The cluster addresses the failure of standard absorbent articles to contain fluids at the waist opening, particularly when under pressure or during movement. Preventing bypass leakage at the torso interface ensures garment protection and skin dryness.

Standard absorbent articles often fail to maintain a secure seal at the waist during movement, leading to gaps and subsequent fluid escape. Addressing this prevents soilage and improves user hygiene.

The integration of waist gasketing elements and barrier leg cuffs addresses the failure of standard containment systems to prevent fluid and fecal bypass at the garment openings. Solving this prevents skin contamination and clothing soiling.
