Embodiment Construction

[0033] The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins with flaps, adult incontinence products, panty liners and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to absorbent articles having wings and regions of differential elongation for reducing the of stress.

[0034] As used herein, the term "absorbent article" means an article capable of absorbing and storing bodily exudates, in particular an article placed on or near the wearer's body for absorbing and storing various bodily exudates. The term "absorbent article" may include sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence pads (and other articles worn in the crotch region of panties). The term "disposable" means that it is used only once and discarded, preferably recycled, composted or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner.

Abstract

An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, having flaps and zones of differential extensibility for relieving the stresses that develop in the flaps when the flaps are folded down along the edges of crotch of the wearer's undergarments is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, adult incontinence articles and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates particularly to absorbent articles having wings and regions of differential elongation for reducing strain on the wearer's body when said wings are folded down. Stresses created in the wings when under panties. Background technique [0002] A wide variety of absorbent articles are known which are specifically shaped to absorb fluids excreted by the body (eg, menses, urine, feces, etc.). Absorbent articles, in particular sanitary napkins having wings or wings, are disclosed in the literature and commercially available. [0003] Flaps projecting laterally from a central absorbent member are typically folded around the edges of the crotch region of the wearer's panties. These flaps are located between the edge of the crotch region of the wearer's p...
