Abstract

A quick-attach absorbent pad (14) for use with a panty (10) is provided with an upper surface (16) and a lower surface (18), the pad (14) being sized to fit against a crotch panel (12) of a panty (10) with the tower surface (18) of the pad (14) adjacent the crotch panel (12). The pad (14) further includes a plurality of hook fasteners (20) associated with the pad lower surface (18), which enables the pad (14) to be readily attached to the undergarment (10), and which prevents the pad (14) from shifting during use. Also provided is a panty (10) having a thin yet absorbent crotch panel (12).
In a preferred embodiment of the panty (10), the crotch panel (12) includes a fluid absorbent layer (38) overlying a fluid barrier (40). The fluid absorbent layer (38) preferably is made of a single-ply fabric having a hydrophobic upper surface (42) facing toward the user and a hydrophilic lower surface (44) facing away from the user. In addition, the upper surface (42) preferably includes yarn loops (90) which releasably hold to the hook fasteners (20) on the absorbent pad (14), thereby maintaining the pad (14) in position on the undergarment (10).
