Folded flange sealed sanitary napkin.

摘要

A sanitary napkin is disclosed with flange sealing means for protecting the body-facing surface from dirt and deformation until the napkin is ready for use. The seal is provided by a wrapping member which extends over at least a portion of the absorbent element of the napkin. Upon folding the napkin about a transverse axis, the wrapping member is adhered to itself by an adhesive to protect the napkin.
