Abstract:
The invention includes a customizable absorbent article having an extensible body facing layer and an extensible garment facing layer, both having a first end and a second end. The first and second ends are spaced along a longitudinal axis and the body facing and garment facing layers are extensible along the longitudinal axis. The article further includes either a non-extensible or a resilient absorbent core which is disposed between the body facing layer and the garment facing layer. The absorbent core may be affixed to at least one of the body facing and the garment facing layer at at least one location between the first and second ends. Different configurations of the absorbent core may be disposed between the body facing layer and the garment facing layer to increase the customizability of the absorbent article of the present invention.
