What is Sanitary Pads?

A sanitary pad, sanitary napkin, menstrual pad, or pad is an absorbent item that absorbs menstrual blood or vaginal fluid. Pads are usually made from fabric layers such as cotton, cellulose, and superabsorbent polymers. These layers soak up the menstrual flow within. They keep the wearer comfortable, hygienic, and protected too. Pads are available in various sizes. Pads have various thicknesses. Pads have various absorbencies for various needs. Pads have various absorbencies for various preferences. Some pads are self-adhesive on the underside to stick onto underpants, have leak-proof barriers, and may be covered with a smooth, soft material. To address environmental worries, biodegradable pads, reusable pads, and organic pads exist. Sanitary pads go through pulp preparation, absorbent core formation, sealing, and packaging during the manufacturing process itself. Global sanitary pad demand increased on account of these factors: people had more menstrual hygiene awareness, sanitary products became more affordable, and governments began feminine hygiene programs. Because of the sanitary pad, women involve themselves in every aspect of life and are healthy, dignified, and productive during menstruation.
