What is the stuff inside a pad?

The material inside a pad, commonly known as a menstrual pad, typically consists of an absorbent core made from materials like cellulose, superabsorbent polymers, and sometimes cotton. This core is designed to absorb menstrual fluid quickly and keep it away from the skin. The pad is often layered with a soft top sheet for comfort and a waterproof backing to prevent leaks. Additional components may include odor control substances and adhesive strips for secure placement.
