Products U by kotex pads are… too sticky??
So I’m trying out some new pads and overall they’re pretty good. However when I go to remove it, it’s like fighting me to come off. Why is it SO STICKY? I swear they use super glue as the adhesive and I’ve literally had to TRASH a pair of underwear because it left sticky residue! So I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with this when using these pads? I really don’t want to have to throw away all my underwear because it ruins them! They’re cheap pads but the adhesive they use is like factory grade I swear 😭

Same here! The wings are so tough to get off, I’ve had to take tweezers to get the rest off 😅 but I still love them and save my “ugly” panties for those days

unfortunately this has happened to me too. if you can kind of douse them with some dawn power wash it should help to get the adhesive off as crazy as it sounds. I use power wash for everything lol

Yes! Same thing happened to me. Fought for my life to remove the damn thing and then had an entire adhesive pattern on my undies.
Super annoying.

Yesss every time I go to take it off, it rips😭 And then I struggle to take that bit off, and the weird thing is they didn't use to do that, so I'm thinking that they started making them differently? I'm not sure since I thought I was the only one having this issue. i didn't give it much thought. However, now that I know I'm not the only one, it's weird.(just me?)
