The U by Kotex Security Ultra Thin Pads Long are super-slim with more length for heavy flow, feature 3D Capture Core to quickly draw in and lock away wetness, are breathable with a cottony Soft Touch cover and have a unique wing shape for a secure fit. The U by Kotex Security Ultra Thin Overnight Pads are the brand's most absorbent pad yet^Ɨ, featuring an extra absorbent zone in the back to help stop leaks and uniquely shaped wings to keep the pad secure in place when you sleep.
