Where these two actually differ
- 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 OB.
- We flag Adhesive contact sensitivity and Bleaching residues in cellulose on the OB and not on the OB.
- The OB is rayon/viscose, cotton, and gelling polymers where the OB is Cellulose, nonwoven synthetics, adhesives, 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 →
