ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING A CONTAINMENT DAM

摘要

An absorbent article (20) includes a compression resistant containment dam (60) which is configured to inhibit the longitudinal flow of fecal material along the bodyfacing surface of the absorbent article. The containment dam is positioned in a laterally extending direction (38) and is located on the bodyfacing surface of the absorbent article such that, when the absorbent article is being worn by a wearer sitting on a flat surface, the containment dam is positioned along a line where the wearer's buttocks depart from the flat surface. The containment dam defines a relatively high resistance to compression for improved performance.
