Abstract
A sanitary napkin having a front flap that adhesively attaches to the user's undergarment and a tail strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the user's intergluteal crevice. The pad thus fits more snugly against the body of the user. Further, because the strip provides improved body contact, similar protection is achieved with a smaller pad, thus providing a discretion.
