Abstract

A disposable garment used with an insert pad. The disposable garment has a longitudinal centerline, a transverse centerline, a crotch region, a front region and a back region. The disposable garment comprises an outer cover and an absorbent assembly joined inside the outer cover. The absorbent assembly has a longitudinal centerline, a transverse centerline, longitudinal sides and transverse ends. The absorbent assembly comprises a backsheet, an absorbent material disposed inside the backsheet and an elastic member extending in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent assembly to longitudinally elasticize a portion of the absorbent assembly. The absorbent assembly has a center crotch portion and a periphery portion, each portion having an absorbent capacity per unit area. The absorbent capacity per unit area of the center crotch portion is less than that of the periphery portion. The absorbent assembly is treated to increase stiffness.
