Disclosed is an absorbent assembly comprising a liquid impermeable member having a pair of laterally opposed side margins. The laterally opposed side margins of th e liquid impermeable member are defined by longitudinal fold lines which define the folde d portion having longitudinal end portions, an intermediate portion between said longitudi nal end portion, and a distal edge. The longitudinal end portions are joined to the abso rbent assembly intermediate the width of said absorbent assembly. The distal edge of t he folded portion is unjoined to said absorbent assembly in at least a portion of t he intermediate portion of said folded portion. The absorbent assembly further incl udes an absorbent core joined to the liquid impervious member and including a retention portion. A bodyside liner at least partially covers the retention portion and extends lat erally beyond longitudinal side margins of the retention portion by at least about _ millimete rs to define stiffening elements.
