Let’s get down and dirty today! Actually that is what I want to talk about today.  I have found the way to #SaveTheUndies! Yes, I said it. Save the Undies!  You all know what I am talking about.  All girls get anxious about what pair of undies they are going to wear during their periods.  No one ever wants to ruin their nice, sexy undies, and that is why we dig through our undies drawer and have those old, worn, and torn undies that we wear in shame.

I know that I am ready for some confidence in my step during that time of the month.  I have been battling with losing all confidence during my visits from Aunt Flo ever since my first time.  I always get worried about those little accidents when the products I am using fail me and ruin that super cute pair of undies.  I bet I am also not the only one who has ruined a really pretty summer skirt or pair of shorts because of dear Aunt Flo’s visit.

Recently my confidence has been completely restored!  How, you might ask.  Well, let me tell you.  I recently got the chance to sample U by Kotex® CleanWear® Pads Regular. (Thank you U by Kotex® for sponsoring this confidence boost!)  It is the new 3D Capture Core that really boosts my confidence.  This core is a one of a kind center that helps to lock away wetness and help stop leaks.

It is thanks to U by Kotex® that I am able to confidently wear my favorite undies when Aunt Flo comes to visit! #SaveThUndies!  The best part of all of this is that I get to share my confidence with you because right now you can get a free sample of U by Kotex®.  Go and Save the Undies!

I would like to take a moment to thank U by Kotex® for sponsoring this discussion, while also saving my undies once and for all!

Maxim… Soft, Safe, & Natural Feminine Hygiene Product Review

by 1 Comment

I reached out to Maxim to perform a feminine hygiene product review a sampling of their products because I love that thy are all 100% Certified Natural and Organic Cotton.  As people know on here I have been trying to be as eco-friendly as I can and love when I find a great new product.  The idea of having a softer, natural product that I am using just makes sense when it comes to pads and tampons since the skin down there is so sensitive.

Check out what Maxim has to say about itself before I continue on with my review:

We, here at Maxim, are a little particular when it comes to hygiene. So, whether it’s that time of the month or any other time of the month, we think it’s very important that women receive information about what’s going in to their bodies, especially the most intimate parts of their bodies. Therefore, we’ve provided some helpful points below, about Maxim’s unique qualities, to help guide your decision making and thoughts on the importance of keeping your products most intimate products organic and natural.

They were kind enough to send me multiple feminine hygiene products to review.  They offer a wide variety of products from tampons to pads and cosmetic accessories.  All of these products feature the following benefits:

  • Made with 100% Certified Organic & Natural Cotton
  • Chlorine/Dioxin Free
  • Synthetic Free
  • Wood Fluff Pulp Free
  • Hypoallergenic/Irritation Free
  • Eco-Friendly & User-Friendly

Feminine HygieneThe initial reason that I requested to review their products was for these.  I am picky about my tampons.  I buy the cheap ones when I have to but I really hate using them.  The applicators are always rough and they are usually hard for me to push inside.  These ones are really nice.  They sent me the ones with an applicator because I find the ones without to be too hard to use without them due to my fingers being so weak and awkward.  The applicator on these is really nice and isn’t real rough when using it.  The tampons itself are real soft and I cannot really feel them when they are in unlike some other brands where they feel bulky and rough.  I found that their regular ones lasted longer letting the whole thing get soaked before the string would be soaked unlike some that I have to change early because the string gets all nasty and it isn’t even half used.

 

 

feminine hygiene Now, I don’t normally use pads or pantiliners, but these I like a lot because they are real thin and they are real soft.  It doesn’t feel like I am wearing much of anything.  I also found them to be great at the beginning and end of the cycle when wearing a tampon is silly because I am only spotting.  These would also be great use during a pregnancy if you spot a little or if you happen to have a yeast infection that you are treating so that no discharge gets onto your panties because you wouldn’t want to ruin them or stain them.

 

 

feminine hygeineThe Organic Cotton Balls that they sent me I had not known they would be including in the review, but I loved how they used this bag as stuffing for the box.  It was a great way for them to be eco-friendly while also giving me an additional item to review.  These cotton balls are very soft and work very well.
