The company, however, acknowledged that the test results might not address all concerns raised by consumers, particularly those relating to comfort and product performance.

It said factors such as breathability, fit, heat and humidity could influence users’ experiences with sanitary products.

The manufacturer said it was reviewing these aspects as part of efforts to improve the design and comfort of its products.

The statement comes amid consumer concerns about sanitary pads, with questions extending beyond product safety to include comfort and suitability under local climatic conditions.
