Title: Nursing pad

Abstract: A nursing pad of multi-ply construction that is conformable and comfortable with a high resistance to strike-through and low sticking properties. The pad includes a lightweight layer of thermoplastic polymeric microfibers on one side of an absorbent middle layer containing thermoplastic polymeric fibers and, on the opposite side of the middle layer, a lightweight spun-bonded continuous filament thermoplastic polymer layer. The microfiber layer provides resistance to strike-through and will tend to cling to many fabrics preventing displacement of the pad during normal use. The continuous filament layer provides comfort and strength with a reduced tendency to stick. The combination is bonded by embossing wherein the embossing pattern on the microfiber side occupies a lower percentage of the surface area than the bonding pattern on the continuous filament side.
