Subj: Re: [kl] Pad measurement

Ed-

I have been waiting to see if there were other answers, but yours was the
only one. My problem is that
no pad I have seen is marked with its diameter, although I should think
they could be marked on the back with a great improvement in convenience.
At present, given an unknown pad, how do you tell which size it is??

If one had a large selection of pads, as a practicing repair tech would
have, you could just choose one which fit the cup properly. But if you are
going to order a pad, you have to know what size to call it.

For instance, I just measured a new pad; one of the larger ones. I get 14
mm when measuring the back (where the paper is) and 15 mm at maximum
diameter, close to the skin side. What is this pad called?
