The napkin is capable of being rolled or folded and self-sealed for disposal and includes one or more flaps extending transversely from one end of the backing layer. The flap or flaps are wrapped around the edges of the rolled or folded napkin and sealed by adhesive means on the other end of the backing layer. Preferred adhesive means serve a dual purpose of providing for attachment to the undergarment and providing for sealing of the napkin prior to disposal.
