An absorbent pad is configured for receiving waste. The absorbent pad includes a base layer and a string. The base layer has a collection region surrounded by a peripheral edge. The string is slidably attached to the peripheral edge at a plurality of locations. The base layer is configured to move from an open position to a closed position. The base layer is configured to be substantially flat such that the string is disposed along the peripheral edge when the base layer is in the open position. The base layer moves from the open position to the closed position in response to sliding the string relative to the plurality of locations, whereby the peripheral edge is drawn together at the plurality of locations to form a bundle and the string is only disposed along the peripheral edge corresponding to the plurality of locations.

1. An absorbent pad configured for receiving waste, the absorbent pad comprising: a base layer including a collection region surrounded by a peripheral edge having a rectangular shape, such that a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner are disposed in spaced relationship
1. An absorbent pad configured for receiving waste, the absorbent pad comprising: a base layer including a collection region surrounded by a peripheral edge having a rectangular shape, such that a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner are disposed in spaced relationship to one another along the peripheral edge; anda string slidably attached to the base layer at only the first corner, the second corner, third corner, and the fourth corner;wherein the base layer is configured to move from an open position to a closed position;wherein the base layer is configured to be substantially flat when the base layer is in the open position such that the string is configured to be disposed along the entire peripheral edge when the base layer is in the open position; andwherein the base layer is configured to move from the open position to the closed position in response to sliding the string relative to the base layer at each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner, such that, in the closed position, the peripheral edge is drawn together at each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner, to form a bundle and the string is not disposed along the peripheral edge extending between each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner. 2. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the string is formed as a loop. 3. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the base layer includes a first layer and a ring layer corresponding to a shape of the peripheral edge; wherein the ring layer is configured such that the string is disposed between the ring layer and the first layer when the base layer is in the open position; andwherein the ring layer is configured such that portions of the string that are not slidably attached to the peripheral edge at the first, second, third, and fourth location are not disposed between the ring layer and the first layer when the base layer is in the closed position. 4. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 3, wherein the ring layer presents an inner edge surrounding the collection area and an outer edge surrounding the inner edge; wherein the ring layer is operatively attached to the base layer at the inner edge such that portions of the string that are not slidably attached to the peripheral edge at the first, second, third, and fourth location are not disposed between the ring layer and the first layer when the base layer is in the closed position. 5. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 4, further comprising a restraint at each of the first, second, third, and fourth corner; wherein the string is slidably disposed between each of the restraints and the inner edge of the ring layer such that portions of the string that are not slidably disposed between each of the restraints and the inner edge are also not disposed between the ring layer and the first layer when the base layer is in the closed position. 6. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 5, wherein the ring layer defines at least one opening between the inner edge and the outer edge to provide access to grasp the string. 7. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 6, wherein the ring layer defines an opening at each of the first, second, third, and fourth corners. 8. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 3 wherein the first layer is formed from an absorbent material. 9. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 8, wherein the base layer includes a second layer formed from a fluid impermeable material such that the first layer is disposed between the ring layer and the second layer. 10. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the base layer includes: a first layer formed from an absorbent material; anda second layer formed from a fluid impermeable material configured to prevent liquid from leaking through the absorbent pad. 11. An absorbent pad configured for receiving waste, the absorbent pad comprising: a base layer including a collection region surrounded by a peripheral edge having a rectangular shape, such that a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner are disposed in spaced relationship to one another along the peripheral edge;wherein each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner defines a channel; anda string slidably extending through each of the channels such that the string is slidably attached to the base layer only at each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner;wherein the base layer is configured to move from an open position to a closed position;wherein the base layer is configured to be substantially flat when the base layer is in the open position such that the string is configured to be disposed along the entire peripheral edge when the base layer is in the open position; andwherein the base layer is configured to move from the open position to the closed position in response to sliding the string through the channels, relative to the base layer, such that the peripheral edge is drawn together at each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner to form a bundle such that the string is not disposed along the peripheral edge extending between each of the first corner, the second corner, the third corner, and the fourth corner. 12. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 11, further comprising a flap covering each channel. 13. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 11, wherein the string is formed as a loop. 14. An absorbent pad, as set forth in claim 11, wherein the base layer includes: a first layer formed from an absorbent material; anda second layer formed from a fluid impermeable material configured to prevent liquid from leaking through the absorbent pad.
