<p>An elongated sanitary napkin (10) has deflectable longitudinal side edges (34,36) formed by an edge or peripheral seal (28) along the opposite sides of an absorbent (18). A garment attachment panel (14,16) is secured to the underside of each side edge. A fixed portion (50) of the panel (14) is bonded flat against the side edge so that a free portion (52) of the panel (14), extending from the fixed portion (50), is directed inward and downward. During use, the panels (14,16) are fastened together beneath an undergarment crotch portion by hook (58) and loop (60) type fastener. Fastener (58,60) and panels (14,16) are sized so that when fastened the panels (14,16) exert a pull on the side edges, controlling their deflection and, for example, preventing them from folding in over the absorbent (18). The garment attachment panels (14,16) confine the undergarment crotch portion under the absorbent (18) so that, for example, an elasticized edge of the crotch portion is prevented from pulling up and onto the absorbent (18). <IMAGE></p> |
