The bright colours and packaging of these certainly draw you in when staring at all the products and options on the shelves these days. They are a pretty good tampon, as far as absorbency and non leakage goes. However during my 'lighter' days I find them very hard to insert and often they just won't sit right and feel a bit uncomfortable at times. They have a tendency to bunch up if you're a bit rough with them The boxes are hard to open without ripping them and if throwing in a bag they'd end up everywhere so I was glad to see the resealable packets they now have. Overall they are nothing too special and do not stand out against any other brands unless you really like the cool packaging.

U by Kotex Tampons Review
Overall rating from 514 reviews so far:
Would use it again?
Did it do what it said it would?
Would recommend it to a friend?
U by Kotex Tampons come in a variety of absorbencies to suit different flows. They are designed to give you maximum protection during your flow and work by expanding and adapting to your body’s shape.
U by Kotex Tampons are super comfy to wear and easy to use. Some girls find tampons harder to insert towards the very end of their period when the flow is much lighter. Inserting a tampon at this time can be uncomfortable. U by Kotex Tampons have a slim design and come with a slender tip because, let’s face it, if you’re suffering period pain and all the things that come along with your period, you want things to be as easy as possible.
Available in Mini, Regular and Super

U by Kotex
Tips: The resealable packs are good for keeping in the handbag but if you have quite a light flow you may struggle with them, even the slim ones are tricky

U Kotex Tampons
I don't really have a huge preference for brands, I generally buy whichever brand is on sale. But the thing that stands out about this brand is the colorful packaging. It's nice but not really something I look for in tampons. I do find the small boxes handy to have in my purse in case I need them unexpectedly. The wrappers easily come off. The ones of this brand that I like the most are the applicator ones just for the convenience, it's easier to use and if you have long nails it's feels better then using your fingers not to mention less messy.
Tips: Stock up when it's on sale. Put one box in your purse and one in the bathroom. If you have long nails I would recommend trying the applicator ones.

Good but could improve
For me I think you could improve on the sizing for baby mummas. Other than that the packaging is eye catching colourful and vibrant also very affordable price which is the reason why I brought these .
Tips: The sizes should be a little bigger for mothers who have had babies,

Cute packaging
The only reason i was willing to try these was because of the cute packaging. Over all i didn't like the feeling of them.

Pretty but not comfy
I bought the u tampons because of the fun packaging, but unfortunately was disappointed in them. I didn't find them comfortable to insert and they 'fluffed' a bit. However, they did offer really great protection, no leakage or even feeling like there might be leakage.

More Suited for younger women
I didn't find these the best despite the different flows always hard to get into position and would find often coming out

Not as good as other products
These tampons are okay, reasonably absorbent and easy to use. Not as good as menstrual cup products, which hold a lot more and you don't have to worry about crinkly wrappers etc as with tampons

I've used these a couple of times and found them to be a bit harder to remove and not as nice to insert. A plus is the bright colours they come in make it easy to find in handbags.
