The present disclosure relates to a folded sanitary article (100,200), such as a sanitary napkin or a pantiliner T the sanitary article comprises a topsheet (102,202), a backsheet (103,203) and an absorbent core (104,204) arranged between the topsheet (102,202) and the backsheet (103,203). The sanitary article (100,200) extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and in a transverse direction (T). The sanitary article (100,200) has a first longitudinal side edge (105,205), a second longitudinal side edge (106,206), a front edge (107,207) and a rear edge (108,208). The sanitary article (100,200) has a first fastening wing (109,209) extending at the first longitudinal side edge (105,205) and a second fastening wing (110,210) extending at the second longitudinal side edge (106,206). The first and second fastening wings (109,110,209,210) are asymmetrical with respect to each other, as seen along any longitudinal axis extending in the longitudinal direction (L). The absorbent core (104,204) comprises an absorbent core front edge (111,211), an absorbent core rear edge (112,212), an absorbent core first longitudinal side edge (113,213) and an absorbent core second longitudinal side edge (114,214), the absorbent core (104) having an absorbent core width (Wabs) and a maximum absorbent core width (wabsMAx). The first and the second fastening wings (109,110) of the sanitary article (100,200) are folded onto the topsheet (102,202) of the sanitary article (100,200). The folded sanitary article (100,200) has a folded article width (Wf) and the folded article width (wrs) is not more than 10 mm greater than the maximum absorbent core width (WabsMAx). The present disclosure also relates to a package including a plurality of folded sanitary articles and an array of folded sanitary articles.

The invention is directed towards a device, method of using and making the same and more particularly to a sterile, biocompatible, fiber free, foam device configured to be used in various different uses, e.g., medical uses, make-up removal uses, and other uses.

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, an absorbent core, and a backsheet. The absorbent article has a visually perceptible functional enhancement indicator and a functionally-distinguishable portion of the article with one or more channels. The visually perceptible functional enhancement indicator corresponds to the one or more channels, and the functional enhancement indicator is visually perceptible from a body-facing side of the absorbent article but the one or more channels are not visually perceptible.

In a packaging sheet for packaging an absorbent article, a first region including one end of the packaging sheet in the first direction is caused to overlap on an outer surface of a second region including another end in the first direction to enable packaging of the absorbent article, and a sealing tape is adhered over a first portion of an outer surface of the first region and a second portion of the outer surface of the second region; and, a non-contact portion that does not contact the sealing tape is formed on the outer surface of the second portion.

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property.

A package comprising a plurality of disposable absorbent articles contained in an outer wrap is disclosed. The outer wrap is formed of a film having a thickness and has a path of scoring that partially but not completely penetrates the thickness, and defines a path of weakness in the film along which tear propagation is facilitated.

A gripper, an apparatus, and a method for assembling kits of sanitary products in an automated fashion are disclosed. The sanitary products are pre-loaded into containers including a plurality of independent housings for the sanitary products, each of the housings being configured to allow loading of a sanitary product therein and withdrawal of the sanitary product therefrom independently of the other housings, and the kit is assembled in batches on the gripper, and released by the latter into a package.

The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to methods and compositions for tagging cells of interest, tracking evolution of the tagged cells, and recovering the original tagged cells for further study. Specifically, cells are tagged with a DNA construct encoding a barcode sequence comprising a guide sequence. Barcoded cells can then be recovered using a reporter construct having CRISPR target sequences specific for the cell having a barcode of interest.
