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  on this update to show the ratings that the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Only products of each type (regular and super) can be directly compared with one another, so use our filter tool to sort by type. Our Recommended list will quickly show you which brands scored the best in our tests.

We test regular and super pads. Pads that are labelled as super, overnights or maternity have all been tested as super pads. Only products within each type are directly comparable to one another.

Wings

Wings are the extra material on the sides of the pad that fold over the sides of your underwear.

Absorbency score

Expand to view more details.

Each product is tested for its absorbency speed. A specific amount of saline solution is dosed into the centre of the sanitary pad using the dosage pump. The amount of time it takes for the liquid to disappear is recorded and the process is repeated once more after waiting for three minutes. The total time for both gushes to absorb is taken as the absorption speed.

Absorbency score 82%
Expand to view more details.
Each product is tested for its absorbency speed. A specific amount of saline solution is dosed into the centre of the sanitary pad using the dosage pump. The amount of time it takes for the liquid to disappear is recorded and the process is repeated once more after waiting for three minutes. The total time for both gushes to absorb is taken as the absorption speed.
Wet feeling score 68%
Expand to view more details.
We test the wet feeling (or rewet) five minutes after the last gush from the absorbency test. We place six pre-weighed dry filter papers on the sanitary pad and hold them down for 30 seconds. The filter paper is then removed and immediately weighed. Ideally, the filter paper should remain relatively dry.

Absorbency score 69%
Expand to view more details.
Each product is tested for its absorbency speed. A specific amount of saline solution is dosed into the centre of the sanitary pad using the dosage pump. The amount of time it takes for the liquid to disappear is recorded and the process is repeated once more after waiting for three minutes. The total time for both gushes to absorb is taken as the absorption speed.
Wet feeling score 70%
Expand to view more details.
We test the wet feeling (or rewet) five minutes after the last gush from the absorbency test. We place six pre-weighed dry filter papers on the sanitary pad and hold them down for 30 seconds. The filter paper is then removed and immediately weighed. Ideally, the filter paper should remain relatively dry.
Velcro strength score 40%

We measure the force required to pull the pad from a cotton surface.
