Abstract

An absorbent article is disclosed which is designed to be secured to an undergarment, which includes a crotch portion with a pair of side edges. The absorbent article includes a liquid permeable cover, a liquid-impermeable baffle and an absorbent enclosed by the cover and the baffle to form a pad. The pad has first and second raised longitudinally-extending sides, each with a vertically oriented outer surface, and a garment-facing surface. The absorbent article includes a pair of flaps which cooperate with one another to extend around the crotch portion of the undergarment and overlap one another. Each of the flaps has a proximal edge and a distal edge, in which proximal edges are affixed to one of the vertically oriented outer surfaces and each of the distal edges extend downwardly and inwardly around the crotch portion of the undergarment. The pair of flaps are secured together by an attachment. The absorbent article further includes first and second channels formed in the garment-facing surface of the pad. The first and second channels are sized and configured to mate with the side edges of the undergarment.
