Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9004375A1] A disposable diaper (10) is disclosed which has been particularly configured for improved fit and comfort, as well as providing enhanced absorptive capacity and leakage-resistant characteristics. Improved fit and comfort are achieved by providing the diaper with a relatively thin, narrow absorbent panel (14), with the panel configured to provide desirably high absorbency efficiency for enhanced performance characteristics. Additionally, the diaper is provided with elasticized leg openings (24) each including a plurality of elastic members (26). The innermost ones of the elastic members are positioned relatively close together, thereby providing improved fit.
