Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a washable and reusable absorbent undergarment includes an absorbent assembly, including a wearer facing top layer, a moisture barrier layer, and one or more intermediate layers, wherein the absorbent assembly defines a circumferential outer edge and a circumferential margin extending along the circumferential outer edge. The circumferential margin includes one or more sealed margin portions, each sealed margin portion including a fluid seal providing a continuous sealing between the wearer facing top layer and the moisture barrier so as to hinder fluid leakage from an area inside the circumferential margin to the outside of the circumferential outer edge via the sealed margin portion; and the circumferential margin further including one or more unsealed margin portions.
