It’s important to find period products that keep you feeling comfortable and protected. 

Our lab test results will tell you which sanitary pads:

  • absorb fluid the quickest
  • stay dry on the surface
  • have a strong adhesive system to keep them secure
  • leaked during testing. 

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings that the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
