A sanitary napkin has a strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the intergluteal crevice. The pad is sized and configured to fit snugly against the wearer's body without penetrating the vaginal orifice. The strip provides improved body contact thus providing similar protection with a smaller pad and a discretion benefit to the user. The invention provides various alternative mechanisms for varying the length of the strip by the user.

A fitted mattress pad has a flat top portion with a skirt portion depending from its sides and edges. At least part of the skirt portion has frictional holding means for holding the mattress pad securely in place over a mattress. The frictional holding means help to grip the mattress and keep the mattress pad from shifting during use.

A sanitary napkin is disclosed with flange sealing means for protecting the body-facing surface from dirt and deformation until the napkin is ready for use. The seal is provided by a wrapping member which extends over at least a portion of the absorbent element of the napkin. Upon folding the napkin about a transverse axis, the wrapping member is adhered to itself by an adhesive to protect the napkin.
