Abstract
This invention provides a sanitary napkin of the type emplacement in the inner crotch portion of an undergarment. The napkin comprises a central absorbent element having flaps extending from each of its longitudinal edges. The flaps extend to a sufficient length to allow the flaps to overlie the outer crotch portion of an undergarment with the flaps being sufficiently drapable so as to allow each to fold about the crotch portion at any of an infinite number of lines lying essentially parallel to the junction line between the absorbent element and each flap. Accordingly, when the sanitary napkin is applied to crotch portions of varying width, the napkin will conform to the dimensions of the crotch and be emplaced without wrinkling.
