Abstract: The invention shows a protective, lightweight, disposable woman's hygienic panty for removeably carrying a feminine napkin during a woman's menstrual cycle or period. A relatively thin, lightweight, disposable, biodegradable, mesh-like outer panty shell is affixed to or contiguous with a relatively thick inner layer of absorbent material operably disposed about the inner surface of a lower body portion proximate at least the lower one half of the panty. Alternately, an inner shell or liner of relatively thick absorbent material having a pad-receiving depression can be fitted, temporarily or permanently, into ordinary menstrual panties or common panties or briefs. An elongated, nearly rectangular depression or indentation having oval end portions is included or formed in the relatively thick layer for carrying, aligning, or positioning a feminine napkin.
