Abstract:
Contrary to packagings or bottles made of pure materials like PET, nonwovens usually consist of a mix of materials and are as such difficult to include in a recycling process. The present invention relates to a method for recycling polyester-based nonwovens comprising 5 to 50% of PET/coPET low melt staple fibers into polyester staple fibers (PSF), and further including these fibers into new nonwovens for a large variety of articles for applications in virtually any technical field.
Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article utilized for absorption and containment of urine and other body exudates may incorporate components that may be detached from the article after use to provide disposal options based upon the user's preferences and circumstances, such as flushing down a toilet or septic tank, composting, recycling, or disposing in a landfill. Sanitary grips and sanitary gap may provide sanitary placements to detach the article. Ripping features incorporated along the top liner, back liner, or outer liner enclosure may also be used to detach the article. A removable liner may be detached from the top liner or outer liner enclosure. The absorbent core may be released after the article has been detached. To reduce the risk of clogging the toilet, a membrane may be utilized to create a barrier between the absorbent core and high-absorbency material to obstruct the high-absorbency material from being released and flushed.
Abstract:
A diaper changing system for efficiently changing a diaper without having to carry a diaper bag. The diaper changing system generally includes a diaper having an exterior surface and an interior surface, a cavity beneath the interior surface, a plurality of dispensing openings extending through the interior surface to fluidly connect to the cavity, and a receiver opening extending through the interior surface to fluidly connected to the cavity. The receiver opening is adapted to removably receive a nozzle of a cream container to receive a cream for insertion into the cavity and later dispensing from the cavity through the dispensing openings to the skin of the baby. A bag is removably attached to the exterior surface of the diaper for storing the cream container and wipes until used. The bag is removed and used as a garbage container when the diaper is used.
Abstract:
A disposable diaper includes a disposal aid which is embedded inside the diaper. The disposal aid includes a base, a removable cover and a tab. The diaper includes a slit and the disposal aid is embedded inside the diaper during manufacturing so that the tab protrudes from the slit. The base of the disposal aid includes one or more compartments where one or more items can be placed. By pulling the tab, the disposal aid can be pulled out of the diaper, thereby, facilitating access to the disposal aid, and by removing the cover, the one or more items become accessible, thereby, facilitating removal of the one or more items from the one or more compartments.

Abstract:
A personal hygiene article includes a chassis with a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent component between the topsheet and the backsheet. At least one portion of the personal hygiene article includes a microporous film having an opaque, microporous region and at least one see-through region of lower porosity within the opaque, microporous region. The microporous film can include a beta-nucleating agent or can have thermally induced phase separation caused by a diluent. A container includes a microporous film enclosing at least one personal hygiene article. The microporous film has an opaque, microporous region and at least one see-through region of lower porosity forming a window within the opaque, microporous region. Methods of making the personal hygiene article and container are also described.

Abstract:
An absorbent article, such as a diaper or an incontinence protection product, which has a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, a front waist portion, a rear waist portion and a crotch portion which is arranged between the front and rear waist portions and includes a liquid-permeable outer layer and a liquid-impermeable outer layer and also an absorption body which is enclosed between the outer layers, a front edge which extends in the transverse direction and a rear edge which extends in the transverse direction, with the article having a wiping area which is arranged on the liquid-permeable outer layer, with the wiping area being arranged outside the crotch area on the front waist portion and including an adsorptive agent for taking up and binding microorganisms and proteins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates an interlabial pad to be fitted to the labia providing an interlabial pad with flap portions that can maintain the retention state in the interlabial space irrespective of the quantity of body fluid discharge such as menstrual blood. A mini-sheet piece (3) is attached to the opposite side face to the body side face (2b) of the interlabial pad (2) in such a way that a part of it protrudes from both side edges of the interlabial pad (2) forming flap portions (4A) and (4B). Adhesives (6A) and (6B) are applied to the body side face of the flap portions (4A) and (4B). The interlabial pad (2) is retained in the interlabial space and the flap portions (4A) and (4B) are affixed to the surface of the labia majora to fit the interlabial pad with the flap portions (1).
