<p>A method of making an absorbent interlabial device (20) that is worn interlabially by female wearers for catamenial purposes, incontinence protection, or both, is disclosed. The absorbent interlabial device (20) of the present invention preferably includes at least a central absorbent portion (28) (or core) surrounded by a liquid pervious topsheet (30). The topsheet (30) is folded laterally inward over the central absorbent portion (28) and downward to form a central groove (32) on the top surface of the interlabial device (20). The central groove (32) faces toward the vestibule of the wearer upon insertion into the interlabial space. The central groove (32) improves the comfort associated with the wearing of the interlabial device (20), and allows the device (20) to more rapidly acquire fluids, particularly viscous fluids. The device (20) is more easily manufactured than previous interlabial devices using current web handling techniques.</p> |
