I started getting rashes after using Kotex pads, what could be causing this?

Rashes from Kotex pads are most commonly caused by contact dermatitis, which happens when your skin reacts to materials like fragrances, dyes, adhesives, or synthetic layers in the pad.

Even if you’ve used them before, sensitivity can develop over time and lead to redness, itching, or burning.

Another major factor is moisture and friction, especially if the pad is worn for several hours, as this creates a warm environment that irritates the skin and can worsen rashes.

Tight clothing and prolonged use can make this more noticeable.

To reduce symptoms, switch to fragrance-free or cotton-based pads, change them more frequently, and keep the area dry.

If the rash persists or worsens, share your concerns or file a complaint on Xolvie to connect with others and find support.
