Kotex pads keep leaking at night, how can I stop leaks?

If Kotex pads are leaking at night, it usually means the length, absorbency, or placement isn’t enough. Here’s how to fix it:

Use overnight pads;

• Choose Kotex Overnight / Night versions
• They are longer with wider back coverage
• Prevent leaks when lying down

Adjust placement;

• Place the pad slightly further back
• Make sure it’s centered and fully secured

Back leaks often come from wrong positioning.

Increase absorbency;

• Use heavy or extra heavy flow pads
• Light/regular pads won’t last overnight

Wear the right underwear;

• Choose snug-fitting underwear
• Keeps the pad from shifting during sleep

Movement is a major cause of leaks.

Use wings and full coverage;

• Pads with wide wings stay in place better
• Reduces side leakage

Add backup protection;

• Use period underwear or a towel underneath
• Helpful on heavy nights
