Abstract
A distinctive absorbent article includes a backsheet layer, a substantially liquid-permeable liner layer, and an absorbent body located between the backsheet and liner layers. The backsheet and liner layers generally define a front waistband section, a rear waistband section and an intermediate section of the article, with the intermediate section interconnecting the front and rear waistband sections. A resilient barrier member is located in the intermediate section of the article, and includes at least a portion which extends generally transversely along the article cross-direction. The barrier member extends toward the body of the wearer and operably inhibits the longitudinal movement of liquid or viscous waste materials between the front and rear waistband sections of the article.
