A folded absorbent article including a fluid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core including at least two core layers located between the topsheet and the backsheet, an upper core layer and one or more underlying core layer(s). The upper core layer is located between the topsheet and the one or more underlying core layer(s) and the topsheet and the backsheet extend together laterally outside the absorbent core. The absorbent core has a transversal width of a transition between a front portion and an intermediate portion of the core that is narrower than a transversal width of the rest of the core. A first end portion of the article is folded about a first transversal fold line over a central area of the article, the first fold line coinciding with or being adjacent the narrow transversal transition between the front portion and the intermediate portion of the core.

An absorbent article capable of giving a sense of higher security to a user is provided. The absorbent article includes nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric includes organic cotton fibers. The organic cotton fibers form a plurality of fiber lumps in the nonwoven fabric. The fiber lumps are configured to be visible from the outside. The light transmittance of the portion corresponding to the fiber lumps in the nonwoven fabric is lower than the light transmittance of a portion where the fiber lumps are not present in the nonwoven fabric.

A packaged absorbent article having a body surface and a garment surface; and a wrapper sheet for wrapping the absorbent article so that at least a portion of the garment surface of the absorbent article can be seen through the wrapper sheet.

The present disclosure is directed to a package configured to receive one or more absorbent articles. The package comprises a package material comprising natural fibers. The package comprises a plurality of panels comprising a consumer-facing panel and a back panel having one or more wicket holes in a portion thereof. The package is configured to be sealed such that the one or more absorbent articles are enclosed therein. The back panel comprises a first chamfered side edge and a second chamfered side edge in an area proximate to the one or more wicket holes. The package material comprises a barrier film layer disposed on an inner surface of the package material. The package is recyclable.

The invention pertains to an assembly (1) comprising a sanitary napkin (10) and a wrapper (30), the sanitary napkin (10) being maintained in a folded configuration by the wrapper (3), the wrapper (3) extends in longitudinal, transversal and vertical directions (L,T,V) and comprises a corresponding length (L), width (W) and thickness (H) respectively, the folded sanitary napkin (10) also extending in said longitudinal, transversal and vertical directions, comprises a corresponding length (L.sub.10), width (W.sub.10) and thickness (H.sub.10), a top surface (4) and a bottom surface (6), the wrapper (30) comprises an upper strip (36) being in contact with the top surface (4) of the folded sanitary napkin (10) and a lower strip (38) being in contact with the bottom surface (6) of the folded sanitary napkin (10), the upper strip (36) and bottom strip (38) each comprising a respective width (W.sub.36, W.sub.38) and length (L.sub.36, L.sub.38), the upper and lower strips (36,38) being bonded together at both their longitudinal ends, characterized in that the length (L.sub.36, L.sub.38) of at least one of the upper or lower strips (36,38) is greater than the length (L.sub.10) of the sanitary napkin (10) in a folded state and the width (W.sub.36, W.sub.38) of both the upper strip and the lower strips (8, 10) is lesser than the width (W.sub.10) of the sanitary napkin (10) in a folded state.

The current invention in some embodiments thereof relates to a sanitary pad which has a flat configuration for easy storage and transport and folds to form a 3D shape including a bulge for dividing between skin in a sensitive area. In some embodiments, in the bulge may be perpendicular to a flat portion of the pad. Optionally, the fin may have a triangular shape. For example, a menstrual pad may include an anterior flat area configured to lie against the vagina and/or absorb menstrual fluids and a posterior bulge configured to fit into an intergluteal cleft. For example, the bulge may have the form of a triangular fin. Optionally, the pad is reformed from the flat configuration to its 3D configuration by folding a posterior portion of the pad.

A packaged feminine care absorbent article has an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer. The absorbent structure is attached directly to the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article is configurable between a packaged configuration and a use configuration. The absorbent structure is folded longitudinally about at least one transverse fold line and transversely about at least one longitudinal fold line in the packaged configuration. A portion of the shell overlies a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration.
