ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING INTERNAL SIDE WRAPPING ELEMENTS

摘要

Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, adult incontinence devices and the like are disclosed. The absorbent articles described herein provide improved coverage of the wearer's undergarments and have improved side wrapping elements that fold or wrap the sides of a wearer's undergarments. The side wrapping elements are configured so that the majority of the surface area of the side wrapping elements is located laterally inward of the outwardmost portion of the main body portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent article can, thus, be thought of as having "internal flaps" that can fold around a wearer's undergarments.
