| abstract |
A disposable nursing pad is provided which comprises a flat but stretchable and conformable body constructed of a plurality of substantially coextensive layers and having a fibrous facing layer, an absorbent inner layer and a moisture-impervious backing layer. The coextensive layers may be constructed of compressively shrunk fabrics. The several layers of the pad are secured together at a plurality of circumferentially spaced zones by means of solidified, flexible strands of resin containing fibers therein, introduced by liquid stitching; or by sonically welding the layers of the pad together at the spaced zones. |
