BUYER GUIDE · SANITARY PADSHow to Review a Sanitary Pad Sample
A structured review of dimensions, surface feel, absorbent construction, leak protection, adhesive and packaging before approval.
Why this mattersSample approval should combine measurable specifications with practical handling and use-direction checks. Length alone does not determine absorbency or protection.
01Dimensions and intended use
- Confirm overall length, front and rear width, wing position and coverage against the intended day, night or liner use.
- Check whether the pad remains proportionate when the length changes; do not simply scale one shape.
- Record tolerances and measurement method in the final specification.
Surface and absorbent structure
- Review topsheet feel, embossing, acquisition layer, core distribution and backsheet breathability direction.
- Compare absorption speed, liquid distribution and rewet using an agreed method and test volume.
- Check core integrity after handling and whether the product bunches or separates.
Leak protection and attachment
- Inspect leak guards, channels, edge seals, wings and back adhesive placement.
- Confirm release-paper removal and adhesive performance on the intended underwear fabric.
- Review day and overnight formats separately when their coverage direction differs.
Individual wrap and retail pack
- Check seal strength, opening direction, noise, print registration and product orientation inside the wrap.
- Confirm pack count, compression, carton dimensions, barcode position and master-carton requirements.
- Approve a packed sample, not only an unpacked product.
