Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides an article and method for packaging an array of flexible absorbent articles compressed or uncompressed. Absorbent articles have a front face, a back face, a top face, a bottom face, and a pair of side faces. An upper section and a lower section have mutually different calipers. Absorbent articles are placed in a configuration such that front faces are in a contacting relationship with the front faces of adjacent absorbent articles. A flexible outer casing over the array of absorbent articles having a first region and a second region and the upper and lower sections of the absorbent articles are distributed over the first and second regions of the array. A difference in the sizes of the first and second regions is at least about 10% smaller than when all of the upper sections of the absorbent articles are located in the same region of the array.
