A disposable panty shield (10) comprising a thin, highly absorbent pad having a body-contacting surface (12), an absorbent layer (16), a liquid barrier (17), a positioning means (18) for attaching the pad to an undergarment, and a release layer (19) to protect the positioning means prior to use wherein the entire structure has been densified by fusing all pad layers together in a manner such that the interstitial space between the individual fibers in the densified areas (13,14) is not sufficient to readily allow fluid to flow through. Further, the densified areas are made contiguous such that fluid, when introduced or deposited on the pad, will be prevented or hindered from flowing to the edges of the pad (10). <IMAGE> |
