Abstract: The present invention relates to applicators for inserting objects into body cavities, and to methods for making the same. The applicators are particularly useful for inserting catamenial and prophylactic devices into a vaginal canal. The applicators comprise a tubular insertion member and a retrofitted gripping member. The gripping member has an outer diameter greater than that of the insertion member. An interface is created due to this size differential, which provides a visual or tactile cue of applicator insertion depth, and thereafter object positioning within the body cavity. The gripping member comprises at least one raised area on its outwardly disposed surface, providing resistance to movement of the user's manual digit in response to longitudinal forces on the insertion member. Longitudinal forces are created during both the insertion step of use, as well as the expulsion step delivering the contained object from the insertion member into the body cavity.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent garment having an elastic waist panel that includes one or more localized retention zones for retention the garment in its initial, as-applied position on the body of a wearer. The retention zones includes materials that have a higher coefficient of static friction than does the major surface area that constitutes the inner, body-facing surface of the garment. The garment can also include localized areas having a lower coefficient of static friction than that of the major inner surface area of the garment to facilitate placement of the garment in a desired wearing position. Such lower coefficient of static friction areas can include the areas adjacent the leg openings and the area of the waistband that overlies the stomach of the wearer. Additionally, the garment can also include within the waistband, as well as within the side, hip engaging panels of the garment, areas wherein the coefficient of static friction varies from high to low to provide improved retention and comfort over a wide range of wearing conditions and a wide range of movements of the wearer.

Abstract translation: 一种一次性吸收衣服，其具有弹性腰围片，其包括一个或多个局部保留区域，用于将衣服保持在其穿着者身体的初始应用位置。 保持区域包括具有比构成衣服的内部面向身体表面的主要表面积更高的静摩擦系数的材料。 服装还可以包括具有比衣服的主要内表面区域更低的静摩擦系数的局部区域，以便于将衣服放置在期望的佩戴位置。 这种较低的静摩擦系数可以包括邻近腿部开口的区域和覆盖穿用者胃部的腰带区域。 此外，衣服还可以包括在腰带内以及服装侧面的臀部接合面板中，其中静摩擦系数从高到低的区域变化，以在宽范围的穿着条件下提供改善的保持和舒适度 以及佩戴者的各种运动。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tampon applicator arrangement, having tampon, applicator unit and a film cap, attached thereto, which is at least partially uniformly shaped, typically being conforming to part or all of the tampon or applicator unit, or such that the film cap has the lowest possible surface area. The film cap is so shaped and/or generally under tension and has no rugosites, folds or even wrinkles, other than optionally tension wrinkles, and preferably also no seams or welds. The invention also relates to specific moulding processes for making the film cap and the arrangement of the invention. The arrangements of the invention provide a smoother, easier and safer insertion of a tampon in the body.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article defined by a pair of longitudinally extending side edges and a pair of end edges extending between the side edges, has a front waist region, a back waist region, and a crotch region located between the waist regions. The disposable absorbent article also includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet is provided with a plurality of openings which direct bodily exudates received into or by the crotch region to a storage space disposed below the topsheet. The topsheet is spaced generally upward from the core such that the storage space is disposed between the topsheet and the core. The disposable absorbent article further includes at least one or more elongated elastic strands which are attached to the topsheet so as to space or urge the topsheet generally upwardly from the core. Moreover, portions of the topsheet between the elastic strands are tacked down to create depressions between the strands and each of the openings are located generally in one of these depressions.
