Rearz - Overnight Booster Pads Sample Pack
Unknown waterproof backing material, no PFAS data available.
Rearz booster pads have waterproof backing but the company reveals nothing about what polymer is used or whether PFAS testing occurred. No third-party certifications or lab results exist.

What Rearz - Overnight Booster Pads Sample Pack is made of, ingredients and materials
Rearz overnight boosters use an unspecified absorbent core (likely superabsorbent polymer or cellulose blend) paired with a waterproof backing layer of unknown polymer composition. The backing is critical because it sits against skin for extended periods; if it contains PFAS-based water repellents or unknown synthetic polymers, leaching risk increases with moisture and body heat. The brand has not published material safety data sheets or ingredient transparency for this product, making independent hazard assessment incomplete.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Waterproof polymer layer composition is undisclosed. PFAS-based water repellents are common in period-care products; extended skin contact with unknown polymers during overnight use elevates exposure risk.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Skin sensitizers in absorbent core or adhesives
No published testing or incidents on record for this product. Superabsorbent polymers and adhesives in period pads may contain residual monomers or cross-linkers; absence of data does not confirm safety.
Degradation or shedding of polymer layers
No reported failures documented. Extended moisture exposure during overnight use may degrade polymer coatings over time; risk level unknown without material specifications.
Fragrance or scent additives
Product packaging does not list fragrance content. If present, fragrance compounds can trigger allergic contact dermatitis, particularly on sensitive genital skin during extended contact.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Reartz maintains no published stance on PFAS use, chemical testing, or material certifications for period-care products. The company does not list third-party safety certifications (FSC, Oeko-Tex, or similar) on product packaging or website. No major product recalls or safety controversies are on record for this line, but the silence on material composition is itself a transparency red flag in a category where skin contact hazards are high.
How it compares in its category
Competitors like Seventh Generation, Thinx, and Knix publish detailed chemical disclosures and many carry independent certifications for non-toxic materials. Rearts overnight boosters occupy a mid-market price point without matching disclosure standards of safety-focused brands. This product sits in a gap where cost is competitive but material assurance is below industry best practice for intimate care.
If you buy it
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight, as moisture exposure may increase leaching from the waterproof backing. Replace pads every 4-6 hours or sooner if saturation occurs, to minimize prolonged skin contact with the polymer layer. Discontinue use immediately if skin irritation, rash, or odor develops. Contact the brand directly to request a material safety data sheet and PFAS testing results before making repeat purchases.
