Sanitary pads, also known as menstrual pads, are absorbent pads worn by women during their menstrual cycle to absorb menstrual flow. They are typically made of soft, comfortable material and have adhesive strips to secure them in place. The pads come in various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different levels of flow and provide leak-proof protection. Some pads also have wings for added security and to prevent any side leakage. Sanitary pads are a convenient and discreet way to manage menstruation and maintain personal hygiene.
