A supply of absorbent panty liner pads formed by a contiguous longitudinal array of pad segments forming a strip. The strip has locally weakened zones to facilitate tearing off segments from the strip without the use of a cutting tool. Each pad segment is shorter than a standard panty liner pad so that approximately three segments are required to form a standard length pad. By tearing off two, three, four, or five segments in one piece, the user can create a panty liner having a short, standard, long or extra long length to suit her needs on any given day. The strip is wrapped upon itself into a roll so that pressure sensitive positioning adhesive strips are placed into contact with release surfaces formed on the strip, thereby protecting the adhesive prior to use without the need for release paper.

[ What is claimed:] [1.]1. A supply of absorbent pads for use in absorbing body fluids so as to prevent staining of a user's garment, comprising a longitudinally extending strip of absorbent pad segments, the pad segments having a predetermined uniform interval length of from about 1 to about 3 inches, said strip being tearable into individual absorbent pads without the use of a dispenser having a cutting edge or scissors, said strip of absorbent pad segments having longitudinally extending first and second edges and:(a) a longitudinally extending body facing surface defined in part by a first major surface of a longitudinally extending strip of absorbent material having a plurality of substantially transverse weakened zones forming preferential tearing lines, said weakened zones spaced at predetermined intervals along said absorbent material strip corresponding to the predetermined interval lengths of said pad segments;(b) a longitudinally extending fluid impervious barrier strip, wherein a portion of said barrier strip overlies and is adhesively bonded to the absorbent material covering a second major surface, opposite the first major surface of said absorbent material strip and forming a longitudinally extending garment facing surface of said strip of absorbent pad segments, and portions of said barrier strip forming first and second portions of said body facing surface adjacent said first and second longitudinally extending edges, respectively;(c) a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on said garment-facing surface of said strip of the absorbent pad segments; and(d) a continuous, longitudinally extending release surface formed on said first and second portions of said body-facing surface formed by said barrier strip, proximate the edges; rein said fluid impervious barrier strip forms a fluid barrier which prevents fluid leakage during use of said absorbent pads, said longitudinally extending strip of absorbent pad segments is wrapped around itself into a roll to place said pressure sensitive adhesive into contact with at least a portion of said release surface and said individual absorbent pads are formed of a plurality of absorbent pad segments.
