Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) skin contact and allergic response and Microplastic shedding from synthetic facing layers on the Nana and not on the OB.
  • We flag Microplastic shedding or degradation, Irritation or allergic sensitization from adhesive or synthetic fibers and Bacterial growth or contamination from prolonged moisture on the OB and not on the Nana.
  • The Nana is Cotton, cellulose, standard absorbent core where the OB is rayon/viscose, cotton, and gelling polymers, 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 →
