Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in cellulose or plant-derived materials on the Eco By Naty and not on the Northshore.
- We flag Antimony in polyester fiber, Bacterial/mold growth if inadequately dried, Formaldehyde-based fabric finishing resins and Azo dyes in outer fabric on the Northshore and not on the Eco By Naty.
- The Eco By Naty is Bamboo-derived viscose, cotton, plant-based absorbent core where the Northshore is Absorbent core, outer fabric blend (likely cotton/polyester), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
