Thin sanitary napkin having a flexibility selected to provide a good comfort potential while reducing bunching

摘要

A sanitary napkin (20) is disclosed that is thin, highly absorbent and has a flexibility selected to provide good comfort potential and at the same time reduce the likelihood of uncontrolled deformation, known as bunching. In a specific example, the sanitary napkin (20) has a cover layer (42), an absorbent system (44) and barrier layer (50). The absorbent system (44) has superabsorbent material in a matrix of cellulosic fibers. IMAGE
