Where these two actually differ
- We flag Water-resistant coating degradation and microplastic shedding and Allergen sensitivity to cotton or treatment additives on the Lola and not on the Modibodi.
- We flag Water-resistant coating degradation and Microbial growth and odor with improper care on the Modibodi and not on the Lola.
- The Lola is organic cotton with water-resistant treatment where the Modibodi is organic cotton blend with water-resistant 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.
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 →
