Disposable garment with noodle cuff and method for manufacturing same

摘要

A disposable garment and method of manufacturing such whereby profile cuts are made near the longitudinal edges of an absorbent pad assembly to create leg cut-out pieces or noodles. The noodles remain attached to the absorbent pad assembly at a point proximal to a center point of the absorbent pad assembly. The noodles are then folded toward the interior surface of the absorbent pad assembly about the point of attachment and are attached to the interior surface by an adhesive. An outer folding strip of each noodle is then folded back upon the respective noodles and secured to the noodle and the absorbent pad assembly by an adhesive, thereby creating an effective leakage control shield without the need to discard unused material in the manufacturing process.
