ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a compound sanitary napkin. The compound sanitary napkin comprises an acquisition/storage member including an absorbent element and an outer cover. The acquisition/storage member preferably has a base and an apex; the apex being vertically opposed to the base. The width of the base is greater than the width of the apex. The compound sanitary napkin further comprises an accumulation member that is connected to the acquisition/storage member juxtaposed the base. The accumulation member comprises a liquid impervious backsheet and an absorbent material joined thereto. Preferably, the accumulation member includes a backsheet, a topsheet joined to the backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the backsheet and the topsheet. The compound sanitary napkin of the present invention further comprises a bearing member which connects the acquisition/storage member to the accumulation member; the acquisition/storage member being slidably connected to the bearing member and the bearing member being joined to the accumulation member adjacent their respective end edges. In an alternative embodiment, the bearing member can flare to a greater width adjacent the end edges of the accumulation member.
