My 8-month pug ate cottony pee pad. Is he okay if acting normal?

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | neutered | 7 months and 28 days old | 17 lbs

My 8 month old pug ate good amount of the inside of pee pad while I was at work. None of the plastic, just the cottony inside. I don't know when exactly it happened, could be over 8 hours ago or as soon as 1 hour ago. I also don't know if he ate it ripped up into small pieces or a bigger chunk. I live in Korea and don't speak Korean, so if you think a vet visit is necessary it will have to be in the morning. He is eating and acting normal.

Since you don't when or how much, it is reasonable to monitor for any GI upset or vomiting or diarrhea and monitor his activity level and appetite. If you notice any changes over the next 1-2 days then he needs to be seen by a vet to see if there is an obstruction.
