ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article incorporating a main body which has a waist hole and a pair of leg holes, and comprises a topsheet positioned in a facing relation to a wearer's body, a backsheet positioned opposite thereto, and an absorbent core interposed between the backsheet and the topsheet. The topsheet is a composite which comprises two layers of sheet material and two elastic members sandwiched between the two sheets of material. The topsheet further has communicating means disposed in a crotch region of the absorbent article for receiving body exudates. The communicating means is surrounded by the elastic members which form leg gathers, and serves as a passage to communicate body exudates to a space defined between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article of the present invention can provide excellent flexibility, a snug fit and comfort to a wearer during use, while effectively preventing leakage from the leg gathers.
