THIN SANITARY NAPKIN MANIFESTING HIGH LEVEL OF STABILITY

摘要

The present invention provides a sanitary napkin that is thin (less tha n 5mm in thickness), highly absorbent and manifest a comparatively high latera l stiffness when in a saturated condition. This high lateral stiffness in a saturated condition provides the sanitary napkin with an excellent stability when the napkin is wet, reducing the likelihood of uncontrolled deformation, known as bunching, due to compression forces exerted laterally against the napkin by the thighs of the wearer.
