Abstract

A disposable garment for wearing about the lower torso employs pleats or folds in the waist region of the garment allowing the hip region to expand. The pleats are secured in a bond zone at the waist. An absorbent assembly is attached at the waist region and is free to expand at the hip region of the garment, also allowing for unfolding and expansion of the folded lateral extensions during loading of the panels and pleats in the absorbent assembly, together form longitudinally opposite pockets for collecting liquid and solid exudates.
