Abstract: A unique feminine hygiene pad includes a tail that extends rearwardly from a main portion of the pad to be received within the buttocks of a wearer. The tail insures that there will be no leakage flow rearwardly into the buttocks of the wearer, as has typically occurred with prior art pads. In addition, a positioning point is formed on a main absorbent portion of the pad which properly positions the pad relative to the vagina of a wearer. In this way, it can be assured that the pad is properly positioned, and a minimum sized pad can be utilized.
