Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A shaped absorbent structure (18) includes a batt (21) of absorbent material with a front region (30) terminating in a first longitudinal end (31), a back region (32) terminating in a second longitudinal end (33), and a crotch region (35). First and second sides (37,39), which each have a curved shape, extend between the first and second longitudinal ends (31,33). Regions (50) of relatively high compression of the batt (21) extend substantially continuously along each of the first and second sides (37,39), inboard of each of the sides, and track the curved shapes of the respective first and second sides. The absorbent structure (18) can be positioned in an outer shell (12) and an acquisition layer (20) as well as a bodyside liner (22) are positioned above same to make up an absorbent structure (10).
