A sanitary napkin is provided which is capable of transmitting viscous menstrual fluid into the absorbent portion of the napkin without cover runoff. The napkin has a fluid permeable cover which is integrated with a portion of the absorbent matrix. This portion of the absorbent matrix is also designed to provide increased comfort, initially during use, and after the napkin has become wet.

Sanitary napkin with improved comfort

A process is provided for making a panty liner type of feminine napkin having an absorbent pad and a fluid permeable cover which is coterminous with the absorbent pad at each of the longitudinal ends. The process involves adhering the wrap to the pad with a water-based emulsion adhesive, selectively moistening the pad and compressing the coterminous longitudinal ends.
