A thermoplastic, water-dispersible, biodegradable composition of matter which is resistant to fungal attack prior to dispersal, and containers and the like made therefrom. The composition comprises hydroxyalkyl cellulose, starch, and a member selected from the group consisting of sorbic acid and its alkali metal salts as the anti-fungal agent. Only a member of this group is found to be an effective anti-fungal agent in the composition of the invention.

An absorbent nether garment liner is provided which comprises an absorbent layer having a first and second major surface and exhibiting an elongation under tensile stress which is recoverable and such stress is relaxed. A body fluid impervious layer overlies and is adhered to the first major surface of the absorbent layer, said body fluid impervious layer exhibiting less recoverable elongation than the absorbent layer. The absorbent layer is adhered to the impervious layer while the former is under tension and hence, elongated. Accordingly, the absorbent nether garment liner will assume a non-planar arcuate shape.
