Abstract: A method of individually packaging a single-use disposable diaper for use in intimate absorption of body fluid includes compressing a single-use disposable diaper for use in intimate absorption of body fluid from a first condition to a second, compressed condition, and retaining the single-use disposable diaper in the second, compressed condition with a pressure differential that acts upon a substantially flexible, substantially air impermeable material to maintain the single-use disposable diaper in the compressed condition. The pressure differential is created by locating the single-use disposable diaper in an interior space of a substantially air impermeable, substantially flexible material, creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and hermetically sealing the single-use disposable diaper at the negative pressure within the flexible material.

Abstract: A method for packaging training pants for use in intimate absorption of body fluid to yield a single individually packaged pair of training pants for use in intimate absorption of body fluid that is compact and portable includes the steps of compressing the training pants such that a volume of the training pants is reduced by at least 30% without folding of the training pants and without rolling of the training pants and retaining the training pants in the compressed condition by hermetically sealing the training pants at a negative pressure within an interior space of a flexible material such that a pressure differential acts upon the flexible material to maintain the training pants in the compressed condition. The training pants are the only training pants located within the interior space of the flexible material.

Abstract: A method of traveling with a single-use intimate feminine absorbent article on one's person includes the steps of packaging a single-use intimate feminine absorbent article such that the packaged single-use intimate feminine absorbent article is dimensioned to fit within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person. This packaging includes locating the single-use intimate feminine absorbent article in an interior space, creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and hermetically sealing the single-use intimate feminine absorbent article at the negative pressure within the interior space. The method further includes placing said packaged single-use intimate feminine absorbent article in a pocket and traveling with said packaged single-use intimate feminine absorbent article in the pocket of the article of clothing on one's person.

Abstract: A method for packaging an intimate feminine absorbent article for use in intimate absorption of body fluid to yield a single individually packaged intimate feminine absorbent article for use in intimate absorption of body fluid that is compact and portable includes the steps of compressing the single-use disposable intimate feminine absorbent article from a first condition to a second, compressed condition and retaining the single-use disposable intimate feminine absorbent article in the second, compressed condition by locating the single-use disposable intimate feminine absorbent article in an interior space defined by a substantially flexible, substantially air impermeable material, creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and hermetically sealing the single-use disposable intimate feminine absorbent article at the negative pressure within the interior space of the flexible material such that a pressure differential acts upon the flexible material to maintain the single-use disposable intimat

Abstract: A packaged intimate feminine absorbent article that is compact and portable includes packaging made from a substantially flexible, substantially air impermeable material and an intimate feminine absorbent article contained within said packaging in a compressed condition, wherein said packaging is hermetically sealed and a negative pressure exists within said packaging such that said intimate feminine absorbent article is maintained in said compressed condition.

Abstract: Individually packaged training pants that are compact and portable includes packaging made from a substantially flexible, substantially air impermeable material and training pants contained within said packaging in a compressed condition, wherein said packaging is hermetically sealed and a negative pressure exists within said packaging such that said training pants are maintained in said compressed condition.

Abstract: A method of traveling with training pants on one's person includes the steps of packaging training pants such that the packaged training pants are dimensioned to fit within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person. The training pants are hermetically sealed at a negative pressure within an interior space of a substantially air impermeable, substantially flexible material such that, when placed within a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, a pressure differential acts upon the substantially air impermeable, substantially flexible material to maintain the training pants in the compressed condition. The method further includes placing said packaged training pants in a pocket of an article of clothing on one's person, and traveling with said packaged training pants in the pocket of the article of clothing on one's person.

Abstract: A method of individually packaging an intimate feminine absorbent article such that the packaged intimate feminine absorbent article is dimensioned to fit within the pocket of an article of clothing to be worn on one's person includes compressing the intimate feminine absorbent article from a first condition to a second, compressed condition and retaining the intimate feminine absorbent article in the second, compressed condition with a pressure differential that acts upon a substantially flexible, substantially air impermeable material to maintain the intimate feminine absorbent article in the compressed condition. The pressure differential is created by locating the intimate feminine absorbent article in an interior space of a substantially flexible material, creating a negative pressure within the interior space, and hermetically sealing the intimate feminine absorbent article at the negative pressure within the flexible material.

Abstract: A packaged diaper that is compact and portable comprises a diaper that is vacuum-packaged.
