A disposable, absorbent “moisture management” pad for use to absorb fluids secreted or discharged from a user. The pads will protect the skin area from exudates/drainage by absorbing large amounts of fluid and locking it into a super absorbent core that remains dry on the outer surface next to the skin. The pad contains an ultra-thin core containing super absorbent polymer and two layers of tissue substrates, a water impervious non-woven back sheet and a water pervious non-woven top sheet.
