A reusable protective template is formed by multiple layers: a first body-contacting layer made of a textile fabric and having bactericidal properties (silver ions, claim 2) and water-repelling properties due to chitosan fibres; an intermediate layer with silicone or a polymeric gel, and a third layer made of a textile fabric with means of attachment to a garment.

The present invention relates to a nonwoven comprising a first layer comprising a first fiber and a second fiber, and a second layer comprising a third fiber; wherein the first fiber is hydrophobic and the second fiber is hydrophilic, and wherein the second layer is more hydrophilic than the first layer; a method for manufacturing the nonwoven according to the present invention; and an absorbent article comprising a topsheet; and a backsheet joined to the topsheet, wherein the topsheet comprises the nonwoven according to the present invention.

An improved underwear garment includes an outer layer; an inner layer; a waist band; two leg openings; a pocket member; and at least one scented member. The inner layer is adapted to absorb any liquid discharge from a user and deter the liquid discharge from reaching the outer layer. The waist band is attached to an upper edge of the outer layer. The pocket member is attached to an outer surface of the outer layer and forms an interior volume. The at least one scented member is removably located within the interior volume of the pocket member and is adapted such that the at least one scented member can provide a scent to the improved underwear garment while the user is wearing the improved underwear garment, and wherein when the at least one scented member no longer provides a scent it can be removed and replaced with another scented member.

Absorbent product having a liquid permeable surface and a liquid impermeable opposite surface, the absorbent product including an odor control material, the odor control material including a carrier material and a plurality of odor control particles adhered to the carrier material. The carrier material has a first surface located towards the liquid permeable surface of the absorbent product and a second opposite surface located towards the liquid impermeable surface of the absorbent product. The plurality of odor control particles are bonded to the second surface of the carrier material with a water soluble binder substance wherein the binder substance at least partly dissolves when in contact with an aqueous solution.

Described here are body liners and methods for treating accidental bowel leakage using one or more body liners. The body liners may be formed from one or more liner layers and in some instances may comprise one or more adhesive regions to connect the body liners to the skin of a wearer. The body liners may be configured to absorb fluid, and may selectively distribute fluid relative to the body liner.
