The U by Kotex MaxiMalism Jeans are a limited-edition garment designed to help empower women and embrace their confidence by combating against period shame.
The jeans have a low-rise, medium-wash cut that's reported to be perfectly baggy and paired with transparent pocket on the rear. This is intended to hold a menstrual pad where it will be visible to those around the wearer and thus combat against the taboo nature surrounding periods. The jeans will be available while supplies last only.
Vice President of U by Kotex Nicole Pawlukowsky spoke on the U by Kotex MaxiMalism Jeans saying, "U by Kotex believes a period should never get in the way of women’s progress. We strive to end negative perceptions around period products and destigmatize menstrual care. Our MaxiMalism jeans bring that belief to life, by showing that a period is nothing to hide.”
