Abstract: In one embodiment, a packaged absorbent article includes: a package and an absorbent article. The package includes a first end, a second end, and package sides extending from the first end to the second end. The first end is folded along a first fold axis toward the second end such that the package sides fold over toward an inner major surface to form a pouch with pouch sides, and the second end folded along a second fold axis toward the pouch to form a flap. The absorbent article includes a fluid permeable cover disposed over an absorbent member. The article is folded along a longitudinal axis, and the folded absorbent article is disposed in the pouch with the fluid permeable cover disposed adjacent the inner major surface. The package flap engages at least a portion of the pouch.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a water dispersible pantiliner which has a triggerably dispersible body side facing liner, a garment side facing baffle, and, optionally, a triggerably dispersible absorbent core disposed between the liner and baffle. The garment baffle may be biodegradable. In one embodiment, the invention has a peel strip overlaying a garment attachment adhesive layer which adhesively attaches the peel strip to the clothing of a wearer on one side and to one side of a baffle on the other. The baffle is in turn attached on a second side to a body facing side with a construction adhesive. The body facing side may be made from multiple layers such as a body side liner and absorbent layer.
