U by Kotex Balance Ultra Thin Pads with Wings, Regular Absorbency, 50 Count (Packaging May Vary)

Perfect for the preteen or woman in your life! They hold a good amount and still are thin enough to be discrete.

My girlfriend’s “who ha” likes them. She said not the heavy ones but regular.

I switched to this brand because I started to experience irritation and discomfort with another brand. These are skin-friendly with no feeling of "ants in the pants". It has a comfortable fit and design that makes sure that the pad is discreet under clothing.

I don't normally leave reviews for these types of products due to the variances many people can experience.. but I will try and give you a reason why I tried and now love these! These are now my GO-TO!~I will start by saying for the majority of my life I used homemade pads due to family history of TSS and heavy bleeding. However, I was lucky to not have heavy bleeding compared to my other family members with cycles. Little did I know that not everyone bled the same as everyone else. (Ignorance) My grandmothers and mothers before me swore up and down that I had to wear super heavy padding to keep all the blood soaked and to reduce smell.. so I lived that way for over 25 years.Recently a boyfriend of mine bought these at the store when I asked him if he had any pads in the house. (He was sweet enough to go grab some.) I mentioned to him I didn't bleed much and that I wanted something called regular. (He bought regular, but I picked up the heavy recently from Amazon - hence this review.)I had never in my life had a more comfortable experience with a pad. I was only exposed to homemade pads that were thick, stinky, uncomfortable, but also wash/reusable. Of course pads were made available to me during my life, but they were very itchy and quite honestly not as comfortable as the homemade ones. Until U by Kotex!I have a common occurrence of blood coming forwards and upwards towards my tummy. My blood does not go towards my butt and everything seems to pool forwards. I found that these pads have a spade shaped design that is a little bigger on one end than the other and its perfect to cover my entire upper pubic area.Pros:- Charcoal is ABSOLUTELY a must now. I can't bring myself to say there is no smell, but there is definitely a FRESHER experience by having this feature.- Regular and Heavy both FEEL the same on. You would think a heavy design would feel thicker? Nope! It's just as thin, but more absorbent. I tend to use 3-5 during my whole cycle of 4-7 days. (Of course that is preference.)- The wings are thin and comfortable, but easily wrapped around most standard cuts I have worn. I do not recommend slim/bikini designs of panties during use.- Cute packaging, but not needed to use.- THIN. THIN. THIN. It's so nice to not feel these ball up in your underwear, but feel protected.- Compact box.- NO LEAKS (yet) on my gusset. I am not ruining pairs of underwear with use due to.. WINGS.- Great from start to finish. (Of cycle/time.)- Great for forward flowing blood.- Decent size, but also I am a taller woman so I may have a "longer" region for it to fit perfectly.Cons:- The value is debatable. They are the most expensive on the shelves, but really work.- The pad can come off the wrapping when you unwrap it. Be careful! I would say take your time to really place this correctly.- The adhesive on the wings is absolutely ruined if you accidentally touch it to its self. (Mostly)- Not a QUICK process to place it on your underwear - however taking your time will be the best course of action and then its SMOOTH from then on.

I’ve been using these Balance ultra-thin pads for a while, and I’m really happy with them! They’re incredibly comfortable and don’t feel bulky at all, yet they still provide solid protection. The wings help keep everything in place, so I don’t have to worry about shifting throughout the day. The regular absorbency is perfect for my lighter days, and I love that they’re soft and breathable. Definitely a great choice for everyday use!

My favorite pads, they stick so well but you root have to wrestle them off.

Good

Only pads I'll use! Comfortable, long, and great absorption. Plus it has wings!
