Zusammenfassung:A feminine hygiene pad having adhesive side extensions with enhanced longitudinal flexure and structural integrity is disclosed. Each adhesive side extension may be provided with a supplementary structure that creates an outboard supplemented zone of greater basis weight and/or flexural rigidity, than an inboard, lower basis weight and/or more flexible longitudinal flexure zone. The longitudinal flexure zone may be of a limited width such that in combination with the supplemented zone, longitudinally-oriented flexure effectively limited to the flexure zones, and reliably neat wrapping of the side extension about the inner leg edge of the user/wearer's underpants, is promoted, while chances of unwanted crumpling, bunching and/or misfolding of the side extension are reduced. Additional features described may enhance comfort and convenience for the user/wearer.
