Abstract
An attachment system and a method of attaching an absorbent article to an undergarment is disclosed. The attachment system includes an absorbent article having an absorbent, a liquid permeable cover and a liquid-permeable baffle. The cover and baffle cooperate to enclose the absorbent and form a pad having a garment facing surface, at least a portion of which is coated with a first cohesive-adhesive. The attachment system also includes an undergarment which is designed to be worn about the torso of a human body. The undergarment has a crotch portion which is at least partially coated with a second cohesive-adhesive. The absorbent article is positioned on and held secure to the crotch portion of the undergarment by cohering the first cohesive-adhesive to the second cohesive-adhesive.
