Absorbent Article Having a Fit Guide

An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and adapted to be worn in an undergarment having a crotch portion bounded on opposite sides by portions of curved leg openings, said absorbent article comprising a main body portion, said main body portion comprising a liquid pervious body-facing surface, a liquid impervious garment facing surface, and an absorbent core positioned between said body-facing surface and said garment-facing surface, said absorbent article comprising:

• a. first and second flaps, said flaps extending laterally outwardly from longitudinal edges of said absorbent article, each said flap being adapted to be folded over one of said portions of curved leg openings;
• b. at least one indicator marker visible from said body-facing surface, said indicator markers disposed to indicate proper alignment of said absorbent article with respect to said curved leg openings.

An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline perpendicular to said longitudinal centerline, wherein said absorbent article is not symmetric about said transverse centerline, said absorbent article adapted to be worn in an undergarment having a crotch portion bounded on opposite sides by portions of curved leg openings, said absorbent article comprising a main body portion, said main body portion comprising a liquid pervious body-facing surface, a liquid impervious garment facing surface, and an absorbent core positioned between said body-facing surface and said garment-facing surface, said absorbent article further comprising:

• a. first and second flaps, said flaps extending laterally outwardly from longitudinal edges of said absorbent article, each said flap being adapted to be folded over one of said portions of curved leg openings;
• b. at least one indicator marker visible from said body-facing surface, said indicator markers disposed to indicate proper alignment of said absorbent article with respect to said curved leg openings, said indicator marker having a ratio of length to width of at least about 1.5 and being oriented at an angle from the longitudinal axis of between about 10 degrees and about 30 degrees.
