PFAS score
Poise · Panty Liners
Poise Bladder Control Pad
Skip until Poise discloses waterproof backing chemistry, bladder pads typically use water-repellent coating coatings that may contain PFAS.
Poise bladder control pads require a waterproof backing layer to function, yet the brand provides no public disclosure of the coating chemistry or PFAS status. Absorbent hygiene products with liquid barriers frequently rely on fluorinated water-repellent coating treatments.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
