Why are we even surprised?
If you have periods, especially heavy periods, you might need to sit down for this one.
Well, it turns out that actually, the first time human blood was ever used to test the absorbency of menstrual products was, er, earlier this month. I know, I’m screaming internally too.Until now, researchers have used saline water or even just water to test the efficacy of period products which means people may not have an entirely accurate idea of whether their periods are heavy or not.
Once they’d conducted this research, they measured the volume of blood necessary for saturation or filling of the product was recorded.What they found was that, actually, menstrual discs are the most absorbent of the period products that they tried. No, I hadn’t heard of them either! Further understanding of capacity of newer menstrual products can help clinicians better quantify menstrual blood loss, identify individuals who may benefit from additional evaluation, and monitor treatment.”
