The present invention relates to water vapour permeable absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, and incontinence pads which are adhered to an undergarment during use. More particularly the present invention relates to articles which have a water vapour permeable backsheet and which have a flexibility in a longitudinal direction and which by way of a specific adhesive configuration can be particularly well adhered to the undergarment in order to provide improved comfort to the wearer of the article. n The backsheet comprises a liquid impervious but water vapour permeable polymeric film layer with molecular size apertures and at least one additional layer of fibrous fabric. n The panty liner embodiment is very thin; in the range of 0,5mm to 1,5mm. |
