Absorbent article having wings with non-bunching/twisting security

An absorbent article ( 20 ) has a longitudinal-direction ( 22 ), a lateral cross-direction ( 24 ), an intermediate portion ( 76 ) interposed between a pair of longitudinally opposed end portions, and a pair of longitudinally-extending, laterally-opposed side edge regions. The article comprises a backsheet ( 28 ), a liquid-permeable topsheet ( 26 ) and an absorbent body ( 30 ) sandwiched between the backsheet ( 28 ) and the topsheet ( 26 ). At least one pair of wing-panels ( 42, 42 ) are operatively joined to the intermediate portion ( 76 ) of the article ( 20 ). Each wing-panel ( 42, 42 ) extends laterally from at least one corresponding lateral side edge region, and each wing-panel ( 42, 42 ) is configured to wrap about a wearer's undergarment. A panel fastener ( 44, 44 a) can be joined to each wing-panel ( 42, 42 ), with each panel fastener ( 44, 44 a) configured to operatively secure its corresponding wing-panel ( 42, 42 ) about the undergarment. In a particular aspect, an overall total, wing-panel area in a first lateral-half ( 60 ) of the article can be bilaterally asymmetric with respect to an overall total, wing-panel area in a second lateral-half ( 60 a) of the article. In another aspect, each panel fastener ( 44, 44 a) can be configured to attach to the undergarment of the wearer at an attachment location which has a fastener end-spacing ( 70 ). In desired arrangements, the fastener end-spacing can be not more than about 18% of an overall length ( 48 ) of the absorbent body ( 30 ).
