ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a packaged absorbent article includes: a package and an absorbent article. The package includes a first end, a second end, and package sides extending from the first end to the second end. The first end is folded along a first fold axis toward the second end such that the package sides fold over toward an inner major surface to form a pouch with pouch sides, and the second end folded along a second fold axis toward the pouch to form a flap. The absorbent article includes a fluid permeable cover disposed over an absorbent member. The article is folded along a longitudinal axis, and the folded absorbent article is disposed in the pouch with the fluid permeable cover disposed adjacent the inner major surface. The package flap engages at least a portion of the pouch.
