You need tampons, theres no two ways about it.
U by Kotex are designed with young women in mind. They are bright, happy, funky colours, packages in a modern fashion.
The 'last line of defence' concept WORKS (goodbye, leakage paranoia!) and they come in a range of absorbencies to suit every woman.
Often these are on special (or even free, U by Kotex often have giveaways on their website!) and even at full price are among the cheaper options - but don't cut corners on quality.
These do the job great and I love the cute colourful packaging. They are really easy to unwrap too, you don't have to make a whole lot of rustling around noise to open them. I think the "last line of defence" is a bit of a gimmick and it doesn't seem to work in my opinion. Will keep purchasing these :)
