A tabless sanitary napkin with sealed end portions of improved flexibility and softness. The napkin is comprised of an elongate absorbent pad 22 enclosed in a fluid-permeable wrapper 26 of thermoplastic material. A fluid impermeable baffle 24 of thin thermoplastic film is disposed between the wrapper and the lower surface of the pad. Extensions of both wrapper and baffle project a short distance beyond each of the pad ends. The wrapper and baffle extensions are bonded to each other by an ultrasonically induced thermal seal in a transverse narrow band-like area disposed between and spaced from the periphery of the pad ends and the free ends of the wrapper and baffle extensions. In the preferred embodiment the pad, the sealed band, and the free end portions are rounded. A method for manufacture of the napkin is also disclosed. <IMAGE> |
