Prebent, anatomically shaped, self-aligning absorbent products comprising a fluid permeable body facing cover, an absorbent element, a central, partially longitudinally disposed core, and a flexible, moisture barrier having partially longitudinally disposed permanent creases proximate to the longitudinal edges of the moisture barrier, are provided. Such products generally have a convex shape in the approximate center portion of the body facing surface which shape allows the product to conform to the body and more closely approximate the source of fluid discharge thereby reducing unwanted movement or misalignment which may result in leakage. Such products further generally have an hourglass shape which complements the general contour of the inside surfaces of the thighs.
An absorbent pad comprising longitudinal and transverse edges, a center portion located between and approximately equidistant from each longitudinal edge and between and approximately equidistant from each transverse edge, a fluid permeable body facing cover having a body facing side and a garment facing side, an absorbent element, a central, partially longitudinally disposed core, and a flexible, moisture barrier having a garment facing side and a body facing side and having partially longitudinally disposed permanent creases proximate to the longitudinal edges of the garment facing side of said moisture barrier, wherein said absorbent pad has a convex shape in the center portion of the body facing cover.
