An absorbent article is provided having a liquid-permeable cover, a liquid--impermeable baffle and an absorbent with longitudinal side portions positioned intermediate thereof. The cover and/or baffle can extend beyond the longitudinal side portions to form longitudinal side edges of the absorbent article. The absorbent article further includes integral side barriers formed by gathering the longitudinal side edges inward toward the absorbent. In a preferred embodiment, the integral, longitudinal side barriers have a tensioning member for imparting a curved configuration to the absorbent article.
