Abstract
A feminine hygiene pad having a wide absorbent front portion and a narrower, elongated rear portion of sufficient length to be retained between the buttocks of a user to better fit against the user's body and thereby control rearward leakage of fluid. The hygienic pad is smaller and better fitting and can be worn more discreetly with small sized and tight fitting garments.
