Abstract
A method of manufacturing absorbent articles ( ) in the form of sanitary napkins, panty liners or incontinence protectors for women, includes the step of cutting a web ( ) of protective layer material with a sequence of pairs of cuts ( ) which are so spaced apart so that when the web ( ) of protective layer material is placed on a web ( ) of article blanks the two cuts ( ) in each pair of cuts in the sequence of pairs of cuts will lie linearly between the points of connection of flaps ( ) with the longitudinal edges of each article. The thus cut web ( ) of protective layer material is then placed on the web ( ) of article blanks and individual articles ( ) are cut from the composite web ( ) in a second cutting step that defines the periphery of the articles.
