Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary absorbent article and to a component layer thereof than can be produced with less waste material.
The invention also extends to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing the sanitary absorbent article and the component layer. The method is characterized by the step of cutting a continuous web of material to form a pair of sanitary absorbent articles, each article including a pair of laterally projecting flaps. The contour of each article is selected so the flaps can fit close to one another with the flaps of two adjacent articles contacting one another at their sides rather than the lateral extremities. This arrangement allows to bring the main bodies of the sanitary articles close to one another, thus reducing the inter-article waste.
