Abstract
Abstract A disposable sanitary pad or napkin having a flush-disposable absorbent pad on the upper side and a flush-disposable backing of paper or similar material, with a thin flexible layer of liquidretarding material (such as a greasy or waxlike material) between the two, so that liquid from the pad cannot reach the backing to dissolve it, but liquid reaching the backing from its exposed side will disintegrate it so that it can be disposed of by flushing in a toilet, the thin layer being unable to remain as a film without the support of the backing material, so that it also disintegrates when the backing material disintegrates.
