  • Publication number: 20040126519
    Abstract: A disposable, solids-entrapping secondary article includes a liquid-permeable pad having a body-facing surface. The body-facing surface of the pad defines an opening providing access to an internal void defined within the pad. The internal void is sized and positioned within the pad to collect and retain solid wastes. Optionally, the secondary article further includes a liquid-permeable body-side liner. The body-side liner defines an opening that aligns with the opening defined in the body-facing surface of the pad to permit passage of solid waste material through the body-side liner and into the internal void of the pad. The solids-entrapping secondary article of the present invention reduces contact between solid wastes and the skin of the wearer, and presents a drier body-facing surface to the skin of the wearer.
