Morphology
The compound directly combines 'pussy' (vulgar term for female genitalia) with 'pad' (an absorbent piece of material), so the intended meaning — an absorbent pad for the genital/menstrual area — is transparently derivable from the constituents. Although informal and taboo slang, the composition follows a straightforward noun+noun pattern familiar cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pussy pad comes from a blunt slang word pussy for a woman's private parts and pad meaning a menstrual pad. So it is a casual or rude way to say 'sanitary pad'.
