ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an absorbent assembly comprising a liquid impermeable member having a pair of laterally opposed side margins. The laterally opposed side margins of the liquid impermeable member are defined by longitudinal fold lines which define the folded portion having longitudinal end portions, an intermediate portion between said longitudinal end portion, and a distal edge. The longitudinal end portions are joined to the absorbent assembly intermediate the width of said absorbent assembly. The distal edge of the folded portion is unjoined to said absorbent assembly in at least a portion of the intermediate portion of said folded portion. The absorbent assembly further includes an absorbent core joined to the liquid impervious member and including a retention portion. A bodyside liner at least partially covers the retention portion and extends laterally beyond longitudinal side margins of the retention portion by at least about 12 millimeters to define stiffening elements.
