Incontinence Pads vs Booster Pad: which is safer?
Eco by Naty Incontinence Pads is the clear pick. Attends Booster Pad carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in cellulose or plant-derived materials on the Eco By Naty and not on the Attends.
- We flag Polymer backsheet additives and degradation, Skin irritation from cellulose or polymer residues, Super-absorbent polymer (SAP) leakage and PFAS in water-resistant layer (graded separately but noted here) on the Attends and not on the Eco By Naty.
- The Eco By Naty is Bamboo-derived viscose, cotton, plant-based absorbent core where the Attends is Cellulose core with synthetic polymer backsheet (likely polyethylene or polypropylene), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Eco By Naty is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Attends grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
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 →
