Abstract
This invention involves a device forming a sanitary napkin. The device includes a preformed, usually biconcave fluid-absorbent pad component (2) defining a biconcave central area (8) of reduced width, entirely arranged inside a covering (10) which is permeable to said fluids, and a layer (16) made of a component impermeable to fluids which is inserted between the pad component (2) and said covering (10), characterized in that said covering (10) is designed with a width (L) larger than width (l) of said pad component (2) at the level of said biconcave reduced-width area (8), thus defining side wings or flaps (20, 22) that are sealed together. This device improves lateral tightness while providing excellent comfort.
