Where these two actually differ
- We flag Chlorine residues from bleaching and Bacterial growth and contamination during storage or use on the Tranquility and not on the Tranquility.
- We flag Unknown synthetic waterproof coating composition, Skin sensitization from undisclosed adhesives or sizing agents and Microplastic shedding from synthetic backing on the Tranquility and not on the Tranquility.
- The Tranquility is Cellulose, wood pulp, absorbent core, adhesives where the Tranquility is Cellulose/rayon core with waterproof backing layer, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Tranquility is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Tranquility grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
