasnt an isolated occurence and it was very frustrating. Would not buy again. I spent some time picking the sticky residue off 1 pair, but when it happened a second time I just threw them in the bin, very annoying!
Great – these pads are very good they do me really well I do not necessarily have a super flow I am a regular but I use these so that is a problem for super flow people out there you many need to use a different brand or try out the overnight range.
not the best – These pads are not that good for me, but maybe it's just me. The colour wrapper are all the same for regular, super and overnight ultra thins - hot pink. This is sometimes a bit annoying as i get mixed up, even though there is a size difference. The wrapper is very noisy and the white peeling tab often comes off when peeling. These pads are… Read more
very comfortable, but i don't feel protected and i don't trust them when i'm on a heavy flow. Theyre not wide enough, and sticks to my body when removing the pad. Comfy, soft pricey, not wide enough,
One of the best products that I have tried so far! – These pads are overall for everything needed are amazing! They are 'Ultrathins' and Supers and this pad lives upto it's name. They are very discreet and it feels like nothing is there! They also have wings which help keep the pad in place and it absorbs fast and efficiently. Overall, these pads are in my Top 3 for every month's use and I would buy… Read more · 1
them regularly because they are an amazing product! Ultrathin, Discreet, Amazing for heavy flow, inexpensive The wrapper however sometimes does rip, loud when opening
Bad – I wouldnt feel confident using these on all days I need protection. They are pretty to keep in your bag, and I have noticed that most of the designs are fairly on the dark side, like dark purple or black, so it makes them a bit hard to find inside my handbag. They are good enough for the first few days, but I dont use these overnight because they… Read more
arent long or wide enough. These come in a variety of pretty designs and look really appealing. They are really thin, but for me, not wide enough for heavy days. They arent the correct size for me for heavy days, so I dont buy these regularly.
Good – U is the only brand I can use that does not irritate my skin, they are comfortable and flexible and stick well to underwear. I love the bright packaging! Comfortable, absorbent, flexible, thin, the material does not stick to your skin. Not much really, other than the price, but the price is average for these types of products.
OK – A decent product, but for the cost there are brands that I prefer. To give U their credit, it could have just been a bad pack. I've been a big fan of U products so thought I would give these a shot, having enjoyed using their tampons and having found them of a high quality. The fabric on these was thin and moved well as promised and they were… Read more
delightfully thin. The wings sit a bit oddly on these, it didn't feel like the pad was really designed with the actual design of women's underware in mind! Althought they are very flexibile as promised I did find the glue from the strip was clingy and resulted in it peeling off against the underware.
