Huge gaps in sanitary pad absorption speeds, over half poorly labelled: survey A recent survey by the Consumer Council in Hong Kong has highlighted significant shortcomings in the quality and labeling of disposable sanitary pads sold in the territory.

This is not an isolated incident, but rather a symptom of a broader problem that reveals a lack of accountability and transparency within the industry.
