SANITARY OR INCONTINENCE PAD

摘要

A sanitary or incontinence pad includes wings which can be folded around the web of an undergarment, wherein the pad has a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and a front end region in the longitudinal direction and a rear end region in the longitudinal direction, a primary pad part, the longer dimension of which extends in the longitudinal direction and which accommodates an absorption body for body fluids, and further comprising two wings on each longitudinal side of the primary pad part which protrude in the transverse direction starting from the primary pad part such that same form a front and a rear wing pair, wherein the wings of a wing pair can be detachably connected to each other or to an undergarment by means of adhesion zones and are each delimited by a front-side and a rear-side flank, and further comprising barrier elements, which extend and are attached on both sides along longitudinal side edge regions of the primary pad part and which, at the respective distal longitudinal edge, comprise a tensioned elastification means which tries to lift up the barrier element in question, wherein in a front and a rear longitudinal section the respective barrier element, when folded in a flat design, is fixed against an upper face of the primary pad part so as to extend flat such that the barrier element cannot raise up in said longitudinal sections. The properties of the pad during use are improved according to the invention in that, starting from the front or rear end region, the front and rear longitudinal sections of the respective barrier element extend in the longitudinal direction at least to a point at which the neighboring wing has reached half the surface area thereof.
