Disclosed is an absorbent article, including a pair of containment flaps (34), which containment flaps (34) are particularly well suited for use on an absorbent article having a relatively narrow crotch (22). Specifically, the containment flaps (34) include a proximal edge (36) and a distal edge (38). The proximal edge (36) is adhered to a bodyside liner of the absorbent product with the distal edge (38) being adhered to the bodyside liner at a point outboard of the proximal edge (36). Alternatively, the proximal edge (36) and distal edge (38) are adhered to the bodyside liner in a manner to form a C-fold in the containment flap (34). The C-fold may be inboard or outboard facing.
