A sanitary napkin, sanitary towel, sanitary pad, menstrual pad, maxi 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 a flow of
blood from a woman's

These pads are not to be confused with generally higher absorbency
incontinence pads, which are worn by men or women who have
urinary incontinence problems or experience stress incontinence. Menstrual pads may be used by some people for this purpose.
