ABSORBENT ARTICLE COMPRISES A FLUID-PERMEABLE COVER ON A BODY-FACING SURFACE AND A FLUID-IMPERMEABLE BARRIER ON A GARMENT FACING SURFACE, DETAILS OF BENDING ZONE OF FLUID-ABSORBENT CORE

摘要

A body conforming absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, is disclosed which has preferential bending zones and a structural zone. The bending zones cause the article to preferentially bend at locations anterior and posterior to the labia majora so as to keep a relatively planar configuration in the perineal area. The structural zone is resistant to wet collapse so that the central portion of the article stays in contact with the user.
