absorbent pads
Liquid-wicking fabric pieces
Absorbent pads are flat, layered materials designed to soak up liquids.
The term covers a range of products: medical pads for wounds or incontinence, nursing pads for breastfeeding, training pads for housebreaking pets, industrial pads for spills.
What unites them is a core of absorbent material—cotton, polymer, or pulp—that draws liquid in and holds it.
