maxi pad

Period protection product

A maxi pad is an absorbent pad worn in underwear to absorb menstrual blood.

The maxi distinguishes it from thinner panty liners—maxi pads are larger and more absorbent, designed for heavier flow days.

Also called a sanitary napkin or sanitary pad: I need to pick up maxi pads at the pharmacy.
