ABSTRACT:
A disposable absorbent article defines an outer cover, an absorbent chassis and an absorbent support member which is configured to maintain the absorbent chassis close to a wearer's body in use. The absorbent chassis includes a backsheet, a bodyside liner which is connected to the backsheet in a superposed relation and an absorbent core disposed between the backsheet and the bodyside liner. The absorbent chassis is attached to the outer cover at the waist edges and remains at least partially unattached from the outer cover between the waist edges. The absorbent support member is attached to the absorbent chassis and extends between and connects the absorbent chassis to the side edges of the outer cover. The absorbent support member maintains the absorbent chassis in a close, conforming fit with the wearer's body even after the chassis becomes saturated with body exudates while the outer cover is free to move independently from the absorbent chassis. Thus, the disposable absorbent article has an aesthetically pleasing garment-like appearance and has improved fit and containment during use.
