Yes, Peter explained it well (thanks Peter ; ) .
Weight it in grams , 1 gram equals 1 ml. So, if the difference is 10 grams there is 10 ml of urine in your pad. I would suggest to weight EVERY pad before using it since they are not all the same weight, even if they come form the same bag. Buy tiny kitchen digital scale on Amazon, they are very cheap. AND, I am not measuring - HE is measuring lmao - I just go over numbers on a written log every day like very strict librarian lady *wink wink

@sandguy I can answer that.
Weigh a pad dry (measured in grams.) Write it down.
Then weigh it when its wet (measured in grams). Write it down.
The difference is milliliters lost. (do you use metrics?)
I bought a small kitchen scale just for that.
Do that for each pad over a 24 hour period.
Urologists love having leakage quantified like that.
