Compresas higiénicas (also we call sanitary napkins , lady pads , women pads , sanitary towels , menstrual pads , etc) are absorbent, disposable products worn in underwear to absorb and contain menstrual fluid (period blood) to protect clothing and prevent leaks, allowing for comfortable and discreet management of menstruation and other forms of vaginal discharge. They can also be used for managing postpartum bleeding or post-vaginal surgery discharge, with specific designs available for different absorbency needs.
Primary Uses

How They Work
- Adhesive Back: An adhesive strip on the bottom of the pad secures it to the inside of the underwear.
- Núcleo absorbente: The pad contains an absorbent core designed to draw in and store menstrual fluid.
- Top sheet: A fabric top sheet allows fluid to quickly pass through to the absorbent core, keeping the surface dry.
- Back sheet: A waterproof backsheet prevents the absorbed fluid from leaking onto clothing.
- Wings: Some pads have “wings” that fold over the sides of the underwear, providing extra security and preventing leaks.
