What moves the price
For nonwoven pad, the drivers are size, absorbency, sterile vs non-sterile, cotton content, firmness, pack count, inner absorbent layer, outer cover material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Pricing is mainly driven by absorbency stack-up (SAP/fluff pulp/inner layer), sterile packaging, and whether the pad uses premium soft nonwoven face stock or simple polypropylene cover, with custom print and carton config adding smaller increments. The most realistic routes are Chinese OEM/ODM medical-dental factories and trading suppliers quoting FOB prices, plus landed-equivalent import listings that show sub-$0.10 to ~$0.20/unit at scale for similar nonwoven absorbent pads and underpads. US-facing distributors usually publish much higher retail or small-wholesale prices, so they are useful only as a ceiling check rather than a bulk benchmark.
