Disposable absorbent article with intergluteal extension

摘要

An absorbent feminine hygiene article configured to intercept a flow of fluid escaping along the intergluteal cleft has been developed by Vesna Stewart of Winter Haven, Florida, USA. Shown in Figure 4 as a sanitary napkin (300), the device outlined in US Patent 8 961 486 comprises: 1. a main body portion (302); 2. an intergluteal extension (304); 3. an absorbent cord (306) connecting the intergluteal extension to the main body portion. The triangular-shaped intergluteal extension, which has a series of accordion folds, is adapted to prevent fluid from escaping from the absorbent article toward the backside via the intergluteal cleft, says the inventor.
