TESTS & CERTIFICATES

OEKO-TEX® 100

Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified for safety and purity. Product Class II certification guarantees GENTLE DAY® pads and liners are safe for direct skin contact. Every component is tested for harmful substances: free from toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, PAHs, pesticides, phthalates and bisphenols (BPA/BPS/BPF).

TESTED BY DERMATEST GmbH

Independently clinically tested by Dermatest® GmbH (Germany) on 30 people with sensitive skin, following ISO 10993-23. Skin was monitored at 24h, 48h and 72h with no relevant skin reactions observed, earning the highest possible Excellent rating for skin tolerability (04/2026). Certificates: Pads and Liners.

MADE FOR HEALTH

Made for Health® (AITEX) certified. Passed microbiological testing (ISO 11737-1, under 5 CFU/g) and cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5, over 70% cell viability). Confirms the products are free from harmful bacteria, molds and toxic substances.

TESTED FOR PFAS

The skin-contact top layer of our pads and liners was tested and returned negative for fluorine, a key PFAS indicator. We say no to harmful forever chemicals and yes to safe comfort.

VEGAN

Certified Vegan by the Vegetarian Society. No animal-derived ingredients, by-products or derivatives, and never tested on animals.

GOTS by ICEA

GENTLE DAY® tampons are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) by ICEA: made with at least 95% certified organic cotton, free from chlorine, fragrances and synthetic additives, and produced under strict environmental and ethical-labour criteria.

DERMATOLOGICAL STUDY

A three-month dermatological study with 30 women found no skin irritation from GENTLE DAY® pads and liners, while 26 participants reported irritation from conventional brands. Concluded hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin.

NEGATIVE ION TEST

The patented FAR-IR Anion strip releases about 6,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter, helping reduce bacterial growth and neutralising ammonia-based odours by over 80% for long-lasting freshness.

FAR-INFRARED TEST

Made with tourmaline, the FAR-IR Anion strip emits far-infrared rays (total emissivity 0.86), working with negative-ion technology to support hygiene, odour control and comfort.

ABSORBENCY TESTED

    Absorbency Test: Superior Protection with the Rothwell Method  


    At GENTLE DAY®, we understand that absorbency is crucial for comfort and leak protection.
    Our full pad and liner range has been independently tested by AITEX (Spain) using the
    Rothwell Method (ISO 11948-1:1996), a globally recognized standard for measuring
    total absorption capacity.


    Key Findings from the Absorbency Test  

Product Average Absorption 

Liners (Absorbent/Pantyliners)35.8 ml

Mini / Light Flow (Teen Pads)48.4 ml

Day Use / Regular Flow145.8 ml

Heavy Flow172.2 ml

Extra Heavy / Postpartum221.6 ml


    Higher Absorbency Compared to Industry Standards: Conventional pads typically absorb 5–30ml, while GENTLE DAY® pads absorb up to 220ml, depending on size — independently verified, lot-tested results across our full range.
    Why This Matters?
  

  • Better Protection: Provides superior absorbency to prevent leaks, even on heavy flow and postpartum days.
  • Comfortable & Dry Feel: High absorption capacity keeps you dry longer, whatever your flow level.
  • Scientifically Tested: The Rothwell Method, performed by AITEX, an ENAC-accredited lab, ensures accurate, lab-verified results for consumer confidence.
  • Less Frequent Pad Changes: In our separate dermatological study, 94% of women reported using fewer pads compared to their previous brand — meaning fewer trips to the bathroom, less waste, and a more sustainable choice.
  • More Confidence & Sustainability: With fewer pad changes needed, women experience greater confidence, convenience, and a reduced environmental footprint.


    Experience Maximum Absorbency  


    GENTLE DAY® pads offer industry-leading protection across every flow level, giving you peace of mind
    during your period. Choose science-backed absorbency for superior comfort and reliability.
