The invention provides an absorbent article comprising an indication means for indicating the presence of bodily exudates, the indication means comprising a color-changing indication means, wherein the absorbent article and the indication means form one integral unit, the article further comprising a indication device, which comprises a housing and a connection means, such that the indication device can be attached to the absorbent article and be detached from the absorbent article, wherein the indication device comprises a color sensor.

A transversely extensible elastic laminar web material comprising a first and a second web material each of which defines a first and a second distal region adjacent to corresponding longitudinal side edges and a central region between the aforesaid distal regions, at least one web of elastomeric material applied to these central regions of the first and second web materials and a plurality of connection formations applied to at least one distal region of said first and second web materials and projecting from a respective longitudinal edge. In the transversely extensible elastic laminar web material, the elastomeric web material and the connection formations are interposed between said first and second web materials and are joined thereto by mechanical welds.

The present disclosure relates to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be used as components of absorbent articles. The elastomeric laminates may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and an elastic material located between the first and second substrates. During assembly of an elastomeric laminate, a beam is rotated to unwind the elastic strands from the beam, wherein the strands may include a spin finish. First bonds are applied to bond discrete lengths of the stretched elastic strands with and between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the discrete first bonds are arranged intermittently along the machine direction. In addition, second bonds are applied between consecutive first bonds to bond the first and second substrates directly to each other, wherein the second bonds extend in the machine direction and may be separated from each other in a cross direction by at least one elastic strand.

A stretchable structure is provided with an elastic member provided between a first sheet layer and a second sheet layer. A stretchable region and a non-stretchable region are alternatively repeated three or more regions from end to end in the stretching direction of the stretchable structure. Both ends are the stretchable region. Both of the ends have an adhesive region of a hot melt adhesive, where the elastic member is adhered to the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer, in a spread state, intervals between adhesive regions adjacent in the stretching direction are all the same, twice of a stretching direction length of the adhesive region positioned on both ends in the stretching direction of the stretchable structure and a stretching direction length of the adhesive region positioned at an end portion on the non-stretchable region side of the stretchable region are all the same.
