A male incontinence guard including a fluid-impermeable backsheet, a fluid-permeable topsheet, and an absorbent body arranged between said backsheet and said topsheet is disclosed. The guard includes first and second fold lines along which side regions of the article can be folded to cover at least a portion of the absorbent surface of the article. Additional fold lines may be provided to facilitate folding of a lower end region over the first and second side regions. Fastening material is provided to secure the article in the folded configuration. Also, an associated method of manufacturing and a kit comprising an incontinence guard.

The invention relates to a sanitary towel element comprising a first laminar body and a second laminar body, wherein the two laminar bodies are joined in opposition to opposite end parts inside end cavities included in the sanitary towel element. In a folded position, the two laminar bodies are located inside the end cavities that communicate with the outside through cuts located in an exterior laminar piece that forms part of the sanitary towel element. In turn, end sections opposite the first laminar body and end sections opposite the second laminar body include coupling devices configured to fasten the feminine sanitary towel around a part of the woman's body in an unfolded use position of the feminine sanitary towel.

A sanitary napkin positioning garment assembly for use during menstruation includes boxers, which comprises a waist opening and a pair of leg openings so that the boxers can be donned by a female user. Panties are positioned in and engaged to the boxers. The panties are resiliently stretchable and thus conform to a figure of the female user. A sanitary napkin can be attached to the panties so that the sanitary napkin is positioned over a vagina of the female user, for absorbing a flow of blood therefrom.

This invention is designed to allow women to wear disposable strap underwear with bladder pad protection that fits and stretches around the leg rather than the thigh. The stretchable elastic bands claim without size restriction allows the bands to be used in unisex to secure pads, underwear, or pants.

An absorbent article selected from a sanitary napkin, an incontinence pad and a pantyliner, comprising a topsheet layer a backsheet layer a fastening adhesive applied on the backsheet garment facing surface, wherein at least a portion of said fastening adhesive (PFA) is applied in a pattern and wherein said backsheet layer is a plastic film having a basis weight of less than 20 gsm.

An absorbent article selected from a sanitary napkin, an incontinence pad and a pantyliner, comprising a topsheet layer a backsheet layer a fastening adhesive applied on the backsheet garment facing surface, wherein at least a portion of said fastening adhesive (PFA) is applied in a pattern and wherein said backsheet layer is a plastic film having a basis weight of less than 20 gsm.

The present invention is directed to a substrate, in particular textile material to which one or more antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered. The agent(s) is/are adhered to the substrate in such a manner that they are not released from the textile even if the textile is wetted or washed, so that the textile is reusable. Washability and/or usability of the textile are improved where one or more hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered to the textile. The substrate can be used, e.g., in a reusable sanitary napkin or other hygiene product. The structure of the hygiene product is disclosed, together with a process of attaching the different layers of the hygiene product together by ultrasonic welding. The invention further relates to a method of finishing a substrate by applying and binding antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents to the substrate so that the agents are essentially irreversibly adhered to the finished substrate.

A sanitary protective napkin has a backing panel having an overall length, a width and a thickness, in a first shape having an outer periphery, an absorbent pad joined to the backing panel by a first adhesive on one side of the backing panel, the absorbent pad having a second shape, leaving a region of a common width around the outer periphery of the backing panel, and a second adhesive compatible with human skin applied to the region of common width around the periphery of the backing panel on the same side of the backing panel as the absorbent pad, enabling a user to apply the sanitary napkin with no undergarment or other device for anchoring the sanitary napkin.

In this way, a catheter may be disposed through the slit of the device and the two portions may be attached to each other using the fastener to surround a circumference of the catheter. The fastener may be reusable. In some embodiments, the device includes more than one fastener. The fastener may be one or more of an adhesive, a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap fastener, or combinations thereof.
