ABSTRACT:
An absorbent product useful as a male incontinence device is disclosed. The product is convertible between a two-dimensional structure for storage and a three-dimensional structure for use. There are folds forming pleats located in the interior of the product to allow the interior to be expanded from a pleated configuration to an expanded configuration, and the periphery of the product is secured to prevent substantial expansion. Thus, the product is capable of being manipulated between a substantially two-dimensional planar structure for storage and a three-dimensional, cup-like structure for use. Methods of manufacturing these absorbent products are also disclosed.
