FEMININE HYGIENE ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

An absorbent feminine hygiene article (10) has an external absorbent pad (12) for disposition against the labia majora of a user, and a nonabsorbent flexible sheath (14) for extending into the vagina. The sheath intercepts body fluid in the vagina and directs it to the external pad (12). A conducting layer (28) conducts fluid so intercepted by the sheath to an absorbing surface on the interior of the external pad (12), the interior absorbing surface being displaced from the user's body by a primary mass of an absorbent layer.
