Absorbent undergarment with liquid conductive layer and elastic step design.

摘要

A garment (20) for use in absorbing and containing waste comprising a generally rectangular liquid impervious backing (22) having a peripheral edge (24) and a generally rectangular liquid pervious body-side liner (40) having a peripheral edge (42). The liquid impervious backing (22) and liquid pervious liner (40) are joined at their peripheral edges (24,42) to form a container (74). A generally rectangular absorbent layer (58) is between the liner (40) and the backing (22). A generally rectangular pledget (76), which is made of absorbent material, is positioned between the absorbent layer (58) and the backing (22). The pledget (76) has a width and length less than the width and length of the absorbent layer (58).
