Abstract
A disposable absorbent garment having a backing layer, an inner layer, and an absorbent pad therebetween. The inner layer comprises an integral sheet having an opening extending therethrough through which exudates may move into a pocket formed between the backing and inner layers. A pair of elongate elastic members are secured to the inner layer in opposed, substantially mirror image curvilinear paths which overlap to encircle the opening. A method for producing such a garment also is described.
