Abstract

An absorbent article comprises a liquid permeable topsheet; a liquid impermeable backsheet joined to the topsheet; an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a soft resilient member attached to the absorbent core or outside of the core which will preferentially deform, bend or lift in a predictable manner when lateral pressure is applied to the pad, wherein the resilient member consists of at least two distinct pieces of foam.
