A thin sanitary napkin (20) having a flexible border encircling the absorbent core is disclosed. The flexible border is formed by joining the backsheet (24) to the topsheet (22), either by crimping or heat sealing along a seam (34), outboard of the absorbant core (26). A soft flexible edge (51) along the back end of the sanitary napkin is provided by placing the seal or crimp inboard from the back edge of the flexible border so that non-bonded topsheet and/or backsheet materials exist between the backsheet/topsheet seam and the rear end edge of the flexible border. In an alternate embodiment, the topsheet/backsheet seam is located inboard of the entire peripheral edge (36) of the border (35) to provide a napkin having softer edges. |
