A pad for relieving breast engorgement includes a material comprising absorbent fibers and an acidic agent. The pad is configured to insert within the cup of a bra. A bra pad has a layer of absorbent fiber material with a front surface and a back surface. A liquid barrier layer has a first side interfacing the back surface of the absorbent fiber material and an opposing second side. An acidic agent is disposed within the absorbent fiber material. A method of relieving breast engorgement includes providing an absorbent pad including absorbent fibers and an acidic agent shaped to insert within a cup of a bra and disposing the pad between the cup of the bra and an engorged breast to be relieved.

A radiation-sensitive spectrally sensitized tabular grain emulsion is disclosed which exhibits improved speed and contrast. The tabular grains have {111} major faces, contain greater than 70 mole percent bromide and up to 10 mole percent iodide, based on silver, account for greater than 90 percent of total grain projected area, and have an average equivalent circular diameter of at least 3.5 .mu.m. The tabular grains have latent image forming chemical sensitization sites on their surfaces including epitaxially deposited silver halide protrusions of a face centered cubic rock salt crystal lattice structure forming epitaxial junctions with the tabular grains. The protrusions are restricted to those portions of the tabular grains located nearest peripheral edges of and accounting for less than 10 percent of the {111} major faces of the tabular grains, accounting for less than 5 percent of total silver forming the tabular grains and protrusions, containing a silver chloride concentration at least 10 mole percent higher than that of the tabular grains, and contain at least 1 mole percent iodide, based on silver in the protrusions.
