A feminine hygiene pad with a large petal protrusion at an aft end of the pad. The feminine pad is used to prevent leakage from seeping around the buttocks region, especially while seated or in a supine position. The invention improves over existing pads due to the large petal shape for coverage on the buttocks portion and on the material used for absorbency.

A personal hygiene product with a digital element is described. In one embodiment, a conductive sensor assembly is disposed within the personal hygiene product that includes one or more moisture sensors that generate a resistive and/or capacitive signal indicative of saturation of the personal hygiene product when in wetting contact with menstrual fluid.

A packaged feminine care absorbent article includes an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region to absorb bodily fluids discharged by the wearer. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a liquid-impermeable layer, a body-facing surface, and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer and the absorbent structure is attached directly to the garment-facing surface of the shell. The absorbent article is configurable between a before use packaged configuration and a use configuration. The absorbent structure is folded longitudinally about at least two transverse fold lines and a portion of the shell overlies a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration.

A compressed groove point (16) where compressed grooves (12) formed bilaterally and symmetrically on both sides of a center line (CL) in a lengthwise direction of a sanitary napkin (1) or lines extended from center lines of the compressed grooves (12) intersect with each other at a position corresponding to a front end (31) of a intergluteal cleft of a wearer is formed, and a right and left pair of outline inflection points (17) is formed in an outline of a rear end of the sanitary napkin (1) formed into a bilateral and symmetric wavelike shape. Easy deformation parts (18) that facilitate generation of a deformation in a transverse direction of the sanitary napkin (1) and are formed of the compressed grooves that become base edges of the deformation, are provided on or in the vicinity of two virtual lines (S) connecting the compressed groove base point (16) to the outline inflection points (17) on right and left sides, respectively, such that a distance between the two virtual lines (S) gradually increases toward a rea side.

Disposable absorbent articles suitable for providing leakage protection for users that experience relatively small to relatively large discharges of fluids are described. The article includes a primary topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent system disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent system includes a first absorbent core and a second absorbent core, and wherein the primary topsheet and at least the first absorbent core include a plurality of recessed areas.
