Abstract

See full text

An absorbent garment having a pant-like configuration is constructed using side leak guards which are seamless, and which exhibit improved performance. The seamless leak guards are provided by incorporating a substantially liquid-impermeable outer cover into the garment having lateral edges which extend substantially beyond the lateral edges of the absorbent layer. Elastic bands attached to the outer cover urge the edges upward during wear, and against the wearer's body, to prevent leakage of waste material. The portions of the outer cover which extend laterally beyond the absorbent layer serve as seamless leak guards.
