We acquired five competing products from retail shelves and performed a complete forensic teardown — measuring every layer from topsheet fiber denier to backsheet breathable film porosity. The resulting 25+ parameter comparison matrix revealed that the brand positioned as 'premium' was actually using lower-specification materials than a mid-tier competitor in three critical layers.

Why Only CORIO
A typical competitor comparison looks at price and marketing claims. Ours looks at what the product is actually made of — and what that means for performance.
