Abstract
A sanitary napkin has a strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the intergluteal crevice. The pad fits snugly against the body without penetrating. Because the strip provides improved body contact, similar protection is achieved with a smaller pad, thus providing a discretion benefit to the wearer.
