An absorbent ostomy pad system for absorbing and containing waste emitted from a stoma in the body of an ostomy patient includes a highly absorbent thin body, preferably formed of one or more layers of cellulose fluff with a liquid absorbent polymer dispersed through the fluff, a permeable sheet disposed on one face of the absorbent body, an impermeable sheet disposed on the opposite face of the absorbent body and connected to the first sheet, to enclose the absorbent body between the first and second sheets, and attachment means for removably holding the pad over the stoma. The attachment means may be an adhesive, or may be an elastic band to encircle the patient's body over the pad. Odor control agents such as baking soda may be included in the absorbent body of the pad.
