menstrual pad

Absorbent feminine product

A menstrual pad is an absorbent product worn in underwear to collect menstrual blood during a period.

Pads attach with adhesive strips and come in various sizes and absorbencies, from thin panty liners to thick overnight versions.

They are the oldest and most widely used form of disposable menstrual product, though reusable cloth pads also exist.

I always keep a menstrual pad in my bag just in case.
