ABSTRACT An anatomically form-fitting, self-adjusting disposable garment comprising a stretchable outer cover, fixed position fasteners attached to the outer cover and an absorbent structure with elastic members in the crotch area causing the absorbent structure to assume a cupped shape when secured on a wearer. The garment has a pair of longitudinal- ly opposed end portions with the crotch portion, which is situated between the end portions, having opposed marginal sides defining a pair of leg openings. A pair of leg elastic members is connected to each of the marginal sides to elasticize the leg openings to aid in conforming the garment to a wearer at the leg openings. The elastic members in the crotch area are connected to the liner along at least the crotch portion of the absorbent structure with one of each of these elastic members spaced inwardly from each of the leg elastic members. The elastic members attached to the liner are arranged to elasticize a pair of liner portions which extend spaced from the outer cover, these elastic members gathering and forming of the liner into a trough with extendable margins so that the elastic members hold the liner against the skin of the wearer along the extendable margins and provide barriers to reduce the sideways flow of urine and feces and restrict leakage at the leg openings when the garment is securely worn.
