Kotex is an American brand of feminine hygiene owned by Kimberly-Clark, a U.S. group active in over 80 countries. Launched in 1920, it is recognized as the world's first commercially available disposable sanitary napkin brand. Its origins trace back to World War I: Kimberly-Clark produced Cellucotton, a wood pulp-based material significantly more absorbent than traditional cotton, used in medical-military applications. In the post-war phase, the material was reinterpreted for women's well-being, giving rise to a range that would redefine menstrual hygiene in the 20th century. The name Kotex refers to the original cotton texture. Kotex is now distributed in over 100 countries and its range includes external pads of various sizes and absorbencies, panty liners, and internal tampons.
The 24 Kotex products available in the catalog cover the main needs of the menstrual cycle: from daily panty liners to high-capacity pads for heavy flows, including ultra-thin solutions designed for those who prioritize discretion and comfort under any type of clothing. To navigate the selection, it is helpful to start with the type of flow and the preference between internal and external protection: the product sheets provide absorbency ratings and materials, elements to pay close attention to, especially in cases of sensitive skin or specific allergies.
