Absorbent devices, and more particularly absorbent devices that are worn interlabially by female wearers for catamenial purposes, incontinence protection, or both, are disclosed. The interlabial absorbent device of the present invention comprises a main absorbent portion and a pair of flexible extensions joined to the main absorbent portion. The main absorbent portion has a distal surface and comprises an acquisition member and at least one storage member, in fluid communication with the acquisition member, that is disposed laterally outboard of the acquisition member. In use, the distal surface of the main absorbent portion is positioned furthest inward into the space between the wearer's labia majora. The pair of flexible extensions extends downwardly and laterally outward from the distal surface, and preferably is capable of maintaining contact with the inside surfaces of the wearer's labia majora when the wearer's body goes through a range of motions, including squatting. Additionally, the flexible extensions are preferably capable of covering the fingertips of the wearer as the absorbent device is inserted into the interlabial space. The interlabial device further preferably comprises a backsheet that is disposed on the surface of the flexible extensions that is opposite the body contacting surface thereof and on all surfaces of the main absorbent portion except the proximal surface.

Cette invention se rapporte à des dispositifs absorbants et plus particulièrement à des dispositifs absorbants portés par les utilisatrices féminines en position interlabiale, à des fins de protection cataméniale et/ou de protection contre l'incontinence. Ce dispositif absorbant interlabial comprend une partie absorbante principale et une paire d'extensions flexibles jointes à la partie absorbante principale. La partie absorbante principale présente une surface distale et comprend un élément d'acquisition et au moins un élément de retenue, en communication fluidique avec l'élément d'acquisition et disposé latéralement à l'extérieur de l'élément d'acquisition. Lors de l'utilisation, la surface distale de la partie absorbante principale est placée plus profondément à l'intérieur de l'espace compris entre les grandes lèvres de l'utilisatrice. Les deux extensions flexibles s'étendent vers le bas et latéralement vers l'extérieur à partir de la surface distale et elles sont de préférence capables de maintenir le contact avec les surfaces internes des grandes lèvres de l'utilisatrice, quels que soient les mouvements qu'elle effectue ou les positions de son corps, y compris la position accroupie. Les extensions flexibles sont en outre en mesure de couvrir les extrémités des doigts de l'utilisatrice, lors de l'insertion du dispositif absorbant dans l'espace interlabial. Ce dispositif interlabial comprend en outre de préférence une feuille de dos qui est disposée sur la surface des extensions flexibles opposée à sa surface en contact avec le corps et sur toutes les surfaces de la partie absorbante principale, à l'exception de la surface proximale.
