Claims22
A disposable absorbent article comprising:
- an outer shell comprising layers of non-woven material including an outer layer and an inner layer providing an inside surface;
- and
- a detachable disposable absorbent core insert supported on said inside surface of the outer shell, the core insert being attached to said inside surface and detachable therefrom;
- and
- wherein said inside surface further includes a single retaining structure, formed therein, for receiving said absorbent core insert, the core insert being attachable with said retaining structure and detachable from said retaining structure;
- and
- wherein said retaining structure includes a depression formed by said inner layer of said inside surface, and protruding outwardly, relative to the core insert, said depression forming a part of the inside surface detachably engageable with said core insert.
