The sanitary article of one embodiment comprises a pad portion having a fluid-permeable surface portion and an absorbent material adjacent to the surface portion. The pad portion is configured to be positioned exterior of the pudendum and to absorb a bodily fluid from the pudendum. A reservoir member is coupled to the pad portion and that defines a reservoir adjacent to the absorbent material. The reservoir member is shaped and sized to fit on a portion of the pudendum. The reservoir member is configured to receive and contain the bodily fluid therein until the bodily fluid can be substantially absorbed by the absorbent material.
