Abstract:
Nonwoven materials having a first region and a plurality of discrete integral second regions that are in the form of three-dimensional deformations forming protrusions that extend outward from the first surface of the nonwoven material and wide base openings adjacent to the second surface of the nonwoven material are disclosed. The nonwoven materials include at least two layers that are each formed of a plurality of fibers. The first region has a first light transmission value and the second regions have a second light transmission value.
Abstract:
A laminate web comprising a first and second precursor webs, at least the first precursor web being a nonwoven web, the laminate web having a first side, the first side comprising the second precursor web and at least one discrete tuft, each of the discrete tufts having a linear orientation defining a longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of tufted fibers being integral extensions of the first precursor web and extending through the second precursor web; and a second side, the second side comprising the first precursor web.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent article having a fecal management member intended to handle fluids including in particular high viscosity fluids such as feces and menses. The fecal management member includes a plurality of fibers oriented in the z-direction which lead to improved fluid transportation in the z-direction and is positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet of the disposable absorbent article.
Abstract:
An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, that is for attaching to and wearing in an undergarment is provided. The sanitary napkin of the present invention has a fastener that aids the sanitary napkin in assuming a body-conforming configuration during wear. The fastener comprises at least two zones of fastener material located only in the end regions of the sanitary napkin. In one embodiment, the zones of fastener material are arranged in an overall configuration that resembles a modified letter 'X' without any fastener material in the portion of the configuration that would form the center of the letter X, and the ends of the 'X' located in the corner regions of the sanitary napkin.
Abstract:
An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin is provided. The sanitary napkin of the present invention has a curved, body-conforming configuration. The sanitary napkin has a curved longitudinal profile in which the ends of the sanitary napkin are displaced upward. The sanitary napkin also has a hump formed by the tuft of capillary channel fibers on its body-facing side. The sanitary napkin also has a curved transverse profile.
