Abstract
The present invention provides an absorbent article including a containment assembly having a topsheet, a backsheet joined to the topsheet and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core has longitudinal edges and end edges. A containment cuff extends along each longitudinal edge of the absorbent core. The containment cuff includes a resilient member, an outerwrap covering the resilient member, and a stem portion for securing the containment cuff to the containment assembly. The resilient member has a height and a cross-sectional area. The resilient member is formed from a material that will recover at least about 80% of its original volume after it is compressed about 20% of its original volume. The stem portion has a first edge, a second edge, and a height as measured from its first edge to its second edge. The first edge of the stem portion is secured to the containment assembly inboard of the longitudinal edge of the absorbent core. The containment cuff has a height of the resilient member per height of the stem portion of about 0.04 to about 100 centimeters per centimeter.
