Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9903436A1] Individual packages for absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, and adult incontinence pads are disclosed. The individually packaged absorbent article comprises an absorbent article having a body-facing side and a garment-facing side, with an adhesive fastener on the garment-facing side. The absorbent article comprises of a primary absorbent component having a longitudianl axis, a width, and a pair of longitudinal side edges. The primary absorbent component is joined to a base pad to form at least a portion of the body-facing side of the absorbent article. In one preferred embodiment, the base pad is wider than the primary absorbent component so that the base pad had portions that extend laterally outward beyond each of the longitudinal side edges of the primary absorbent component to form extensions of the base pad. The wrapper for packaging the absorbent article comprises a flexible sheet where the extensions of the base pad are wrapped around the primary absorbent component relative to the longitudinal axis of the primary absorbent component. The wrapper forms a tubular package for the absorbent article.
