A good way to carry an extra absorbent pad or liner on an airplane flight might be to insert it in a zip lock bag with a soft pack of wet wipes/baby wipes inserted at the front of the bag. I usually go through airport security with crutches, leg braces, and often a foldable wheelchair, and such a carry on usually fits in a cargo pants pocket or jacket pocket. Sometimes the security workers will pat me down and I explain that it is just extra paper towels or pads, etc.

 

However, if they insist I remove it, then it can be placed in the tray on the conveyor belt (with wallet, keys, shoes, cap, jacket, coin bag, etc., etc.) and if the contents of the bag is folded tightly enough only the package label of the wipes attracts attention. Seems to make it easier to bring along an extra pad until you have access to your checked luggage.

 

Perhaps this might be helpful to some.
