The present invention relates to a roll-type hook tape for providing a disposable diaper hook member, which is more stably fastened to a loop member which is a counterpart of the hook member, and greatly contributes to manufacturing and commercialization in the form of a roll.

An absorbent article and compatible garments for use on infants, children, or incontinent individuals. The absorbent article comprises a front part (21), rear part (22), intermediate crotch part (24), and front and rear fastening devices (30A-30B, 28A-28D). The compatible garments comprise a waist belt with front and rear fastening devices (44A-44B, 46A-46D) and features such as sleeves for legs (62A-62B) or a skirt (72), such that when such a garment is placed on a wearer, the wearer's groin and buttocks are uncovered. The absorbent article is fastened to the waist belt of the garment to cover the wearer's groin and buttocks. Thus, the absorbent article can be quickly attached to, detached from, partially attached to, or partially detached from the garment without removing the garment from the wearer or restricting the wearer's position for diaper changes or access to a toilet. Since the absorbent article is compatible with a plurality of garments, such benefits remain regardless of climate, season, or stylistic choices.

A disposable urine trap in the form of a foldable pad that envelops the male genitalia and closes around the organ to form a barrier that prevents urine from escaping the trap. The pad includes an asymmetric pair of wings that are separated by a gap and attached to the main body of the pad. The first wing is preferably trapezoidal and a second wing having an extending distal edge.

Absorbent articles that include elastics in multiple layers are disclosed herein.

A process and an apparatus for producing hygienic absorbent articles provided with at least one refastenable side seam from a chain of articles being formed having a first elastic sheet and a second elastic sheet, wherein the process and the apparatus are configured to perform operations on one or both of the elastic sheets in a cross direction, that is, with the elastic sheets parallel to the machine direction.

The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.

A disposable absorbent pant having a front belt portion and a rear belt portion is disclosed. The front and rear belt portions are joined at side seams and the rear belt portion has a greater length than the front belt portion. A lower edge of the rear belt portion forms at least in part edges of left and right leg openings to the rear of the side seams. The rear belt portion includes first and second layers of nonwoven web material sandwiching a plurality of laterally extending and laterally pre-strained elastic strands, disposed below the side seams. A first of the plurality of elastic strands differs from a second of the plurality of elastic strands by one or more of amount of pre-strain, tensile modulus, decitex, and combinations thereof.

The invention relates to a nonwoven laminated web (20) for making an elastic closure element (57) of a diaper (56) or an elastic shaping element (59) at the edge (58) of a diaper (56), having at least one laminate layer (21 and 22) of nonwoven textile (21 and 22) and a laminate layer (23) of an elastic film (23) adjacent thereto, the laminate layers (21 and 22, 23) being welded to one another at numerous spots (33) in a stretched state of the film (23). During welding, the film (23) is stretched in a central region (43) transverse to the longitudinal direction (L) of the nonwoven laminate (20) and is not stretched at the two longitudinal edge strips (50) in a width of 5-25% of the total width (G) of the film (23) in each case, so that, in the relaxed state of the film (23), the nonwoven laminate (20) forms folds (44) in the nonwoven layer (21 and 22) in the central region (43), which extend in the longitudinal direction (L) of the nonwoven laminate (20), and at the longitudinal edges (50, 51) has no folds in the nonwoven layer (21 and 22) but forms there two parallel, inelastic stiffening zones, the film (23) having a smooth, closed surface structure (49) at the longitudinal edge strips (50) and a wrinkled, furrowed surface structure (47) in the central region (43).

A method of making a laminate for an absorbent article is provided. The laminate comprises elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate two substrates. The first substrate has a primary fiber bond pattern formed therein and comprising a plurality of primary fiber bonds. The method comprises forming densified regions in the first substrate. A perimeter of each of the densified regions is larger than a perimeter of each of the primary fiber bonds. The densified regions together form a pattern of densified regions in the first substrate. The method comprises adhesively attaching the elastic elements to the first substrate, joining the second substrate to the first substrate or to some of the elastic elements, and forming a plurality of rugosities in the first substrate by allowing the elastic elements to at least partially contract. The frequency and amplitude ranges of the rugosities result from the pattern of the densified regions.

This invention relates to a disposable sanitary napkin having longitudinal curved edges and transverse ends having at least one compression line extending a long and close to the longitudinal edges, such that the pressure of the user's thighs on the product will bring about a protuberance of absorbent material towards the perineal area when worn. The product of this invention thus bring the absorbent material closer to the discharge of menstrual fluid in the absorbent middle which is the critical cause of leakage from the longitudinal edges of sanitary napkins.
