The first thing that drew me to these pads was the packaging - bright, colourful and cute. But of course as we all know, some things can be decorated as much as they like and still be a dud. Thankfully, these pads aren't like that at all!
They don't shift about, the glue isn't horrible and I haven't had any leakage problems while using them.
I'm also very happy with the price of them - feminine hygiene products can certainly add up after a while, so I'm glad these are relatively cheap. I won't use any other brand!
I was lucky enough to get a pack full of samples from almost the whole range of U by Kotex & I have to say I am a big fan. I love how the pad really does curve to your body. That is always the bonus with thin pads but just because it's really thin doesn't mean it can't do the job. I have always preferred pads that have wings because I just feel like I have extra protection from leakage (which personally is always my biggest fear) plus I like how the wings give it that extra grip to stay in place when wearing. The extra absorbent core is the real winner here making me feel safer on slightly heavier days or when I might be stuck somewhere unable to freshen up. I also quite like the black packaging with a splash of colour. Not that it changes the effectiveness of the product at all but I does make it feel kinda classy.
