How to #SaveTheUndies And Be Your Own Superhero! Saturday 21 February, 2015
Many thanks to U by Kotex for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to become an #UnderWarrior!
Look I am tired of being a woman sometimes you know! Let’s face it, we all know we go through so much more than we should, especially around that time of the month! I’ve talked about “that time of the month” on the blog before and about how the “P” word is still a taboo subject. Something so natural is so icky to talk about. Well I am talking about it and 90% of my readers are woman and should be able to relate again…this time I don’t want to just talk about the forbidden P word, I want to talk about what that P-word does to us.See this comic? This is not an exaggeration, this was me very recently – the girl on the right! OMG I literally went from happy-go-lucky Kiwi no care in the world…to life-sucks-sucking-the-life-out-of-me Kiwi! I wish it was cliche but it’s real. I wanted to literally curl up and die…my back hurt and I felt like a lazy mess. On top of that…I didn’t want to wear any of my cute clothes…and I definitely had to pull out the period panty stash! Oooo am I about to talk about the dirty little secret that all girl have but no one ever wants to bring up? Yup lets talk about P Panties! Yay doesn’t that sound exciting??!
Nothing is sexy about P panties we all know. Its the ones we had for at least 3+ years…and in some cases we once upon a time cute panties that are now dingy or overworn. Most of the time it’s the ones that cover the entire booty, so no cute lacy panties or your favorites with the cute designs on it. Oh and definitely not any pretty light colored panties. We wear the darkest or blandest colors…so unattractive! It’s all for a good reason…no one wants to ruin their pretty panties because of our monthly friend. We paid good money for those….and you know what is the worst? When Aunt Flo comes into town unexpectedly before you can wear your P panties. I am sure it has happened to us all…she made sure to make a surprise appearance the day you wanted to be a literal FANCY PANTS!You hate Aunt Flo sometimes…you really do…she is a hater. She hates for you to be happy, and she loves to ruin a good pair of pretty panties at your expense. Or even worst…Aunt Flo get’s through to our underwear and we are in contant fear that we have become our own Target shopping center if you know what I mean! Can you say #BUTTCHECK (I know you’ve asked your friends to do this for you before – another dirty secret). She needs to be stopped! It’s time to save your undies away from Aunt Flo!
So the dirty secret is out and you are wondering how can you save your panties each month? Well you can do that by becoming your own superhero! You can be just like Clark Kent who has under attire that transforms him from regular to superhero, except you don’t need a phonebooth to change your clothes. In fact, you can be an UNDERWARRIOR and the point of being this kind of hero is you can keep you clothes on…especially your pretty undies! With each superhero there is always a villian, and you have to protect your undies from Aunt Flo! So how do you do that? How do you become an underwarrior start saving your undies from Auntie Flo?
U by Kotex 3D Capture Core
The secret weapon is in the pad! Your maxi pads! Majority of the reason why Aunt Flo wins all the battles of destroying your underRoos is because most women do not have the right sanitary napkin to protect themselves. We all know at this point they aren’t all created equal at all. Some of them leak, some of them bunch up, some of them make you feel like you are wearing a diaper and feel dirty, and some are just not good in fighting the war against Aunt Flo at all. I was presented with U by Kotex® Clean Wear Pads with their new 3D Capture Core. The 3D capture core is the fighting weapon that captures everything to bring to the center…so no worries about leakage or other spillage.
I wore this during the time Aunt Flo came, and I can tell you all honestly I am an official Underwarrior! I beat her at her own game! Sure she comes every month trying to make a mess, but my dirty little secret is now a clean one! It’s already bad enough we have to keep our monthly visitor a secret from the world…no one wants to hear about the grossness of Mother Nature sending her evil sister to ruin our lives every month. Aunt Flo isn’t really an enemy on purpose…but she just makes us want to hide all of our panties and we shouldn’t have to feel like we might have to fear of permanant damage or throwing out a good pair of panties because of her. Just because we have a secret every month it doesnt have to be dirty…let alone “feel” dirty…it’s now our CLEAN little secret ladies!
