A feminine hygiene article having a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline, the feminine hygiene article further comprising: a first wing extending laterally outboard of the chassis having a first leading edge extending outboard of the chassis, a first trailing edge extending outboard of the chassis and one or more edges connecting the first leading edge and the first trailing edge, the first wing further comprising a first proximal zone and a first distal zone and a first bisecting line forming at least a portion of a boundary between the first distal zone and the first proximal zone, wherein the first wing is asymmetric about the first bisecting line, wherein the first distal zone is disposed more outboard of the chassis than the first proximal zone, and wherein the first proximal zone forms the uppermost portion of the first wing; a second wing extending laterally outboard of the chassis having a second leading edge extending outboard of the chassis, a second trailing edge extending outboard of the chassis and one or more edges connecting the second leading edge and the second trailing edge, the second wing further comprising a second proximal zone and a second distal zone and a second bisecting line forming at least a portion of a boundary between the second distal zone and the second proximal zone, wherein the second wing is asymmetric about the second bisecting line, wherein the second distal zone is disposed more outboard of the chassis than the second proximal zone, and wherein the second proximal zone forms the lowermost portion of the second wing; a first visual signal disposed in the first distal zone; and a second visual signal disposed in the second distal zone.
