Abstract: A sanitary napkin that includes an elongate liquid-absorbent main pad body shaped to fit between a woman's thighs, an upper cover to promote flow to the body, a bottom cover to prevent flow out the bottom of the body, a vertical raised elongate pad section extending upwardly to an upper convex arcuate edge to extend between the labia of a woman but not into the woman's vagina, and wicking material extending from the raised elongate pad section to the main pad body to promote flow from the raised section to the main pad body.
