ABSTRACT:
The invention refers to an anatomic absorbent which contrary to similar products exhibits dynamic and anatomic action, accompanying the movement of the body of the user and providing increased protection against leakage. The absorbent of the invention comprises an absorbent substrate (3) sandwiched between a permeable and an impermeable layer (1, 2) which are sealed to each other at least at the ends of the absorbent. On each side, at least along a part of its length, there is provided between the edges of said layers (1, 2) a strip (6) of heat-shrinking material in the contracted state, so that each side takes the form of a raised flap (4 and 5). Said layers are bonded to the strips (6) at a plurality of regions interspaced along the lengths of the strips, there being no continuous bond between the layers and those parts of the flaps which are provided with the strips.
