Query: Absorbs 40oz of what???? Obviously DRY goods

These pads would not absorb a teaspoon of ANYTHING wet, it would seep right in and fall apart. I used them as extra protection on top of my sheets while working...they are thin and ALL the white padding you see in the pic certainly is NOT in the ones they ship. The inside padding is so thin and sparse you can see the blue plastic through the "cotton" center. I guess you do get what you pay for...I can still use them but I will NEVER order these again...I guess they are so cheap and you get free shipping because they know the people who buy them will be so ticked off once they receive them. I guess they are trying to empty the inventory. I will NEVER but these things again.