I hope introducing you to these new pads will make you feel better about every woman’s dirty clean little secret. If you are a woman reading my blog, I feel like you’re my friend and I want to help. I am not a superhero to help you…you don’t need Superman to help you….you can help yourself! I’m glad I could start this conversation with you!

These look great… and colorful! Many of us ladies have this problem, and I’m glad that this product does what it says! Nobody likes dirty underwear, right? I like how the photos enhance a feminine hygiene product with candy. I can’t say it doesn’t make it look pleasant 🙂
Aww, the P word. I believe I have about 10 more years of it. Grrr. I definitely know “those panties”. I believe I’ve tried this product before. I’ve definitely used the Kotex brand before.
Wow, this is a great idea. It’s hard to wash underwear if it’s stained. Wearing maxi pads really helps especially at night. This also makes us move and dance around without worrying about leakage. We can wear light-colored bottoms and a cute skirt, too!
a very nice topic to talk about. I really love the way you express everything about periods etc. People use to react like its an awkword thing but its something totally natural. I mean every1 has a women in house.a mom a sis a wife who has the same little problems during this period of the month.i really like kotex. amazing product
Kotex was always my go-to pads during that horrible time of the month. My periods always made me so cranky. I don’t have them anymore, but Kotex was my BFF for a few days every month.
Aunt Flo is the bane of my existence lol! I have PCOS, so sometimes it is literally a fight not to just stay in bed during the week of the “flo.” That being said, I was sent samples of this new Kotex pack in an adorable “Save the undies” box and I am officially a Kotex’er for life. I used to buy whichever brand was on sale, but Kotex has clearly outperformed the other brands in my opinion! Love the graphic you used 🙂
Your blog post is engaging. I enjoy the way you touch and explain a sensitive topic. “saving the undies” aunt flo & u by kotex. love the graphic. Thanks for sharing.
I typically use Always liners with Tampons but I will give Kotex a try. This was a great post to touch a subject that none of us ladies like to talk about but yet every women can relate to.
So glad I am no longer visited by Aunto Flo, but my teen is and she is already her own superhero having used Kotex since she started her monthly visits.
These sound like some pretty fabulous liners for girls who need them. I got an IUD after having my daughter afew years ago so I have been period and all feminin products free for some time now 😉 whoever did all the marketing definitely managed to make the packaging Baylee cute :):) loving all the colors and designs :):)
I love how you wrote this post. I have always loved the packaging that Kotex uses. Something about seeing the cheery colors brightens my day. And I especially need a change in my mood during that time of the month!
I like how Pretty the made the Packaging … I’ve only used this Brand once ( It’s not in Jamaica ) and Its the best I’ve ever used. No leaking and it was soo light
I would totally have to agree with the comic, this is so true! I love the name of this campaign its creative and so on target for us women!! I love the Kotex brand and love how relatable they make their advertising to us.
Wow! Perfect timing – I just started the my dreaded “P” yesterday! Grrrr. I am a huge tampon fan – but for my lighter days I always use a thin pad. I love how these ones are so thin you don’t even notice them! Who likes feeling like they are wearing a bulky diaper between their legs? Not me! 🙂 Great post!
Great post! I always suffered with extreme discomfort during my menstruation. I hated doing anything! Never tried Kotex though, will definitely consider it now.
I hate this time of the month. I can relate to the P panties and I have a nice stash of them. However, I do have numerous colors but as you said, they all cover the tush. I wish we didn’t have this problem… such is life.
haha this is a great post! I totally do the whole “panty check” thing with my friends! I love U by Kotex and I’m glad I’ve seen others do this campaign!
a 3D capture core! wow so fancy lol. I am sure we have all had our horrible Aunt Flo experiences! Im glad techinology is making it more doable! I loved how you wrote this post!
Did I miss the period memo? Everyone has period posts, lol. Anyways, this is actually my favorite brand of pads to get. I love the packing too, weird I know. I get some crazy 2-3 week periods, pretty sure that’s not normal, my body hates me lol. I love this blog post!
