U by Kotex

So this is a bit of a personal post, in that this seems to be a moot subject for so many. And it doesn't need to be... and shouldn't be. But I digress.

I'm talking about feminine products. I used to be very brand loyal to one tampon brand that had a sleek, flushable cardboard applicator. Then they stopped making them for some reason. Once I realized is was no longer being made, I literally went out and bought as many boxes as I could find to stash... about 6 months worth. But then I wandered aimlessly. The 'big brand' out there I've never liked because of the way it 'grows' during absorption. Which, in my opinion, was why it was more apt to leak. I tried the kind without an applicator, you know.. eco-conscious. Could never quite be okay with that... any then a 'new brand' came out. But it wasn't really a new brand... it was a partial rebrand for the younger generation. U by Kotex.

Now, I was no longer in that younger crowd, but I liked what I saw, so I tried them. And I liked them. A lot. It did everything my old brand did, minus the flushable applicator. But it had a 'clickable' version, making it smaller and easier to put in my pocket. Score. Years (I think) later, I still use them exclusively, and not they have a very smart campaign going... "Save the Undies!" This suits them well because, well, this brand does that! I never have leakage issues. And if you go to their website, you can even get a sample. Which I highly recommend.
