Abstract: A sanitary article comprises a longitudinal main body defining opposite longitudinal ends and opposite lateral sides and comprising an upper part, a lower part and an absorbent core therebetween attached together at a common central portion of the longitudinal main body. The upper part and the lower part are separated from each other at the lateral sides of longitudinal main body to define separate lateral upper part and lower part portions at each of the lateral sides. The upper part comprises a liquid pervious body contacting surface. The lower part comprising a garment contacting surface.

Abstract: A diaper comprises a bottom layer and a top layer mounted thereto. The bottom layer defines a top surface and an opposite outer surface and comprises an absorbent core therebetween. The top layer is mounted to the bottom layer about a peripheral border thereof. The top layer defines a top layer area delimited by the peripheral border overtying the top surface and being unconnected to the bottom layer. The top layer area, the top surface and the peripheral border define a pouch therebetween. The top layer area defines a body contacting surface and an opening for providing access to the pouch. When the diaper is worn by the user, the opening is positioned about the anus of a user for providing for fecal matter to enter the porch during defecation.

Abstract: A sanitary article comprises a longitudinal main body bounded by a perimeter defining opposite ends and opposite lateral margins and comprising a body contacting surface and an opposite outer surface. At least one removable portion extends from at least one segment of the perimeter. A tear line is defined between at least one removable portion and the at least one segment for providing selective detachment therebetween. The at least one segment of the perimeter is positioned at an opposite end and/or an opposite lateral margin.
