Tranquility TopLiner Booster Pad
Skip until brand discloses waterproofing chemistry; period pads often use PFAS-based water-repellent coating coatings.
Tranquility does not publicly disclose what coating or treatment makes this pad waterproof. Period pads frequently rely on Teflon-family coating-based water-resistant treatments to prevent leakage.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
