A regular daytime pad can hold around 5 milliliters of fluid, while an overnight pad can hold 10 to 15 milliliters.
It's important to note that "blood" isn't the only fluid a pad absorbs. Menstrual fluid is a combination of blood, uterine tissue, and vaginal secretions. Therefore, the pad's capacity refers to the total volume of fluid it can hold, not just blood.
Here's a breakdown:
- Regular Daytime Pad: Holds approximately 5 ml of fluid.
- Overnight Pad: Holds approximately 10-15 ml of fluid.
Keep in mind that these are approximate values and can vary depending on the brand, type, and absorbency level of the pad.
