ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article includes an absorbent core positioned between a bodyside liner and an outer cover. Containment flaps are inwardly folded to form containment reservoirs which inhibit exudates from leaking through or out of the absorbent article. The containment flaps include flap elastics which form surface contact with the user's body. The containment flaps are generally spaced outwardly from the absorbent core to increase the capacity of the reservoirs. In one embodiment, the unfolded containment flaps have a width greater than the crotch side width from the absorbent core to an outer edge of the absorbent article. This arrangement also allows the absorbent article to contain a sudden increase in exudates.
