Claim:
An inter-labial pad comprising an absorbent body that absorbs a body fluid, a surface side sheet covering one surface of the absorbent body being in contact with the labia in an inserted state, a back face sheet covering an opposite surface of the absorbent body, a top portion formed by folding the inter-labial pad along a longitudinal centerline of the inter-labial pad, such that the resulting two folded halves of the back face sheet oppose each other, the top portion being in contact with the labia in the inserted state; a side edge portion formed by laminating the surface side sheet and the back face side sheet that cover the absorbent body; a backward end of the top portion including paired side portions of the back face sheet formed by folding the inter-labial pad along the longitudinal center line, wherein the side portions at the top of the backward end are adhered and formed into a sharp shape for insertion between the labia; and a forward end of the folded side portions not adhered to each other and releasable along the longitudinal centerline, wherein the width of the forward end of the side edge portion is wider than the width of the backward end of the top portion.
