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.
