This diaper comprises at the level of each of its transverse edges, a strip of open cell foam material extending transversely with respect to the diaper and fixed between the support and upper sheets of the latter. These elastic strips are designed to come into elastic contact with the body of a user at the level of the latter's waist. The longitudinal inner and outer edges of each strip communicate respectively with the inner space of the napkin and with the outside of the latter to permit this inner space to communicate thus with the outer space through the thickness of the strips so as to permit the internal ventilation of the napkin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the invention to overcome the various aforesaid drawbacks by providing a diaper which permits good elastic application around the waist of the user while providing effective means for placing the inner volume of the diaper in communication with the outside while preventing liquid leakages.
To this end, according to the invention, there is provided a diaper characterized in that the elastic means comprise at least one strip of the elastic open foam material arranged between the support sheet and the top sheet so that the inner space of the diaper communicates with the outside of the latter through the thickness of each of the said strips.
According to other features of the invention: Each strip extends along its width over at least a portion of the interval comprised between an edge of the pad and the neighboring edge of the diaper and each strip is fixed on one surface to the support sheet and, on the opposite surface, to the top sheet to join these together whilst leaving external and internal longitudinal edges of each of these strips to communicate respectively with the outside of the diaper and the internal space of the latter.
The outer edge of each strip and the neighboring edges of the support and top sheets are contained almost in the same plane, leaving the outer longitudinal edge of the strip visible.
The diaper comprises preferably two strips, each extending transversely over at least a portion of the length of the diaper in the neighborhood of a corresponding transverse edge of the latter.
The diaper comprises preferably two strips, each extending longitudinally over at least a portion of the length of the diaper in the vicinity of a corresponding longitudinal edge of the latter.
The foam material of each strip is water-repellent.
The foam material of each strip and the transverse section of the latter are such that the latter induces a considerable pressure drop in the flow of the liquid through the strip whilst being permeable to gaseous fluids
