There is no difference between the two.
All tampons, whether brand-name or generic, have the same absorbency ratings. This is an industry standard - the tampon industry is self-regulated, but this is one 'rule' from outside the industry, it was brought in after the 1970's-1980's Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) outbreaks as absorbency is a major factor in contracting TSS.
Absorbency ratings are as follows;
- Junior - 6 grams
- Regular - 6-9 grams
- Super - 9-12 grams
- Super Plus - 12-15 grams
- Ultra 15-18 grams

What do tampons do differently than pads?
Pads are absorbent material that sit in the underwear to catch and absorb menstrual flow as it leaves the vagina during menstruation. Tampons are absorbent material that are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual flow before it leaves the body during menstruation. Tampons are internal so they can allow women to be more active, such as swimming, but they can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome.
What type of tampons may cause tss?
All tampons pose the risk of TSS, but most TSS cases have involved commercial tampons.Modern commercial tampons are made from bleached rayon, a synthetic material that is more favourable to bacterial growth and more aggressively absorbent so causes more damage to vaginal tissues. Previously commercial tampons were made from other synthetic materials, the Rely brand responsible for the TSS outbreak in the 1970's-1980's were made from carboxymethylcellulose and polyester which were so absorbent they caused tears in the vaginal walls, between vaginal damage and encouraging bacterial growth Rely caused many TSS cases (we don't know the full numbers due to faults with how TSS cases were reported and recorded by the CDC).Sponge tampons had a cluster of TSS cases associated with them in the 1970's as a result of a contaminated batch, but sponge tampons - like soft tampons and cloth tampons - have since had no known associated case of TSS. Cotton tampons have had no cases of TSS associated with them at all.
