Sanitary Napkin Testing

Sanitary Napkin testing as per IS 5405

Sanitary napkins are used by women when they menstruate. These napkins absorb the blood discharge without leaking for specific number of hours. They are meant for use for only one time, after which they have to be disposed. They are not reusable.

Sanitary napkins play a critical role in women’s lives today. Though they cannot reduce the pain that comes with menstruation but they certainly reduce the inconveniences associated with vaginal discharge. Quintessential for women, sanitary napkins have to be of superlative quality, so that they don’t have to deal with leakages and discomfort.
