Pantiliner

The sanitary napkin of claim 15, wherein said superabsorbent material comprises superabsorbent fibers.

A sanitary napkin comprising a fluid permeable topsheet, a fluid permeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween, wherein,

• a. said absorbent core comprises relatively hydrophilic airlaid nonwoven material having fibrous AGM and defining a core outer periphery;
• b. said topsheet and said backsheet comprise relatively hydrophobic spunbonded nonwoven material, said topsheet and said backsheet defining a sanitary napkin outer periphery that is larger than said core outer periphery, the area between said core outer periphery and said sanitary napkin outer periphery being a breathable zone that completely surrounds the core outer periphery, such that vapors can permeate completely through said sanitary napkin in said breathable zone;
• c. said sanitary napkin further comprising a fluid impermeable barrier between said backsheet and said absorbent core, said fluid impermeable barrier being disposed adjacent to said absorbent core and within said core outer periphery.

A thin absorbent pantiliner comprising a fluid permeable topsheet, a fluid permeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween, wherein,

• a. said absorbent core has a basis weight of between about 50 gsm and 100 gsm, said absorbent core comprising relatively hydrophilic airlaid nonwoven material having at least about 5 wt % AGM fiber content and defining a core outer periphery;
• b. said topsheet and said backsheet comprise relatively hydrophobic fluid repellent spunbonded nonwoven material, said topsheet and said backsheet defining a pantiliner outer periphery that is larger than said core outer periphery, the area between said core outer periphery and said pantiliner outer periphery being a breathable zone that completely surrounds the core outer periphery, such that vapors can permeate completely through said pantiliner in said breathable zone;
• c. said sanitary napkin further comprising a liquid impermeable barrier between said backsheet and said absorbent core, said fluid impermeable barrier being a polyethylene film disposed adjacent to said core and within said core outer periphery.
