Highly efficient absorbent articles for wearing by a human female such as
sanitary napkins, panty liners, and adult incontinence pads. In use, the absorbent
articles preferably maintain contact with and cover at least a portion of the inside
surfaces of the wearer's labia, the exterior surfaces of the wearer's labia, and
the supporting garment. The absorbent articles are highly flexible, having flexure
resistance of less than or equal to about 100 grams. The absorbent may be flat
or cup-shaped.
