Gasket selection criteria
Before starting your comparative analysis, review the basic criteria to help you select the gaskets you need.
- A type. Everything is simple here: we choose daily, hygienic or postnatal.
- Absorption rate. Wipes for 'critical' days have several degrees of protection, so we choose depending on the abundance of secretions.
- The form. As a rule, the most popular is the anatomical one, which maximally protects and prevents leakage. Night pads are more elongated. They can also be with or without wings.
- Upper layer. It comes in the form of a mesh or soft. The former absorbs better. Women with sensitive skin choose wipes with a soft layer.
- Aroma. Many types are produced using natural or artificial fragrances that eliminate unpleasant odors, prevent their appearance, and provide freshness and comfort. There are pads without any scent.
- Manufacturer. Many women have already settled on a certain brand that guarantees effective results and hypoallergenicity. It's better to take a closer look at new or unknown brands, read reviews and get expert opinion in order to avoid unforeseen consequences.
