U by Kotex Balance Overnight Pads with Wings, Ultra Thin, 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.

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.

Okay listen—they are comically huge. Like, even folded up in the box they're about 50% longer than the Always Infinity 5, my usual go-to. But I am a big lady (size 18) with a heavy period (fibroids, so fun) and I slept through the night last night. These covered the back of my underwear, came up high enough in the front, and are extremely absorbent. Five stars, I'm not sleeping in other pads ever again.

Love them

These pads are a total game-changer! They’re ultra-thin, yet super absorbent, and I love the wings for extra security. I feel comfortable and protected all night long, even on the heaviest days. The soft fabric is gentle on the skin, and I don’t have to worry about leaks. With 38 pads in a pack, it’s a great value, and I can trust them to keep me dry and confident. Definitely my go-to choice for overnight protection!

Holds up well for someone with really heavy bleeding (endometriosis or PCOS), but the thick version is the best.

Omg I have never been one to use Kotex ever was always an Always girl until they kept messing with the formula and I started breaking out…so I switched to cloth pads and period underwear…i happened to be traveling and mother nature called and this brand was all they had in stock and it did a good job of holding me…well now I have officially switched and have never and I repeat never been happier….i stay dry and have zero I repeat zero smell…Now lets talk about this overnight pad for any of my sisters who sleep with two and three underwear and a pair of pj shirts just so you are not washing the sheets in the morning this is the pad for you…the sucker goes all the way up the back of your underwear and catches all of the sneaky runners trying to escape to make you do laundry…it fans out and covers your bum…i finally get to sleep in just my undies like I don't have my period free and comfortable and not waking up every five minutes to check…Thank you to whomever designed this pad cause you had me in mind. See the difference!!! Thank you thank you thank you

Great
