Kimberly Clark Consumer Reviews - Page 2

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY -- Kimberly Clark has changed their incontinence pads by putting ink and odor control. They obviously did not test on women. What a joke. Causes pain and burning. Just amazing that a company such as KC did not do their homework... Goodbye poisen pads 😤😤😠😡👺. Absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting.

MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA -- After using Poise Pads for the past 8 years, I started developing intense burning and itching in the past 6 months. My doctor treated me for UTI twice. The pain kept coming back. All urine tests have been negative after the first treatment. Had a suspicion it was the Poise, by process of elimination. Haven't used the pads for 3 days and symptoms are subsiding.

If any woman has had a UI or worse from the use of the Poise product, You should contact Arnold Law firm, 91777-7777, they are gathering info.
The infections are NOT your fault, its the product.

It seems that Kimberly Clark, the makers of Poise Pads has discontinued their line of pads that have wings. I have tried all the other Poise, including the Hourglass and they ALL bunch up leaving my panties damp on the sides. Many of their consumers (including myself) have made complaints on their website and by phone about this issue, but yet I still can't find the ones that have worked for me through all of these difficult years. Their answer? "Well, let me see if we can find one of our products that can fulfill your needs."

I ask, "Does it have wings to keep it from bunching up and causing embarrassment?" "Well no.. but.." "Then I am not interested. Without something to hold the product in place, it's useless." LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. BRING BACK THE WINGS ON ALL VERSIONS OF ALL PADS! I'm sure it's to save money (as always seems to be the case when quantity over customer satisfaction is the main goal).. but in the long run, you make it back. Not sure if you have heard of a basic economic concept of supply and demand.

Here's how it works: People want a product, a company supplies that product. The people who want it, buy it, therefore, the money is made to make more. So people can buy it so the money is made to make more.. and so on. Simple. I have looked everywhere for any other LBL product with wings. I have looked in NUMEROUS stores for the Poise with wings, (even begged my store to bring them back to no avail).. I can't find ANY. Even the generic products don't have them. You know who does? EBAY and THAT is where I am going to start buying mine. So until Kimberly Clarke wises up and brings them back, my business goes to the lucky sellers on Ebay.

I have used Poise Pads for about ten years now. They worked so much better than all the other pads on the market. Then Kimberly Clark saw fit to mess with a good thing. The new hourglass pads leak, have no odor control, bunch up, and causes a terrible rash, which causes (Urinary-Tract-Infections) that is very hard to get rid of. I only used half a package and threw the rest in the garbage. I'm still fighting the infection it caused. I have spent over a thousand in doctor bills because of this product.

They have pulled the original product from the shelves. Go into any store, and you will find shelves overflowing with the new hourglass pads. No one wants them. The only people buying them are new customers to the pad market. It's so sad that these new customers think this is what they have to look forward to. I saw a young woman in the store looking at the products. She is contemplating surgery because of her experience with the new hourglass poise. I told her that they used to make a very good product, but have discontinued them.

I think all us ladies that have been harmed by this product should contact a lawyer. This should be the newest class action law-suit. I have boycotted all Kimberly Clark products and advise others to the same.

NEENAH,, WISCONSIN -- I have been a user of Poise pads for a few years and have never had a problem with them. However when the new product came on the market I purchased it and within a month or so I began to notice a terrible itching. It took awhile to connect the problem with the new pad. The itching is precisely where the pad touches my genital area and it is extremely uncomfortable. I too called the customer service telephone number and told her the problem. I was informed that nothing had been changed with the pad - it was the same as the old one. (It says right on the package that there is a 'fresh new look and dry-touch layer'.) She offered to send me coupons! Thank you but no thank you.

I have switched to Tena and five days after switching, the problem is finally dissipating. I would not wish this on anyone. It is a red itchy rash. I am not prone to any type of allergies and I am absolutely positive that the Poise pads have caused this reaction. Try Tena and I would hope that the Poise Ultra thins producer will rethink this new product, or at least bring back the old product, in addition to this new one.

NEENAH, WISCONSIN -- VIVA paper towels used to be the best on the market. They were soft, absorbent and lint free. Excellent product. That changed a couple of years ago. I tried them again based on their recent TV ads. Here is a copy of the letter I sent them regarding their "improved" (???) product. About 2 years ago I submitted a comment regarding the severe drop in quality of your paper towels. Then it was the because you changed your processing method and they left paper lint on everything. We stopped using them.

Recently your ads on TV indicated you had changed again. We tried them. I had hoped they had gotten better. Boy, was I wrong. They are coarse (not SOFT as the package states), do not tear evenly and produce more lint than ever. Your product now, in my opinion, is the worst one on the market. I realize that profit trumps quality in today's market. I know there are millions who will continue to buy your product no matter how bad it has become, but it won't be me. Goodbye and good luck.

A once very happy customer will never used these low quality, poor excuse for a paper towel ever again. I do not know what you did to ruin a wonderful product, but you did a very good job. Your product will never be purchased by my household again. Do you think everyone is so stupid that we cannot tell the difference? These are comparable to the cheapest, lowest quality paper towel that is on the market today! I hope all of your old faithful customers stop buying this worthless product, and you go out of business.

FLORIDA -- Found out that since the Poise Pads changed their product I had experienced constant UTI infections, irritation, itching, bladder incontinence, it was just a horrible time. I am so glad I found my3cents site and confirmed all my symptoms. Everything the women are saying helped me finally figure all this out.

NEENAH, WISCONSIN -- After switching from the new dreadful poise pads because of a severe allergic reaction I saw my Nurse Practitioner today. She said the whole area (she could see exactly where the pad touched my skin, was very red and irritated.) She has put me on a strong cortisone cream and I am now bathing with baking soda daily too. People have been having severe allergic reactions going back to Jan. 2009 and still they not changed the product.
