Abstract

See full text

The invention is generally accomplished by providing a feminine pad having flap areas extending outside of the longitudinal sides of the absorbent pad. The longitudinal flaps are provided with channels containing strings. Prior to use and for disposal after use, the pad may be rolled and the strings tightened to hold the rolled pad in a roll, as well as close and protect the sides of the rolled pad. In a preferred embodiment, the strings may be provided that are shorter than the pad in order to shorten the edges of the flap to shape the pad and provide liquid barriers at the pad edge to minimize leakage of the pad when in use.
