Absorbency Guide
Choose the right absorbency language for women and men. Start with confirmed ml capacity, then use North American references that make the protection level easier to understand.
Absorbency is measured in ml first. tsp, tampon, and pad comparisons are shopper-friendly references after capacity is confirmed.
Women
Use ml as the source number, then add pad or tampon references when they help explain the level.
Men
Use ml plus tsp and bladder-leak scenarios first. Keep feminine-hygiene comparisons secondary.
Unit reference
1 tsp is about 5 ml. Super tampon midpoint is about 11 ml for comparison only.
Fit matters
Absorbency works best when the waist and leg openings sit close without pinching.
Start here
Split the page by women and men, but keep ml as the source of truth.
Women and men may need different explanation styles. The tested ml capacity should stay consistent, while tsp, tampon, and pad references are used only as customer-friendly translations.
Women absorbency guide
For women product pages, ml remains the measured capacity. Pad and tampon references can make the level easier to understand for North American shoppers, especially when comparing light, regular, heavy, and overnight needs.
Primary unit
Show the confirmed ml capacity first when available.
Helpful comparison
Use pad or tampon equivalents as approximate references, not as lab test substitutes.
Bladder vs period
Keep bladder-leak guidance separate from period-flow use unless the product is confirmed for both.
Fit note
Do not size up for more absorbency. Use the Size Guide for waist and hip fit.
Men absorbency guide
For men product pages, explain absorbency with ml, tsp, and bladder-leak scenarios. This is clearer and more natural than leading with tampon or pad language.
Primary unit
Use confirmed ml capacity as the product standard.
Helpful comparison
Add tsp for a simple household reference. Example: 30 ml is about 6 tsp.
Scenario copy
Use terms like small drips, daily leaks, small bursts, longer wear, and overnight only if supported.
Fit note
Waist, front coverage, gusset placement, and leg openings matter for leak protection.

| 60 ml | About 12 tsp | About 5.5 tampons | About 2.5 heavy pads |
| 80 ml | About 16 tsp | About 7 tampons | About 3 overnight pads |
| 100 ml | About 20 tsp | About 9 tampons | About 3.5 overnight pads |
| 120 ml | About 24 tsp | About 11 tampons | About 4 overnight pads |

Fit for leak protection
Waist
The waistband should feel stable, not tight, and should not roll or slide while moving.
Leg openings
The leg openings should lie flat against skin without gaps, lifting, or strong marks.
Too large
If the edges lift, sag, or shift, the garment may not stay close enough for best protection.
Too small
If the garment pinches or feels restrictive, choose a more comfortable fit.
Product care and absorbency
Reusable absorbent layers should be cared for according to the garment label. Avoid adding unconfirmed wash temperatures, drying rules, or detergent restrictions until the final product care label is confirmed.
Medical and safety note
Jade Butterfly incontinence underwear is designed to help manage everyday bladder leaks. It is not medical advice or a treatment for incontinence. If your symptoms are new, severe, painful, sudden, or getting worse, please consult a healthcare professional.
FAQ
How do I choose absorbency?
Start with your daily leak pattern: how often leaks happen, when they happen, and whether you need longer wear. Then choose a product level confirmed for that need.
Why are women and men explained separately?
The tested ml capacity is the same type of standard, but the most intuitive comparison can be different. Women may understand pad or tampon references faster, while men usually need ml, tsp, and bladder-leak scenarios first.
Can I use the conversion table as a product claim?
No. Use the table only after the product's tested ml capacity is confirmed. The comparisons are approximate education references.
Is absorbency the same as size?
No. Choose your size for fit. Choose absorbency for leakage needs. Sizing up does not create more absorbency.
Can I wear it overnight?
Only rely on overnight use if the product absorbency is confirmed for overnight needs. If unsure, contact support before using it as your only overnight protection.
What if I leak through?
Check whether the size is secure, whether the product absorbency matches your leakage level, and whether care instructions have been followed. If leaks are heavier than expected, consider a higher confirmed absorbency level or contact support.
How often should I change?
Change when the underwear feels wet, heavy, uncomfortable, or no longer meets your protection needs. Exact timing depends on personal leakage level and product absorbency.
Can I use it for period flow?
Use this page for bladder-leak guidance unless Jade Butterfly confirms period-flow suitability for the specific product.
Does washing affect absorbency?
Care can affect reusable absorbent layers. Follow the garment care label and avoid unsupported care methods until the final label is confirmed.
What if my bladder leaks are getting worse?
Please consult a healthcare professional for new, severe, painful, sudden, or worsening symptoms.
