A pull-on wearable article includes a main portion including an outer cover, the main portion defining a front waist region, a rear waist region, and a crotch region extending between and connecting the front and rear waist regions. First and second extendable side panels extend between and connect the main portion front waist region and the main portion rear waist region to form the article in a closed waist configuration, at least a portion of each side panel being extendable between a relaxed state and an extended state. The article defines first and second side regions, each side region including one of the first and second side panels and a transverse region of the main portion bordering the respective side panel. An informational image is disposed in at least the first side region. The article may further include a texture feature formed in an outer surface of the article and positioned proximate to the informational image to form a composite image. Alternatively or additionally, the image includes a cognitively functional graphic.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to hygiene articles that comprise a coefficient of friction of greater than 0.95 as tested by ASTM D 1894. In some embodiments, the article comprises an absorbent core material disposed on a backing layer that is effective to provide a coefficient of friction of greater than 0.95 as tested by ASTM D 1894.

An absorbent article for a pet includes: a liquid absorber disposed between a liquid-permeable top sheet and a liquid-impermeable back surface layer; a first leakage suppressing portion including a first joining portion that is joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet and a first rising portion that is not joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet; and a second leakage suppressing portion including a second joining portion that is joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet and a second rising portion that is not joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet. The first and second leakage suppressing portions are disposed on a side of the liquid-permeable top sheet along a longitudinal direction on two widthwise sides of the absorbent article. A longitudinal contracting force in the second rising portion is smaller than a longitudinal contracting force in the first rising portion.

An absorbent article comprises first and second substrates and one or more elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate the substrates. The second substrate is attached to the first substrate and/or to portions of the elastic elements. The absorbent article comprises an adhesive having a first and second pattern of elements disposed on first substrate, and first and second texture zones. The first texture zone comprises a first portion of the substrates, a first portion of the elastic elements, and the first pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a background pattern in the first portion of the substrates. The second texture zone comprises a second portion of the substrates, a second portion of the one or more elastic elements, and the second pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a macro pattern in the second portion of the substrates.

An absorbent article has a liquid-permeable front surface sheet, a liquid-impermeable back surface sheet, and an absorber disposed between the front surface sheet and the back surface sheet. The absorbent article includes a groove portion entirely or partly composed of a recessed portion, the recessed portion being formed on the front surface sheet side of the absorbent article by integrally joining the front surface sheet and the absorber together, and a flat portion enclosed by the groove portion. A diameter of a maximum inscribed circle inscribed in the flat portion is at least five times and at most 20 times as large as a width of the groove portion along a radial direction of the maximum inscribed circle.

An array of packages comprising two or more different sizes of absorbent articles, the array comprising first, second, and third packages comprising first, second, and third absorbent articles having at least first and second sizes. The first, second, and third articles may have an insert length to rise ratio greater than 60%. And, the first, second, and third packages may comprise the same brand name and sub-brand name. And, the first, second, and third absorbent articles may have identical or substantially identical chassis.

A diaper structure with enhanced softness attributes is disclosed. The diaper structure may include an innermost layer formed of a first nonwoven web, and an outermost layer formed of a second nonwoven web. The first and second nonwoven webs may have a combined basis weight of at least about 30 gsm. The ratio of the first web basis weight to the second web basis weight may range from 30/70 to 70/30.

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, and wherein in at least one of the microzones, the first region is hydrophobic and the second region is hydrophilic.

Nonwoven webs/nonwoven laminates for use in absorbent articles are disclosed. The nonwoven laminate includes a first nonwoven web with continuous spunbond crimped fibers and a second web joined to the first nonwoven web. A plurality of apertures extend through at least one of the first nonwoven web or the second web. The nonwoven web includes a plurality of continuous spunbond crimped fibers wherein a plurality of apertures extend through the nonwoven web.
