Where these two actually differ
- We flag Topsheet polymer/treatment composition unknown, Contact dermatitis and skin irritation (generic) and Moisture retention and bacterial/fungal growth on the Nana and not on the Seventh Generation.
- We flag Fragrance allergen content on the Seventh Generation and not on the Nana.
- The Nana is cellulose, absorbent core, likely aqueous or silicone topsheet treatment where the Seventh Generation is organic cotton, wood pulp, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Seventh Generation is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
