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.

Anion versus Always Infinity

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

In our previous posts you saw the results of an absorbency test in which we compared Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins to Always Sanitary Pads. As you could see from the pictures, the Always pad did not have good absorbency results, and we thought we might have been to hard on them testing a regular lower price Always pad. So we did the test again, this time comparing Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins to Always Infinity Pads which are their more expensive, latest technology pads. Their label specifically states “NEW Powerful Absorbency”. They claim to be designed for heavy flow and “made with an incredibly absorbent material called Infinicel”.

So let’s see how the test came out this time.

We repeated the same procedure: poured the same amount of water (50 ml) over the pads

and then we pressed a dry paper towel against each one of them. Let’s see how they did this time:

You can see how hard the finger is pressed against the pad. Does it get wet? No!

You can see the fingerprints left on the towel because of pressing it so hard, but the towel still remained dry. Then I pressed the had firmly against it:

As you can see, the towel is still dry after all the pressing. You can see the print of the hand though.

Let’s see how the Always Infinity did when tapping it lightly with a finger:

Then I pressed my hand against the Always pad.

Water came flushing out, soaking the towel, even if the label points to some “microdots for fast absorption”. And when I wanted to lift my hand I had a nasty surprise:

The paper towel pressed against the Always pad was so soaked that it got stuck to my hand!

Finally, have a look at the picture comparing the results of the absorbency test Anion vs Always:

So, if you want a sanitary pad that will keep you dry, you know what to get.

In the following posts we will show you more absorbency test results for Anion versus some other popular brands.
