The broken line showing of the adhesive tabs in FIG. 2 is included for the purpose of illustrating environment and forms no part of the claimed design.

The shading depicted in FIG. 1 represents a pattern viewable from the top surface of the sanitary napkin.

Side views of the sanitary napkin have been omitted since the sanitary napkin is flat and devoid of ornamentation.

the grant prints no section headings; every part label below is ours, taken from that part's own first words
