About Me
In hospitals and first aid stations during World War I, Kimberly-Clark's cellulose wadding often replaced cotton which was in short supply. Through the ingenuity of army nurses, the wadding was adapted for menstrual purposes.In 1920 it was introduced as Kimberly-Clark's first consumer product. The Kotex trademark was derived from the words "cotton texture." We wanted a product name that was short, easy to say and easy to remember. How'd we do?Our maxi pads and pantiliners are made mostly of wood cellulose fibers -- the same raw materials paper is made from. (We "fluff" these fibers to make the material absorbent and soft.) The outer cover and the moisture-proof shields are made with a moisture-proof plastic such as polypropylene or polyethylene, to help minimize leakage. In our KOTEX SECURITY tampons, the absorbent material is a blend of natural cotton and synthetic rayon, with a polypropylene cover.I also come in Hello Kitty style..
