Anion vs Kotex Absorbency Test

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Here is another absorbency test –Anion vs Kotex– the last one in this series. Someone might say they are getting tired of hearing the same story, and I could understand that. What is harder for me to understand is why some women would go through the same bad experiences with sanitary pads month after month, and still not grow tired and decide to change the brand they are used to. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable every month, and always uneasy at the thought that some leakage in your pad might cause spots to appear on your clothes. Anion Sanitary Napkins can keep you dry, feeling very comfortable and very safe even on the worst days of your period.

So let’s see how the Anion vs Kotex absorbency test went. We poured the same amount of water (50 ml) over an Anion and over a Kotex sanitary pad. We colored the water so that it is easier for you to see it.

Then we took two dry paper towels and pressed them against each pad to see how much liquid is coming back out. When pressing the hand against the Anion Love Moon Sanitary Pad, the paper towel remained completely dry:

Let’s see what the test results were for the Kotex sanitary pad:

As you can see from the pictures, the Kotex pad was so soaked, that the paper towel got wet when simply laying it on top of the pad, without even pressing it at all. And then, when pressing it with the hand, water came flushing out, as you can see.

I think the message is pretty clear. And, unlike some advertisments say, I would add: Be my guest and feel free to try this at home. I am sure you will not only be convinced, but also happy to have discovered some sanitary pads that can help you feel comfortable and safe: Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins.

How well is your sanitary pad doing its job?

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Probably the most important quality of a sanitary pad is ABSORBENCY. Actually that is why we use them -to keep us dry. How well do different sanitary pads manage to do that job?

Here is an easy test we suggest. You can do it yourself or, if you don’t want to spend your money on several different kinds of pads, you can just take a look at how our tests turned out.

After carrying out the tests I realized we gathered so much material that it cannot all go into one post, so I will just show you the results of one test today.

ANION LOVE MOON SANITARY NAPKINS versus ALWAYS

You can see how we filled two different glasses with some blue colored water (5o ml. each) and then poured the water over the pads.

Then we took two dry paper towels and pressed them against the pads.

In the above pictures you can see how wet the towel got after pressing it against the Always pad. Actually it did not only get wet when pressing the hand against it, but even at a simple light finger tap.

Let’s see how the Anion did:

And here you saw how the towel pressed against the Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkin remained dry, though I did press it hard! See how the finger goes deep in, pressing hard against it (above picture). And then, I pressed my hand so hard that the print of my hand can be seen on the towel, and it still remained dry.

In conclusion, you can obviously see the difference in between Anion and Always pads. Anion Love Moon sanitary napkin has a much higher level of absorption and that is what you need if you want to stay dry and feel comfortable.

My next post will be about Anion versus a different famous brand pad, so keep following us for more interesting tests results.
