Abstract
An absorbent article is provided which is capable of rapidly absorbing gushes of menstrual fluid, comprising an upper plate and a lower plate which are spaced apart from each other, and wherein a plurality of openings extend through the upper plate. The openings are large enough to allow easy passage of the fluid to the interior of the article and the plates are spaced apart to allow each flow of the fluid in the x-y plane.
