Laurier is Kao's menstrual care brand and one of the most widely sold in Japan. Japanese pads are generally thinner than the North American norm at the same absorbency, which is the main reason people seek them out once they have tried them.
At 22.5 cm this is the standard daytime length, the one most people use through the middle days of a cycle. Twenty per pack is a practical quantity: enough to cover several days without buying a bulk box.
The top sheet is the part that matters most in daily use, and Laurier builds the range around keeping it soft against the skin rather than plasticky. As sanitary pads go these sit at the comfortable end, and sanitary napkin buyers who have used Japanese pads tend not to go back. A pantyliner covers the lighter days at either end of a cycle, and laurier makes those in the same range.
