Abstract

The present invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly sanitary napkins or panty liners, made for joining to the undergarment of a wearer. Such articles are typically joined to the undergarment of a wearer while the wearer has the undergarment stretched between the legs. In this stretched position, the undergarment has an extended surface, Upon pulling the undergarment up into the wearing position, the undergarment retracts and thereby causes the attached absorbent article also to retract. According to the present invention, the absorbent articles are rendered contractible at least in one of the directions of retraction of the undergarment to reduce wrinkling or folding of the absorbent article.
