Form-fitting self-adjusting disposable garment.

摘要

An anatomically form-fitting, generally self-adjusting disposable garment (10) comprises a resiliently-stretchable outer cover (20), preferably a breathable nonwoven elastomeric fabric, and an absorbent structure (22), disposed within the outer cover (20), including a liquid-pervious bodyside liner (42), a liquid-impervious barrier (44) and an absorbent composite (38) disposed between the liner (42) and barrier (44) for absorbing and containing body fluids and other exudate. Attachment pockets (29, 31) are formed from front (28) and back (26) waist areas of the stretchable outer cover (20) and longitudinally-opposed ends of the absorbent structure (22) are attached therein whereby the stretchability of the outer cover (20) is uninhibited. The bodyside liner (42) may be resiliently stretchable and bonded (45) to the outer cover (20) in a stretched condition, causing the absorbent structure (22) to assume a cupped profile against the body of a wearer.
