The bonded portions are arranged in dotted line shapes according to a pattern in which same-sized octagonal portions having all interior angles of 135°, and having two pairs of opposite sides whose facing directions are mutually orthogonal are equal in length, and diamond-shaped portions each having equal length of all sides and being formed in portions among the octagonal portions, are arranged without any space in the front-back direction (LD) or the width direction (WD).

Feminine hygiene articles are disclosed herein. The feminine hygiene articles described herein can provide easily discernable placement and orientation guides which reduce the likelihood of misapplication by the user, facilitated attachment guides which can reduce the likelihood of misapplication of the feminine pad, and can also reduce the likelihood of improper attachment of the feminine pad to a panty. The feminine hygiene articles disclosed include uniquely shaped wings which can provide cues on proper attachment of the article to the panty and may help in providing sustained coverage of the feminine hygiene article to the panty which reduces the likelihood that the pad will become detached during use.

Provided is an individually-wrapped sanitary napkin N, in which a sanitary napkin 1 is folded lengthwise with a wrapping sheet 10 and wrapped individually, the sanitary napkin 1 including an inner surface sheet 3 that constitutes a skin-contacting surface layer and a pair of wing-like flaps W that have wing adhesive layers 9 for fixing the wing-like flaps W to the underwear. The wing-like flaps W are both folded to the skin-contacting surface side, and the wing adhesive layers 9, provided in the folded portions of the wing-like flaps W, are collectively covered by a wing separating sheet 12, and a functional chemical 20 having a specific function is contained in the inner surface sheet 3 in the area where the wing separating sheet 12 is layered.

An absorbent pad for use in a garment is disclosed. The absorbent pad includes a liquid impermeable barrier layer and a functional layer disposed adjacent to the barrier layer, the functional layer having a liquid absorbent component. The absorbent pad also includes a first attaching element coupled to a periphery of the functional layer and a periphery of the barrier layer; and a second attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion coupled to the first attaching element. The second portion of the second attaching element is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment. The absorbent pad is washable and reusable.
