Abstract:
A laminate cleaning implement with a facing sheet, a substrate, and optionally a backing sheet. The facing sheet, the substrate, and the optional backing sheet are mechanically intermeshed. The mechanically intermeshing can provide one or more discrete tufts protruding outwardly from the laminate.
Abstract:
An elasticized, disposable, absorbent pant (20) for use by an incontinent adult or for use by a toddler or small child, during body function control training, is disclosed with an advantageous fastener arrangement (16) which ensures that the pant remains in the normal wearing position and does not have a tendency to slide down off the hips of the wearer or gap at the waist leading to leaks following any additional loading which occurs whenever the wearer either eliminates or urinates. The fastener (16) is arranged to extend generally between the front and back panels of the disposable, absorbent, elasticized pant and to increase the forces exerted by the pant onto the wearer by effectively adjusting the waisband size to more closely conform to the waist size of the wearer. The fasteners may be adhesive, a snap engagement fastener, a hook and perforation fastener, or a hook and loop pile fastener, or post and grommet; all of aforementioned fasteners are easily engaged and easily disengaged to permit the wearer both to put on and to easily remove the garment whenever the need arises.
Abstract:
An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a fully removable fastening member configured to join a portion of the first waist region to the second waist region. The fastening member includes a first end region comprising a first end, a second end region comprising a second end, a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and in the first end region, and a second fastener on the first surface and in the second end region. The fastening member includes a grasp region either partially laterally outboard of the first fastener or laterally outboard of the first fastener in the first end region. The grasp region has a different physical property than a remainder of the fastening member.
Abstract:
A patterned apertured web comprises a plurality of land areas and a plurality of apertures. At least some of the land areas surround at least some of the apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 5% to about 50%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The patterned apertured web has a plurality of Interaperture Distances, according to the Aperture Test herein. The Interaperture Distances have a distribution having a median and a mean, wherein the mean is greater than the median.

Abstract:
Absorbent structure (13)s for absorbent articles are provided, comprising an absorbent layer (17) with absorbent material (50) containing superabsorbent polymer particles supported by a supporting sheet (16), and having first and a second substantially longitudinal channel (26) that are free of said superabsorbent polymeric particles, and that comprises one or more adhesive material to immobilize said absorbent material (50). The channels can provide improved fit and/ or liquid acquisition/ transportation, and/ or improved performance.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent article may comprise a substantially laterally-extending separation element defining a visual front portion and a visual back portion on a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article. The liquid permeable topsheet may comprise a first zone in the visual front portion that comprises a first geometric treatment and a second zone in the visual back portion that comprises a second geometric treatment.
Abstract:
