I’m joining U by Kotex Save The Undies campaign by rekindling those cringe-worthy (not to mention awkward) encounter with Flo for the first time.
And spreading the word that in fact, there is hope with their newest 3D Capture Core feature so you never have to say goodbye to your favorite undergarments or clothing! (pssst… there’s freebie stuff for you below)
The First Encounter…
Unannounced, of course, Flo finally appeared in my life for the first time in 1998. I was still 13, for goodness sake. And how convenient (not), it had to be during our summer supposed-to-be-fun vacation at one of our relative’s place. Well, not anymore.
And the worst part, no one ever told me that leaking is this Flo’s forte. Imagine how many of my undies perished that day that my Nana had to buy me extras? Or the state I was in? I laugh about it now, but at that time, I was a miserable adolescent girl who’d rather not want to hit puberty… ever.
Because, let’s see, it’s not only frustrating, uncomfortable, and don’t forget painful (!), add mood swings and breakouts in the mix and that send your confidence into the abyss!
That Awkward Moment…
Back then, I didn’t even know what a pad was or how the heck were you supposed to wear it? And I was too self-conscious to even step out of my room for the first time. Cue… my brother who must have felt mortified when I gave him the task to be a good big brother and buy me a pad, quick! Talking about how Flo makes things awkward, huh?
Forget about wings or the ultra thin ones, apparently, all he could find then were maxi pads and super thick ones, thicker than those cleaning sponges we use to scrub the floor. Geez.
But despite the size, none of these scrub-looking pads were able to protect me, my undies, or help me with my discomfort from Flo’s ferocity. As a matter of fact, I felt worst!
There Is Hope!
Years later, here comes U by Kotex Ultra Thin Pads to the rescue! With a mission to save your undies and mine for good because it appears millions are ruined every year because of ordinary pads!
Pheww, I thought I was the only one mourning over my favorite undies during that time of the month!
I’ve always been a big fan of this brand since I discovered this in my college years and I’m glad that they’re introducing their new 3D Capture Core design, which quickly draws in and locks away wetness.
And since us girls should feel comfortable, U by Kotex pads features super soft sides and uniquely shaped wings for a secure fit. No more leaks mean no more constantly looking over my shoulder for messy situation check!
Flo is now less of my worries. Confidence is on the high and I still have fun even when she’s around.
