A feminine care absorbent article (e.g., feminine care pad, sanitary napkin, tampon, etc.) is provided that employs a synergistic combination of an antimicrobial composition for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, protozoa, yeast, fungi, etc.) and a pH sensor for signaling to the user when the antimicrobial composition is no longer operating at its full capacity. In this manner, the user can initially wear the article without fear of infection. After a certain period of time, the user can visually inspect the color of the pH sensor to obtain an indication of whether the antimicrobial composition is still active and effective in inhibiting microorganism growth, or whether it is time to replace or remove the article. |
