MULTI-DIRECTIONALLY EXTENSIBLE SANITARY NAPKIN

摘要

Multi-directionally extensible absorbent articles for wearing in an undergarment, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence pads, and the like, are disclosed. Multi-directionally extensible absorbent cores, and omni-directionally extensible absorbent cores for such absorbent articles are also disclosed. The absorbent articles with the omni-directionally extensible absorbent core are provided with an overall diagonal extensibility to accommodate the forces exerted on the absorbent article by the wearer's undergarments when the wearer walks, and otherwise moves about. The absorbent articles may also be provided with regions of extensibility that are oriented in certain directions to reduce the forces acting on the absorbent article when worn.
