Abstract My sanitary napkin has a filler of sponge rubber which is enclosed in a cover whose top piece covers the top of the filler and which has an elongated opening that registers with an elongated recess formed in the top of the filler. The bottom piece of the cover, which is treated with a waterproofing agent, is in two halves and the inner edges of these two halves overlap each other. The outer edges of both of the top and bottom pieces are stitched together so as to enclose the filler. A special liner covers the floor and side walls of the elongated recess in the top of the filler and this liner has tabs that are sewn to the undersurface of the top piece. The ends of the cover extend beyond the ends of the filler and are provided with snaps for attachment to a sanitary belt. The cover ends have transversely extending slots disposed near the ends of the filler and when the sanitary napkin is worn with panties, the outermost cover ends are looped back on themselves and inserted through the slots so as to underlie the napkin, and the snaps nearest the filler are used to attach the napkin to the panties.
A sanitary napkin comprising: a. a cover having top and bottom portions secured together along their perimeters with the bottom portion being made waterproof, said cover having a narrow middle portion with outwardly flared front and rear portions; and b. a filler receivable in said cover and having a narrow middle portion occupying the narrow middle portion of said cover and having outwardly flared front and rear portions occupying the outwardly flared front and rear portions of said cover; c. the outwardly flared front and rear portions of said cover having inwardly extending edges lying beyond said outwardly flared front and rear portions and forming wedge-shaped integral front and rear tongues for the cover, each tongue having a transverse slot therein disposed near the widest part of the tongue and permitting the outer end of each tongue to be doubled back on itself with the end of the tongue being threaded through the adjacent slot.
