An absorbent multi-layer hygiene product comprising a plurality of stacked absorbent pads that are releasably attached to each other. Each absorbent pad includes a liquid-pervious topsheet, a liquid-impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. Each topsheet and backsheet extends beyond the absorbent core and forms an outer peripheral edge to sandwich the absorbent core. Each peripheral edge includes a pair of opposed longitudinal edges and a pair of opposed end edges. Each backsheet has a garment-facing surface and an adhesive disposed on the peripheral edge of the garment-facing surface to releasably secure the adjacent layers to each other.
