Abstract
A panty liner which includes active additives, such as lactobacilli. The liner includes a liquid-permeable top sheet which lies proximal to the wearer in use, a liquid-impermeable backing sheet which lies distal from the wearer in use, possibly an intermediate absorbent layer, and possibly fastener means. The panty liner is manufactured in a manner such that the active additives, preferably lactobacillus, are given a sufficiently effective and dry environment to ensure a healthy survival rate of the additives until the product is used.
