ABSTRACT:
A disposable absorbent article such as a diaper is provided with a continuous upper layer, an absorbent element, an impermeable plastics sheet, elastic parts positioned along the lateral edges to either side of the absorbent element and two elasticized flaps positioned inwardly of the elastic parts. Each flap is formed out of the continuous upper layer by use of an elastic element fixed along its entire length to the inner surface of the continuous layer. The continuous upper layer is liquid-permeable in the zone between the two elastic elements of the flaps and impermeable in the two adjacent zones located between the elastic elements and the lateral edges of the absorbent article. In use, the elastic elements contract, lifting the continuous upper layer off the underlying surface, at least at the crotch area, forming two longitudinal barriers which are impermeable on the side facing the lateral edges of the absorbent article, thus ensuring a more efficient containment of lateral leakage of liquids and solids in an absorbent article of simplified structure.
