ABSTRACT:
Some example embodiments of the present invention relate to a package that includes a bag and a plurality of absorbent articles that are stored within the bag. The bag includes a plurality of sidewalls and a bottom portion that is connected to each of the sidewalls. The bag further includes a resilient member that extends through each sidewall such that the resilient member forms an adjustable opening in the bag. In some forms, the absorbent articles are diapers that are folded and arranged in a parallel configuration within the bag. Some other example absorbent articles include diapers, feminine hygiene articles, pull-ups, incontinent pads and training pants (among others). The package is able to adequately store disposable absorbent articles once the package has been opened. Therefore, the package eliminates the labor which is typically required to move the disposable absorbent articles from the opened package to another container.