Ha! This post was excellent, and I definitely had a few good laughs. Always (with wings of course) has been my go-to but I might just have to give these a try for the next go-round. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
That cartoon just had me rolling. Why because it is indeed that time of the month, my hair is in a bun and I’ve been sooooo annoyed all week. The great thing about this is I am definitely down with team #SaveTheUndies with this exact Kotex Ultra thin regular pads on deck LOL
See this comic? This is not an exaggeration, this was me very recently – the girl on the right!

I always prefer using Kotex. Their product works great!
Saving the undies is always a plus LOL! I also love using Kotex because their packaging is so cute!
Pregnant ladies can also use these all the time. Bodies are wierd and like to do different things!
I absolutely love Kotex and really love the liners. I just bought a box yesterday! Ha!
Kotex always has great products. It is the only brand that I will use.
I love these panty liners, they are the best! So slim and easy to throw in your purse!
My daughter likes the U by Kotex brand. They are the only brand she will use.
Thanks! I just got my sample. I love this product.
My period runs like clockwork, so I never really have issues, but I DO always use Kotex pads 🙂
Love your post. Glad aunt flo doesn’t mess with the undies.
These are a great liner to wear. It is thin and always stays in place.
Kotex has been my go to brand for years! I LOVE this campaign. U by Kotex is seriously a girls best friend <3
These look great… and colorful! Many of us ladies have this problem, and I’m glad that this product does what it says! Nobody likes dirty underwear, right? I like how the photos enhance a feminine hygiene product with candy. I can’t say it doesn’t make it look pleasant 🙂

Saving the undies is important 🙂 I always use Kotex products

I mean every1 has a women in house.a mom a sis a wife who has the same little problems during this period of the month.i really like kotex. amazing product

I’ve never used these before. And AF ALWAYS leaves me feeling defeated lol!!
Your blog post is engaging. I enjoy the way you touch and explain a sensitive topic. “saving the undies” aunt flo & u by kotex. love the graphic. Thanks for sharing.
I love U by Kotex. I use their tampons and sometimes panty liners. No need to hide those cute undies when Aunt flo comes!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has designated period undies. I will have to test these out.
I typically use Always liners with Tampons but I will give Kotex a try. This was a great post to touch a subject that none of us ladies like to talk about but yet every women can relate to.
So glad I am no longer visited by Aunto Flo, but my teen is and she is already her own superhero having used Kotex since she started her monthly visits.
I’m a Kotex girl for sure. I trust them and they never let me down.
I hate my Aunt Flo. She is a vicious beast, and she’s never nice to me. I’ve had my share of run-ins with her that didn’t end well. =(
Haha, this is one of those things I do not want to acknowledge exists. I just hide during that time of month when I possibly can.
I hate chick! But, I do love Kotex. Itss one of my favorite brands.
She and I have had our battles. One of the few things I look forward to about getting older is telling her goodbye. 🙂
this could not be more true. how many underwears have I thrown away bc of this issue. I need better protection.
These sound like some pretty fabulous liners for girls who need them. I got an IUD after having my daughter afew years ago so I have been period and all feminin products free for some time now 😉 whoever did all the marketing definitely managed to make the packaging Baylee cute :):) loving all the colors and designs :):)
I love how you wrote this post. I have always loved the packaging that Kotex uses. Something about seeing the cheery colors brightens my day. And I especially need a change in my mood during that time of the month!
Aunt Flo can definitely be hater! Those unexpected visits are the absolute worst.
Those 5 pounds feel like 20! I sent hubby to the store the other day and he came back with adult diapers, lol. I will totally try to save the undies!
Gotta save those panties! I love the packaging, it’s so pretty.
I like how Pretty the made the Packaging … I’ve only used this Brand once ( It’s not in Jamaica ) and Its the best I’ve ever used. No leaking and it was soo light
I would totally have to agree with the comic, this is so true! I love the name of this campaign its creative and so on target for us women!! I love the Kotex brand and love how relatable they make their advertising to us.
