A unitary storage layer for an absorbent article, being formed by at least two sub-layers in which a first outermost sub-layer forms said first surface and includes cellulose pulp fibers and cross linked cellulose fibers and includes less than 5% of SAP by weight of the sub-layer, and a second sub layer which includes cellulose pulp fibers and SAP and is immediately adjacent to said first sub-layer.

Absorbent articles comprising a multilayer outer cover comprising a first outer layer and a second outer layer comprising a component that exhibits at least partial elastic recovery after mechanical activation in the machine direction; an inner layer, disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the inner layer comprising elastic strands; and wherein at least one of the first outer layer and second outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.

Absorbent articles comprising a multilayer outer cover comprising a first outer layer and a second outer layer comprising a component that exhibits at least partial elastic recovery after mechanical activation in the machine direction; an inner layer, disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the inner layer comprising elastic strands; and wherein at least one of the first outer layer and second outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.

The present disclosure relates to an array of disposable absorbent articles adapted for different activities, the array comprising a first package comprising a plurality of pant-type absorbent articles (10), configured to be worn about the lower torso of a wearer and a second package comprising a plurality of pad-type absorbent articles (10′), configured to be fastened to an undergarment, wherein the absorbent core (1,1′) of said pant-type and said pad-type absorbent articles (10,10′) comprises absorbent material selected from the group consisting of cellulose fibers, superabsorbent polymers and combinations thereof, said absorbent material being contained within at least one core wrap substrate enclosing said absorbent material, and wherein a top layer of said core wrap is adhered to a bottom layer of said core wrap to form one or more channels (4) substantially free of said absorbent material.

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

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

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid permeable topsheet and a liquid impermeable backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises absorbent material selected from the group consisting of cellulose fibers, superabsorbent polymers and combinations thereof, wherein said absorbent material is contained within at least one core wrap substrate enclosing said absorbent material, and wherein a top layer of said core wrap is adhered to a bottom layer of said core wrap to form one or more channels substantially free of said absorbent material, wherein said channels have a length extending along a longitudinal axis and the absorbent core has a length extending along said longitudinal axis and wherein the length of said channels is from 10% to 95% of the length of said absorbent core such that each said channels are surrounded by absorbent material wherein said top layer of the core wrap is in direct contact with the topsheet, and wherein said top layer of the core wrap comprises a spunbond nonwoven or a carded thermobonded nonwoven.

An absorbent article, such as, a garment-like absorbent article, can have a front region, a back region, and a crotch region extending between and interconnecting the front region and the back region. Each of the front region and the back region can have an elastic material. The absorbent article can have an absorbent core wherein a portion of the absorbent core can be located in the crotch region, a portion of the absorbent core can be located in a portion of the front region, and a portion of the absorbent core can be located in a portion of the back region. Within each of the front region and the back region, an overlapping region can exist where the absorbent core is in an overlapping configuration with the elastic material within the front region and the back region.

An hotmelt adhesive for absorbent article (20), wherein the hotmelt adhesive comprises at least one low molecular weight metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin, at least one high molecular weight polyolefin having a peak molecular weight of from 130,000 g/mol to 700,000 g/mol and at least one tackifier. The hotmelt adhesive comprises less than 10% by weight of mineral oil. The hotmelt adhesive is particularly useful to form a core wrap bond (82, 84, 86) and/or a patch-to-core bond (78).

An absorbent article includes: a top sheet constituting a usage-side surface; a liquid impervious sheet disposed on a back surface side; and an absorbent element interposed between the top sheet and the liquid impervious sheet. The top sheet is a perforated nonwoven fabric in which a large number of openings penetrating the nonwoven fabric from a front surface to a back surface are formed at intervals in a front-back direction and a width direction of a product. A liquid pervious intermediate sheet is bonded to a back surface side of the top sheet at a large number of bonding points by thermal bonding or ultrasonic bonding. The openings each have an area of 1 to 30 mm.sup.2. The bonding points each have an area of 0.12 to 20 mm.sup.2, the area being smaller than the area of the opening.
