Abstract

A disposable absorbing garment having a liquid impervious back sheet with waist regions and a crotch region therebetween. An elongate waistband extends along the waist region of the back sheet, an absorbent pad overlies the crotch region of the back sheet with end edges at the pad spaced inwardly from the waistband, and a liquid pervious liner sheet overlies the pad with its end margins wrapped around the ends of the pad. A hydrophobic extension sheet extends between the pad and waistband, with a first portion overlying the waistband and a second portion between the pad and back sheet. A method for assembly of such a garment includes the steps of forming a liquid impervious back sheet with laterally extending waist regions and a crotch region therebetween, attaching an elongate waistband to the inner side of a waist region, placing a portion of a hydrophobic extension sheet over the waistband with remainder portions of the extension sheet extending toward the crotch region, providing an absorbent pad between the opposed waist regions of the back sheet, overlying one face of the pad with a liquid pervious liner sheet and wrapping end margins of the liner sheet around the opposite edges of the pad and securing the combined pad and liner sheet to the back sheet with the end edges of the pad spaced inwardly from the waistband and overlying a portion of the extension sheet.
