A fluid absorbent sanitary article, such as pantiliner, is provided for use with a panty garment. The liner is attachable to the panty crotch by means of adhesive. The liner is elastic in at least one direction, has a thickness of less than 2mm, and is flexible. The liner is composed of a layer of absorbent material joined by an adhesive connection face-to-face with a backsheet, and optionally by a further adhesive connection to a topsheet. At least one of the components of the pantiliner is eleastic, any inelastic components being stretchable. Preferably, at least one of the adhesive connections is elastic. The liner has a low pad set. A stretchable adhesive is applied to a major portion of the surface of the article for adhesive attachment of the article to an undergarment, the adhesive extending at least substantially to its perimeter over a major portion of the perimeter. Alternatively, a stretchable adhesive is applied to a major portion of the surface of the article, the adhesive extending at least substantially to its perimeter over a major portion of the perimeter. |
