Kotex Pads

I have recently been stocking up on personal hygiene and sanitary protection as I seemed to have run out of everything at once... I know this is an embarrassing subject but it is a part of Mother Nature so these products have to be bought so I think these types of reviews are very useful to others who use sanitary protection :) I bought these 'Kotex Normal' at my local Wilkinson and paid a pound on special offer, I got 16 ultra thin pads for that. Made in the UK these pads come packaged in a plastic white wrapper with each towel packed inside it's own cute flower covered plastic wrapper that you simply peel the body shaped pad off when ...  Read the complete review

Since starting my periods I have tried many different brands but when I came across Kotex I stayed put. I am in the unfortunate position of not being able to use tampons. These were my first choice but on consulting my doctor I became aware that I would run a great risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome if I used them. So for my own well being I stuck to towels. Kotex are soft and very forgiving. Even on my worst days a medium flow pad works where other heavy flow pads have failed. I feel comfortable all day and due to the way they are designed you really don't have to buy night towels as they work well day or night. I can say nothing bad about these ...  Read the complete review

Following the birth of our daughter Rebekah and after my blood loss became less heavy I tried "Bodyform normal" much to my disappointment, but that's another op already done. Any way I seen these "Kotex Ultra Thin Super" towels in my local chemist priced at just 99p for a pack of 12, at that price I gave them a try and if they were no good then 99p wasn't much money to have wasted. They had other ones to choose from but as with my blood loss heavy one day and light the next I thought it to best get these just in case. The pack they come in is surprisingly small for its quantity of 12 pads. The pads them self are just 3mm ...  Read the complete review

Kotex products were first introduced as part of Kimberley Clarke’s in 1920 and the word Kotex came from two words “Cotton + Texture” hence the word Kotex. Kotex pads are made from the same raw materials that paper is made from which are wood cellulose fibres but Kotex fluff them up to make them absorbent and soft. The outer cover is made from polypropylene which helps reduce leakage. I first started using the Night Time pads after my son was born I was buying Mothercare maternity pads which I found to be useless and it was my sister who said to try these. The packaging has changed a few times over the years and today we can recognise ...  Read the complete review

When I first started my periods my mum offered to buy me my pads, but I thought that I'd have to buy them on my own at some point, so I might as well start now. As I walked down the street to the local chemist I felt quite grown up. That confidence vanished the moment I walked into the shop. I had thought that there would be like one brand and I'd buy it and that would be it. But the shelf was crammed with different brands and types. Bodyform Ultra Normal, Bodyform Ultra Super, Bodyform Goodnight, Kotex, Always, with wings, without wings and so on. Not only was I faced with all this jargon I couldn't make a head nor tail out of but also, 4 middle aged ...  Read the complete review
