The present invention is a disposable feminine hygiene product specially designed to contain menstrual flow leakage in the event a person is encountering heavy or irregular menstrual flow. The Protective Shield Blocker ensures that irregular menstrual flow will be concealed. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention can also be sold in a separate configuration that is ideal for other brands of sanitary products.

In an incontinence pad having an absorber 4 interposed between a permeable front surface sheet and a back surface sheet, the absorber is provided with an absorber recessed part, without relying on compression, on a surface of the permeable front surface sheet along an incontinence pad longitudinal direction and over a longitudinal direction range including a body fluid discharge site. By embossing from a front surface of the permeable front surface sheet, an embossed part imparted with an emboss width smaller than a groove width of the absorber recessed part is disposed along the absorber recessed part in the inside of the absorber recessed part.

Configurable absorbent articles with improved bodily exudate visualization when viewing a wearer-facing surface are provided. The absorbent articles include a liquid permeable topsheet forming a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article, a liquid permeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid permeable backsheet. The wearer-facing surface exhibits a Delta C* of greater than about 24 and less than about 50 when the absorbent article is subjected to a Bodily Exudate Visualization Test.

In a sanitary towel an inside elastic member is disposed in an intermediate portion in a width direction corresponding to a non-joint area of an upper layer side cuff surface, and when standing-up toward a skin side with an inside edge portion of a joint area as a base in a standing state, a portion between from the inside elastic member to an inside edge portion of a joint area works as a standing wall and a portion outside the inside elastic member works as a skin-abutting surface when the sanitary towel is worn, and a portion that works as a skin-abutting surface is further outward in a towel width direction in the standing state than in the folded state.

An absorbent article for providing protection against menstrual leaks having a pad with an absorbent core and three or more protective layers wherein a middle layer has a deep channel for collecting leakage. The absorbent article also has an adhesive bottom in direct contact with an undergarment and an intergluteal strip that is removably attached to the pad, wherein the intergluteal strip extends away from the distal end, wherein the intergluteal strip is adapted to be disposed within an intergluteal cleft.

The current invention in some embodiments thereof relates to a sanitary pad which has a flat configuration for easy storage and transport and folds to form a 3D shape including a bulge for dividing between skin in a sensitive area. In some embodiments, in the bulge may be perpendicular to a flat portion of the pad. Optionally, the fin may have a triangular shape. For example, a menstrual pad may include an anterior flat area configured to lie against the vagina and/or absorb menstrual fluids and a posterior bulge configured to fit into an intergluteal cleft. For example, the bulge may have the form of a triangular fin. Optionally, the pad is reformed from the flat configuration to its 3D configuration by folding a posterior portion of the pad.

An absorbent article in which an absorbent body is provided between a liquid permeable topsheet and a backsheet, includes a concave groove-like or a slit-like absorbent body concave portion provided at a liquid permeable topsheet side of the absorbent body along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article at an area including a urine expelling site, both end portions of the absorbent body concave portion in the longitudinal direction respectively being zones of a gradually decreasing width, each having a tapered shape whose width is gradually decreased toward an end portion side, each of the zones of a gradually decreasing width being formed to have a length that is greater than or equal to 20% of the total length of the absorbent body concave portion.
