In absorbent products, such as sanitary napkins, discreet areas of dry fibrous materials such as fluid-repellent materials are precisely placed in various planes within the product so as to provide barriers to bodily fluid leakage from the product. In a preferred embodiment, hydrophobic fibers are placed around the periphery of a central absorbent area of an absorbent product to discourage and/or prevent side or end leakage from the product.

Selective placement of absorbent product materials in sanitary napkins

A thin absorbent product for adhesive attachment to a wearer's garment is provided with means for resisting deformation when worn or applied. Such means comprise providing on the garment facing major surface of the absorbent pad of such product, a densified, compacted, porous, absorbent, fibrous layer having a particulate hydrocolloid material distributed therein. Said densified layer provides the product with planar crush resistance.