This is my preferred brands, they hold up even on the heaviest days.
Bwahahaha! That little cartoon cracked me up. Thankfully, I don’t have to deal with Flo too much anymore.
This is a great campaign! Yes, I have sadly been defeated too many times!
These pretty pantyliners ALMOST make dealing with a period easier. I’m a menstrual cup wearer but I still keep these in my drawers for guests. 🙂
Kotex has always been a great brand. Thank you for sharing them and this campaign!
That’s such a funny comic. Aunt Flo can be pretty disruptive mentally and physically.
Wow! Perfect timing – I just started the my dreaded “P” yesterday! Grrrr. I am a huge tampon fan – but for my lighter days I always use a thin pad. I love how these ones are so thin you don’t even notice them! Who likes feeling like they are wearing a bulky diaper between their legs? Not me! 🙂 Great post!
Very cute campaign for Kotex. Need to save the undies!
Kotex makes some great products – always what I purchase!
Lol, I love the video of Emma Stone! Classic!
Great post! I always suffered with extreme discomfort during my menstruation. I hated doing anything! Never tried Kotex though, will definitely consider it now.
I hate this time of the month. I can relate to the P panties and I have a nice stash of them. However, I do have numerous colors but as you said, they all cover the tush. I wish we didn’t have this problem… such is life.
Kotex is indeed a great brand, but I gotta be honest and say I’m so glad I haven’t had to worry about this kind of thing for about 4 years now!
I love the packaging, it’s so colorful! Thanks for the advice!
I love this new Kotex campaign!! The comic strip it has made me laugh every time I have seen it.
this is such a taboo subject and i never understood why cause all ladies have to deal with it at some point. i do like the way you wrote this post.
That’s a cute campaign! and this is a good brand!
Well, back in the day I use to use Kotex also. It was the only brand I ever trusted. Definitely a cute campaign. Thanks for sharing.
Gurrrrl, I’ve NEVER used these before as I’m a ALWAYS kinda chic but the packaging along make me wanna switch!
haha this is a great post! I totally do the whole “panty check” thing with my friends! I love U by Kotex and I’m glad I’ve seen others do this campaign!
a 3D capture core! wow so fancy lol. I am sure we have all had our horrible Aunt Flo experiences! Im glad techinology is making it more doable! I loved how you wrote this post!
Did I miss the period memo? Everyone has period posts, lol. Anyways, this is actually my favorite brand of pads to get. I love the packing too, weird I know. I get some crazy 2-3 week periods, pretty sure that’s not normal, my body hates me lol. I love this blog post!
I dread the visit from Aunt Flow! When I am not pregnant, I use U by Kotex. Great feminine product!
Ha! This post was excellent, and I definitely had a few good laughs. Always (with wings of course) has been my go-to but I might just have to give these a try for the next go-round. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Aunt Flo is a hater isn’t she? I never seemed to have the right items on hand when she makes her appearance.
I can really relate to this! Kotex has saved me from many embarrassing period moments, thank goodness!
It’s such a memorable campaign! Love being an underwarrior! Easy A is hilarious too.
I usually use Carefree but I’m definitely going to have to try Kotex now!
I love Kotex! Especially their tampons. Sounds like these pads will definitely get the job done.
Love this campaign! A fun way to look at a crampy topic.
Your post is so true! Good info to keep in mind.
You know, I can’t believe I haven’t tried the U line yet. I do love Kotex!
I really like the way technology has made feminine protection smaller and more efficient.
LMAO! Yes! That is so true i just went thru exactly that just recently and I have U by kotex in my bathroom! LOVE it! Great review!!
That cartoon just had me rolling. Why because it is indeed that time of the month, my hair is in a bun and I’ve been sooooo annoyed all week. The great thing about this is I am definitely down with team #SaveTheUndies with this exact Kotex Ultra thin regular pads on deck LOL
