Abstract

Provided are absorbent sanitary protection products for direct attachment to the skin and hair of a user. The products comprise an absorbent core, a barrier layer coupled to one side of the core and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the side of the core that faces the body of a user. The pressure sensitive adhesive has sufficient adhesive strength to enable the product to adhere securely to the skin and hair of the user and yet to be removed without pain or trauma. Products described include those that are restricted to covering and adhering to the perineal area as well as those having ancillary structures to attach to body structures beyond the perineal area. Additionally disclosed is a packaged arrangement of the products of the invention for which little or no release paper is required.
