Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a disposable absorbent article such as an incontinent pad (20) that is both comfortable and suitable for absorbing and containing large volumes of body liquids rapidly without leakage, especially a subsequent gush of liquid. Such an absorbent article comprises a liquid pervious topsheet (22), a liquid impervious backsheet (24), a layered expandable absorbent core (26) positioned between the topsheet (22) and the backsheet (24), at least two resilient shaping members (28), an acquisition channel (30), a liquid acquisition zone (50) and at least two liquid impervious shelves (58, 60). The present invention also relates to an absorbent article provided with an expandable overwrap (21) having an expansion means for allowing the overwrap to expand when the absorbent core (26) swells when wetted. The resilient shaping members (28) of the present invention provide an improved absorbent article design having raised side edges and an acquisition channel (30). The resilient shaping members (28) are a compressible, conformable, resilient, and moisture insensitive batt of fibers so that the resilient shaping members (28) will retain their shape even when wetted.
