U by Kotex Balance Ultra Thin Pads with Wings, Overnight Absorbency, 38 Count

I previously used always ultra thin size 4 and 5 for overnight use. They are not soft and irritated my skin. I threw those away when I got these Kotex ultra thin. I purchased the Kotex ultra thin overnight (orange labeling) and ultra thin extra heavy overnight (purple labeling). They are extremely absorbent and comfortable to wear. The top layer of the pad is soft and not scratchy like always. The ultra thin extra heavy overnight is extremely long so I will most likely only use them on my heaviest night. Otherwise I’ll be using the regular ultra thin overnight. I also purchased a box of the Kotex ultra thin overnight (regular, not extra heavy, she said the extra heavy was too long for her liking) for my teen daughter. She says they are very comfortable to wear and she is picky. They work well for her for both overnight and school days so she can have extra coverage to assure no leaks. They are thin and comfortable enough to where they don’t bother her during the school day. She prefers to have extra coverage during the school day just in case she can’t reach a bathroom in time. When you are wearing these pads you can seriously hardly feel them. They can handle a full overnight sleep even on heavy days. My teenager sleeps for like 10 hours straight and they hold up great, she says. We will be ordering the Kotex ulta thin “heavy” (green labeling) next to have an option for more moderate to light days. Like I mentioned my teenager daughter and I had been using always ultra thin sizes 2, 4 and 5 for ages and we also tried always infinity size 2 and 5. These Kotex are way better than the always mentioned. The Kotex stay in place and absorb better. The always infinity are a weird shape and shift around and the always ulta thins are not even nearly as comfortable as Kotex. If you have sensitive skin like we do I encourage you to try these Kotex pads. We will be switching over all our pads and not going back to always. You can’t beat the price for the quality. We tried some expensive Cora pads and they were soft but the quality was meh. Not worth it. Kotex wins hands down for quality, comfort, absorption, staying in place and value.

These are really nice pads and control any smells really well thanks to the charcoal area. They are a bit long, but that can be a plus for some women. The next size smaller is too small for my tastes.

Buying pads for my daughter is like trying to select a royal throne—there are standards, people. Texture must be soft but not weird, wings must stay put (apparently some "flap like sad little flags"), and absorbency must handle the apocalypse, but feel like nothing's there.Enter these U by Kotex Balance Overnight Pads. She took one look and said, "These don’t look annoying." High praise. After a trial run, she declared, "These are actually good." That’s practically a love letter coming from a teenager.They stay in place, handle heavy nights like champs, and don’t feel like you're wearing a mattress. The wings aren’t floppy, they’re committed. No leaks, no complaints, no eye-rolls. And if my picky daughter gives them the nod, trust me—they’re worth it.Mom victory unlocked. Stocking up immediately before she changes her mind.

These have great protection overnight with no worries. One of our favorite products!!

As described. Trye to size. Comfortable. Reasonably priced.

I've always used Always brand. But, I saw this & wanted to try it based on the advertised & reviewed length. I like long pads, but I don't want bulky pads. They make so many different versions, it's high time they developed one like this. It's 15.5" end to end (14.5" padding) length × 3.3" width × 2 cm thick (very thin). It still feels like the same protection as we'd get from an overnight thin pad (thinking of Always #5), but better coverage with this Kotex pad. Wings are positioned at the 4"-6.5" (2.5" wings) point; AND at the 12.25"-14.25" (2" wing) point on length of pad. I actually flip the length, so the charcoal area is at the rear (literally). The top wings are spread on panties instead of wrapping around them. Maybe they were made for that because those wings are padded (unlike other end wings), and width expands to 6" at that end.I wanted to love these. The end twists & bunches, and sticks to my skin, causing discomfort & forcing me to make constant adjustments.I'll use what I bought, but I won't repurchase. If they could make this size in flex-foam I'd be very happy.

I’m that weird person who will text my friends to recommend pads that I like and my friends got an excited text about these ones included a picture of me holding an open pad next to my face to show how long they are.They don’t seem to be as absorbent as Always overnight pads but absorbency wasn’t what I was after here. I have always had issues with the blood running up my rear and leaving a stain just above where the longest pads I could find stop. I don’t have that trouble with these. The are so so long. They even have wings on the back to prevent leaks off the side!These aren’t daytime pads unless you’re desperate because they feel like wearing a thin diaper but they a perfect for sleeping in!

My previous favorite overnight pad was from a different brand and they suddenly stopped making them. I was so happy to discover these. They are so thin but work so well.
