An absorbent article includes a topsheet comprising a composite sheet. In the composite sheet, projections that protrude toward the skin of the wearer are formed by a first sheet protruding in a direction away from a second sheet at portions other than bonding portions. A plurality of first oblique bonding portion rows and a plurality of second oblique bonding portion rows are formed, and a long bonding portion elongated in a longitudinal direction is formed at each intersection of the first oblique bonding portion rows and the second oblique bonding portion rows. Laterally long projections elongated in a width direction are formed in a dispersed manner in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. Each laterally long projection is surrounded by two first oblique bonding portion rows and two second oblique bonding portion rows, and the long bonding portion is formed between adjacent laterally long projections in the width direction.

An underpad for covering a patient support structure includes an upper, patient facing surface and a lower, support structure facing surface. The underpad includes a liquid permeable patient facing layer and a liquid impermeable base layer. An absorbent layer is positioned above the base layer and below the patient facing layer, and a tissue layer is positioned above the absorbent layer and below the patient facing layer. An ink is deposited on the tissue layer. The ink is more readily visible through the patient facing layer than through the base layer.

An absorbent hygienic article for absorbing body fluids, the article including a liquid permeable topsheet, a backing layer and an absorbent core arranged between the topsheet and the backing layer, the topsheet and the backing layer being made from roll materials. The topsheet or an absorbent layer in the absorbent core is constituted by a cellulosic fibrous web, the fibres in the cellulosic fibrous web being constituted by a mixture of cellulose fibres including regenerated cellulose fibres or natural cellulose staple fibres and cellulose pulp fibres, the cellulosic fibrous web being a foam-formed, hydroentangled fibrous web.

The present invention relates to the field of hygiene appliances, in particular to hygiene articles comprising a means for reducing soiling of the skin of a wearer by body exudates such as faeces, urine, or menses. In particular, it relates to an article with a Skin Protection Sheet (SPS) that comprises a rear opening in registry with the anus during use, and a front opening in registry with a body exudate releasing body opening or genital organ. The openings are urged to the body by a pull means, whilst being spread open cross-directionally, allowing exudates to pass through. Such a hygiene article may suitably be a baby or adult diaper or pant, a training pant, or a menstrual pant.

A laminate including a substrate layer and a fibrous layer. The fibrous layer includes cellulose fibers and irregularly shaped lumps of a hotmelt material. The lumps of hotmelt material may at least partially bond the cellulose fibers together, thus increasing the integrity and resilience of the fibrous layer.

A sanitary pad system includes a first pad and a second pad. The first pad has a first set of fastening tabs and the second pad has a second set of fastening tabs. The two sets of fastening tabs are offset so that, when the two pads are stacked in overlapping relationship on an undergarment, both pads are directly attached to the undergarment with the associated fastening tabs.

To certainly fix the peripheral portion of a hole to a support sheet without losing flexibility. The above problem is solved by providing a cover nonwoven fabric in which a plurality of holes penetrating front and back surfaces at intervals, and a liquid impervious sheet in which the cover nonwoven fabric is bonded via a hot melt adhesive, in the cover nonwoven fabric, the peripheral portions of the holes are warped portion warped toward the liquid impervious sheet side, at least a tip portion of the warped portion of the cover nonwoven fabric has an adhesive portion bonded to the liquid impervious sheet via the hot melt adhesive, and a portion of the cover nonwoven fabric other than the adhesive portion is not adhered to the liquid impervious sheet.
