Abstract
An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article is a pad that includes a top cover and a lower baffle. The absorbent article also includes a shaping element. The shaping element is folded within the top cover and the absorbent article. The fold is directed toward the baffle. The top cover therefore forms a terminal seam on the lower surface of the baffle. A process is also disclosed. The process includes folding the shaping element into the edges of the top cover and the baffle as the top cover and the baffle form a single fold.
