LC Pads Discoloring!?!?

**galaxy** · 04-08-2011, 05:39 PM

My brand new white LC pads are discolored all the way around the edge. Theyre brand new and never used. Have no idea what's causing it either and both sizes are doing it. Why?? And does it hurt anything???

The white foam sometimes does turn a bit yellow on the edges. It doesnt affect performance whatsoever.

I have cyan hydro tech pads that are "yellowing" on the edges, I just make sure that I use them first. Just another reason I don't like receiving opened or non-packaged pads. As you have stated, I haven't noticed this affecting performance which is what counts.
