Abstract
The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles like sanitary napkins and pantiliners, which comprise spore-forming micro-organisms and/or spores which have the ability to germinate into microorganisms which exhibit antagonistic properties against undesirable strains of microorganisms when the articles are in use. The invention provides storage-stable disposable absorbent articles which can be worn for long periods of time with reduced generation of undesirable odors and enhanced fluid (e.g., bodily fluid) control within the articles.
