An absorbent garment defining a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction , the absorbent garment comprising, a front region defining a front edge , a first front side edge , and a second front side edge transversely opposed to the first front side edge , wherein the front region defines a front region width in the transverse direction between the first front side edge and the second front side edge ; a back region defining a back edge , a first back side edge , and a second back side edge transversely opposed to the first back side edge, wherein the back region defines a back region width in the transverse direction between the first back side edge and the second back side edge ; a crotch region disposed in the longitudinal direction between and interconnecting the front region and the back region , wherein the crotch region defines a minimum crotch width , wherein the minimum crotch width is less than 30% the front region width ; an absorbent member positioned in the crotch region and defining an absorbent member width measured transversely between an absorbent member first side edge and an absorbent member second side edge , the absorbent member width defining an absorbent member maximum width and an absorbent member minimum width , wherein the absorbent member minimum width is less than 80 mm, the absorbent member minimum width is less than 60% the absorbent member maximum width, and the absorbent member minimum width is less than 53% the minimum crotch width; and a first and a second containment flap extending in the longitudinal direction and being joined to a body-facing surface of the absorbent garment, wherein each of the first and the second containment flaps defines a height , measured from an attachment edge to a distal edge , of less than 20 mm, characterised in that : the absorbent member minimum width is less than 65 mm and each of the first and the second containment flaps have an off-set of at least 10 mm relative to the absorbent member minimum width . a front region defining a front edge , a first front side edge , and a second front side edge transversely opposed to the first front side edge , wherein the front region defines a front region width in the transverse direction between the first front side edge and the second front side edge ; a back region defining a back edge , a first back side edge , and a second back side edge transversely opposed to the first back side edge, wherein the back region defines a back region width in the transverse direction between the first back side edge and the second back side edge ; a crotch region disposed in the longitudinal direction between and interconnecting the front region and the back region , wherein the crotch region defines a minimum crotch width , wherein the minimum crotch width is less than 30% the front region width ; an absorbent member positioned in the crotch region and defining an absorbent member width measured transversely between an absorbent member first side edge and an absorbent member second side edge , the absorbent member width defining an absorbent member maximum width and an absorbent member minimum width , wherein the absorbent member minimum width is less than 80 mm, the absorbent member minimum width is less than 60% the absorbent member maximum width, and the absorbent member minimum width is less than 53% the minimum crotch width; and a first and a second containment flap extending in the longitudinal direction and being joined to a body-facing surface of the absorbent garment, wherein each of the first and the second containment flaps defines a height , measured from an attachment edge to a distal edge , of less than 20 mm, characterised in that : the absorbent member minimum width is less than 65 mm and each of the first and the second containment flaps have an off-set of at least 10 mm relative to the absorbent member minimum width . <EOS>
