Abstract

The invention provides a disposable urinary and fecal waste containment product suitable for active adults. The product has a high liquid impact capacity, high liquid retention, contains fecal waste without leakage and allows the skin of the wearer to remain dry. The product has a liquid-impermeable substantially flexible shell containing a superstructure associated with an absorbent medium and a rear portion with a superstructure of three-dimensional characteristics with sufficient friction to prevent movement of fecal matter laterally.
