    You know, this company made a very smart move. They made the coolest and colorful-est packaging, that I just have to start buying them. I am a sucker for pretty packaging, so count me in that these are cool.

    I am going to join the movement. I believe our daughters deserve to be empowered any way they can in such a bleak world.

    I bought these today relaly excited because they looked super pretty in the packaging… i HATE THEM! the application stick thats supposed to slide out of the tampon to insert get stuck and wont come out, and when it finally does, it falls out. its supposed to click in place, but if you move it just the slightest (and you will when you insert), its clicks off. ugh anyway, im just mad cause they made the hype about it so awesome and they super suck

      I have the tampax compak pearls, and from what you’re describing they are almost exactly the same.
      If you move it a tad bit it falls off, but I learned to live with them. It’s like second nature to me. I think it fell off once while using them. And that was today. You just gotta take it slowly. You can’t rush it, or it will fall out.
      But this is based upon a different tampon, so the U by Kotex could be different.

      Oh, and does anyone know why most of the brands end in “x”
      I.E. Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, etc.

      LOL. The commercial just came on as typing this. The commercials are funny:
      “Don’t all these angles make me seem dynamic? Now I’m going to tell you something. Buy these tampons because I’m wearing white pants.”

    Kim you must have a defective batch or either ur just not using them right. They are awsome there super small and portable(great for people still in school) and easy to use. you have to pull them until the bottom clicks and if you do it right you shoulden

    I just bought the overnight pads by ubykotex. They are really thin but seem to be able to deal with my heavy period flow. It almost feels like I am not wearing a pad. I think I like them. I would just make sure I’m wearing tight panties.

    These products are great. I use the tampons during the day and I use the overnight pads at night. The tampons are very well made. NOTHING like Tampax Compak Pearl! The Tampax Compak tampons litterally break into your hands. U By Kotex tampons don’t at all. They are very sturdy. I’ve used the products for two cycles so far. I plan on using them and nothing else.

    The only problem I’ve come across with U by Kotex is that they leak, sometimes right after using them. But other then that they are awesome! And the colors make it so much more fun.
