ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article includes a compression resistant containment dam which is configured to inhibit the longitudinal flow of fecal material along the body facing surface of the absorbent article. The containment dam is positioned in a laterally extending direction and is located on the body facing surface of the absorbent article such that, when the absorbent article is being worn by a wearer sitting on a flat surface, the containment dam is positioned along a line where the wearer's buttocks depart from the flat surface. The containment dam defines a relatively high resistance to compression for improved performance.
