I have to admit–I’ve always been kind of squeamish about my period. It’s not something I like to talk about publicly. Although that’s improved over the past few years, especially with being a college student–I still get shy when I have to talk about it or when I have to grab tampons to take to the bathroom with me. Luckily, the Kotex samples sent to me, U by Kotex Sleek Tampons, made my latest period a lot easier.
Super cute box for super easy to use tampons!
Here’s some quick facts about the tampons I was sent:
- U by Kotex Sleek Tampons have a no slip grip for “just right” placement and a smooth tip for easy insertion
- A full-sized tampon that’s easy to hold on to for “just right” placement
- Slim size for your comfort
- Available in Regular, Super and Super Plus absorbencies
As a reporter, recreational dancer, and a runner, I often find myself running–quite literally–between the different parts of my life. I try to always be prepared for all situations–including an unexpected period. This means I’m completely dependent on always storing tampons in every single one of my bags–without taking up too much room. U by Kotex Tampons were perfect for that. I threw some in my bag for work as well as my dance bag and forgot about it until it was that “time of the month.”
Some tampons stored inside my ballet/PT/everything else bag, ready to go!
My period struck on one of my busiest days–Thursday. I have both work and ballet, which means I’m out of the house from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and 6:30pm to 9:00 pm, with just a short break in between. Occasionally, I even fill that time with a quick run too, so I get all of my stuff ready to go the night before.
My sample box came with regular tampons in two different colors: green and purple.
I loved using these–they were super easy to use (the packaging rips open super easily) and offered the perfect amount of protection for super active and busy day. It was also super easy to discreetly pull one of them out of my bag and bring with me to the bathroom no matter where I was.
