Abstract
The disposable absorbent sanitary article includes an absorbent pad placed between a liquid impervious external backing sheet and a hydrophobic internal covering sheet provided with a central opening extending over the absorbent pad. A first set of elastic members is fixed to the backing sheet and to the covering sheet along external edges thereof at least in a crotch area thereof and a second set of elastic members is fixed to the covering sheet along longitudinal edges of the central opening. Two hydrophobic flaps are each realized by fixing a first longitudinal edge of a strip of hydrophobic material close to an external longitudinal edge of the absorbent pad, and a second longitudinal edge to a lower face of the covering sheet close to the elastic members of the second set.
