Selection Tips

• Length: 14–16" for full coverage; measure current pad + 1–2".
• Width: Wider back (3.5–4") prevents side leaks.
• Absorbency: Match to heaviest day; "overnight" rating ≠ only for night.
• Wings: Essential for secure placement on wider underwear.
• Material: Organic cotton top sheet reduces irritation for many.
