A topic most women dare not talk about, U by Kotex is setting out to make this hush-hush issue a full blown social media campaign.

#SavetheUndies!

Did you know that millions of undies are ruined every year because of less than coopoerative pads?

U by Kotex says they want to help us all #SavetheUndies by making sure our undies are not another casualty of failed period care! They've introduced a new dimension of feminine care protection - 3D Capture Core - to all of their Ultra Thin pads.

3D Capture Core is said to have a one-of-a-kind center that helps lock away wetness to help stop leaks, giving the brand's millions of loyal consumers, and all women, access to the premium feminine care experience they deserve.

So how to save your unmentionables from those dreaded stains? Check out these panty-saving tips:

- Make sure you are cleaning and protecting your items so they stay in the best condition

- The best method for all undergarments is hand washing

- Wash bras after two wears

- Use a detergent that does not contain chlorine, perbonate or bleach

- Avoid washing intimates with towels or other stretch fabrics

- Never put underwire or metal in the dryer

- Get rid of those that are past their prime!

- While proper care will help keep your intimates beautiful for many wears to come, they still won't last past their prime. It's important to refresh your intimate wardrobe often.

- Stock up on new panties every six to eight months. Since they are washed more frequently than other clothing, it is necessary to replace them the moment you start to see wear and tear.
