ABSORBENT PERSONAL CARE ARTICLE HAVING WINGS AND PROTECTIVE STRIPS.

摘要

An absorbent personal care article, such as a sanitary napkin or incontinence pad is described having a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline and including a pair of opposed first and second wings extending along the longitudinal sides of the article. The article further includes first and second protective strips attached to the sides of the article such that when the wings are folded under the article and around the wearer's undergarment, the first and second protective strips extend laterally outboard of the article and the edges of the wearer's undergarment to provide additional protection against leakage of body fluids deposited onto the absorbent personal care article.
