Shields Incontinence Pads for Men vs Women's Ultimate Pads: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag PFAS in waterproof backing, Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) integrity and microfiber shedding, Bacterial and fungal growth in absorbent core and Skin irritation and sensitization from non-woven layers or residual manufacturing chemical on the Depend and not on the Tena.
• We flag PFAS in waterproof coating (covered separately; listed for completeness), Skin irritation from coating degradation or contact, Microplastics from synthetic nonwoven breakdown and Bacterial contamination or mold growth if stored improperly on the Tena and not on the Depend.
• The Depend is Absorbent core (wood pulp, SAP), non-woven layers, polyethylene backing/waterproof barrier where the Tena is Cellulose/nonwoven blend with unspecified waterproof coating, 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.
