Sanitary napkin having barrier means

摘要

A sanitary napkin (210) is provided with a barrier means (107) to provide a barrier against lateral migration of body fluids. The barrier means (107) can be provided on a sanitary napkin (210) which has no wings and comprises in this core a distal edge (278, 278') which is located within the perimeter of the absorbent core (212) during use of the sanitary napkin. The barrier means (107) can also be provided on a sanitary napkin (210) having wings (224, 224') and can be formed of a unitary part of the napkin's topsheet (214) or can be formed by a separate strip of material.
