Feminine Sanitary Napkin

A sanitary towel, sanitary pad, sanitary napkin, Maxi pad (U.S.), menstrual pad or pad is an. absorbent item worn by a woman while she is menstruating, recovering from vaginal surgery, for lochia (post birth bleeding), abortion, or any other situation where it is necessary to absorb the flow of blood from the vagina.

These pads are not to be confused with incontinence pads, which are worn by men or women who have bladder control problems or experience stress incontinence. Incontinence pads are a similar item to a menstrual pad, perhaps with a high absorbency. Menstrual pads may be used by some people for this purpose.

General information

A menstrual pad is worn during a woman's period to absorb her menstrual flow. It is worn externally, between the vulva and a woman's undergarment, unlike tampons which are worn inside the vagina.

Menstrual pads are made from a range of materials, differing depending on style, country of origin, and brand.

Kotex lists the materials used in their Maxi and Regular disposable pads as being made "mostly of wood cellulose fibers", with the "outer cover and the moisture-proof shields are made with a moisture-proof plastic such as polypropylene or polyethylene". Their tampons are made from a blend of "natural cotton and synthetic rayon, with a polypropylene cover."

It is recommended for a menstrual pad to be changed every 4-6 hours, however, a pad may be used longer without changing it, depending on the pad's absorbency and the woman's flow.  Medical Supply.
