Interpreting Women’s Tampon Absorbency & Dimensions
Standardizing women’s tampon absorbency requires correlating regional naming conventions with precise laboratory testing standards. Utilizing the Syngina (Synthetic Vagina) testing method (complying with FDA 21 CFR 801.430 and ISO standards), fluid retention is measured in grams () prior to leakage. This spans across global standards including US FDA classifications, European EDANA 1–6 droplet ratings, UK designations, and Asian regional market labels.
When utilizing this matrix for product selection or international size comparison, cross-reference your required fluid absorption capacity, preferred applicator or digital format, and physical dimensions (length and diameter in millimeters) to ensure comfort and safety.
