Abstract
A disposable absorbent article, e.g., a diaper, adult incontinent brief, shield, insert, pad, etc., with significantly improved leakage control, particularly for loose fecal matter. The article includes a barrier panel secured to at least the back waist portion of the article. The barrier panel includes a body-friendly pressure sensitive adhesive, which is arranged to be selectively exposed, if desired, to enable the adhesive to be releasably secured to the skin of the wearer. This securement forms a liquid resistant barrier to the egress of loose fecal material from the waist portion of the article. The body-friendly adhesive is arranged to be covered when its use is not desired.
