An absorbent feminine care article (20) having a longitudinal direction (22), a lateral direction (24), first and second longitudinally opposed end portions (72, 72a), and a intermediate portion (76) located between the end portions. The article (20) comprises an absorbent body (30) sandwiched between a cover (26) and a baffle (28). A first side-panel (42) is attached to a first, lateral side region (60) of the intermediate portion (76) of the article, and the first side-panel (42) includes a first panel-fastener component (44) operatively joined to an engagement surface (50) of the first side-panel. A second side-panel (42a) is attached to a second, lateral side region (60a) of the intermediate portion (76) of the article, and the second side-panel (42a) includes a second panel-fastener component (44a) operatively joined to an engagement surface of the second side-panel. In a particular feature, the first and second side panels can have a selected overlap distance (58), as observed when the side panels (42, 42a) are arranged in their storage position. In other features, the article can have a selected panel-edge distance (66) and/or a selected, outboard fastener-edge distance (68).
