Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and the topsheet. At least a portion of the are depressions, wherein the depressions have a depression centerline bisecting a length and/or width of the depression. A first strut forms a first sidewall of the depression opposite a second sidewall of the depression formed by a second strut, wherein neither of the first strut nor the second strut extend longitudinally and/or laterally beyond the depression centerline by more than 0.75 mm.
Abstract:
An absorbent article and method of making the absorbent article are disclosed. The absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure having one or more layers wherein at least one layer is a heterogeneous mass layer, wherein the topsheet and the heterogeneous mass are integrated such that they reside in the same X-Y plane.

Abstract:
A nonwoven comprising a pattern of thermal bonds with anti-fuzz properties according to at least three and preferably all four of the following conditions: a) the pattern comprises thermal bonds disposed in parallel rows having a pitch angle (P) of from 0.5° to 15° relative to the machine direction or the cross-machine direction; and/or b) the bonding area of all the thermal bonds ranges from 17% to 30% of the area of the nonwoven, and/or c) the pattern comprises larger bonds and smaller bonds having different individual area, and/or d) the pattern comprises elongated bonds having different major directions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising a nonwoven web which is formed from a plurality of trilobal fibers, wherein the lobes of the trilobal fibers each have a ratio of length to width in the range of from 1.5-4, the nonwoven web has a basis weight in the range of from 5-20 gsm, the nonwoven web has a side which is provided with a pattern of bonded areas which defines one or more non-bonded areas, and wherein the surface of the bonded areas is in the range of 10-32 % of the total surface of the side and the surface of the non-bonded area(s) is in the range of from 68-90 % of the total surface of the side. The invention further relates to the use of the present nonwoven fabric. In addition, the present invention also relates to an absorbent article comprising the present nonwoven fabric.
Abstract:
An absorbent structure includes a first area of fibrous absorbent material and a second area of fibrous absorbent material. The first area has a greater basis weight than the second area. The second area includes a plurality of segments separated by vertical interfaces. Each of the vertical interfaces has a width less than 1 cm. Bridging of fibrous absorbent material extends across the vertical interfaces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an absorbent product (8; 12; 16; 22; 25)comprising a nonwoven material (1)arranged to be in contact with skin of a user during use of the absorbent product (8; 12; 16; 22; 25). The nonwoven material (1)comprises at least on a skin contacting surface a mixture of non-absorbent and absorbent fibres. The absorbent fibres are present in an amount of 2-30% by weight, preferably about 2-10% by weight, based on the total weight of the fibres in thenonwoven material (1). The non-absorbent fibres have a coarseness of 1.8to dtexand the absorbent fibres have a coarseness of 1 to 10.The invention also relates to a use of a nonwoven material in an absorbent product to reduce wet friction between the nonwoven and skin of a user.10 (Fig.6)
Abstract:
A folded absorbent sanitary pad having a lower basis weight of superabsorbent polymer in correspondence with the folding lines which helps reducing the stiffness of the article caused by the folding lines.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an absorption body intended to form part of an absorbent disposable article comprising a first absorption layer intended to face towards the user upon use and a second absorption layer intended to face away from the user upon use, wherein the first absorption layer has a longitudinal opening in the crotch area and the second absorption layer has a longitudinal compression arranged in the crotch area.
