Kotex was created when Kimberly-Clark repackaged one of its wartime products cellucotton a bandage material made from cellulose wood pulp and used as a surgical dressing for wounded soldiers. When wartime nurses began using the bandages during their periods, K-C was inspired by them to develop a product specifically designed for their needs.
In 1920, Kimberly-Clark formed the Cellucotton Products Company as a separate division to sell the brand name Kotex (COtton-like TEXture), as a new name in feminine hygiene.
Kotex today proudly delivers the widest range of sanitary products across markets, including maxi pads, overnight pads, ultrathin pads, slim pads and daily liners.
