An auxiliary band and method for securing an absorbent pad onto a vulva region of a female includes an elongated body, a first adhesive, and a second adhesive. The elongated body includes an inner surface adapted to face the vulva region. The inner surface defines a pad section adapted to receive the absorbent pad thereon and a peripheral portion extending along an outer periphery of the inner surface. The first adhesive is disposed on the pad section and is adapted to removably secure the absorbent pad to the pad section. The second adhesive is disposed at least on the peripheral portion and is adapted to removably attach the auxiliary band to the skin surrounding the vulva region.

The present disclosure relates to a diaper fastening tab (10) comprising a user's end (70) to be gripped by a user, an opposite manufacturer's end (80), a first and a second major surface, a user's end portion (50) adjacent to the user's end (70), a manufacturer's end portion (60) adjacent to the manufacturer's end (80), wherein the user's end portion (50) comprises on the first major surface a first and at least one second strip (30), (40) of mechanical fastening elements (32), (42) each with a different peel strength as measured according to ASTM D 5170-98, wherein a first strip (30) with a higher peel strength is located towards the user's end (70) and at least one second strip (40) with a lower peel strength is located towards the manufacturer's end (80). The present disclosure further relates to a roll (110) of diaper fastening tape (120) from which such diaper fastening tabs (100) can be obtained as well as to a diaper (150) comprising such a diaper fastening tab (100). The present disclosure moreover relates to a method of making such a diaper fastening tab (100) as well as to a method of making a diaper (150) with such diaper fastening tabs (100).

The problem is to provide excellent slipping-down preventive property with a simpler structure. This problem is solved by an attachable-type disposable wearing article configured so that, in the natural length state, as the unfixed area 52 contracts, a pair of side areas 60 of the end flap EF positioned lateral to the unfixed area 52 are obliquely drawn closer as they extend backward, which results in formation of transverse portion 62 extending in the width direction WD at the back edge of intermediate area 61 located between the pair of side areas 60, while obliquely backward portions 63 are formed at the back edges of the side areas 60 positioned more backward as they extend laterally, and in the spread state, the back edge of the end flap EF extends along the width direction WD over the extent including from one of the obliquely backward portions 63 to the other.

An absorbent insert includes a first lateral end and a second lateral end; and an adjustable attachment area. The adjustable attachment area includes an adjustment portion and an engageable portion, wherein the adjustment portion is capable of attaching a first segment of the absorbent insert to a second segment of the absorbent insert and wherein the engageable portion is capable of attaching the absorbent insert to an outer cover.

Described herein are adhesive support devices, which may include adhesive medical devices. In particular, three-dimensional adhesive medical devices from a single layer of material, typically by stamping or pressing (including cold pressing) a sheet of the material to form rigid and complex 3D shapes capable of use for a variety of medical and non-medical purposes. These adhesive support devices typically also include an adhesive material allowing the device to be attached to a subject's skin and/or mounted on a surface (e.g., wall, etc.). In particular, described herein are methods of manufacturing, assembling, and using adhesive support devices.

An apparatus that includes an absorber, a positioner, and an estimator, where the positioner and estimator are coupled to the absorber. The absorber includes absorbent material configured to capture nasal drainage. The positioner places the absorber in proximity to a person's nose. The estimator provides an indication of an amount of drainage captured by the absorber.
