A skin-friendly absorbent structure providing oxygen, comprising a absorbing layer and skin-friendly and oxygen-providing units, the skin-friendly and oxygen-providing unit being evenly dispersed in partial or entire scope of the absorbing layer wherein the skin-friendly and oxygen-providing unit comprises oxygen providing units and pH regulating units; and the pH of the skin-friendly absorbent structure is between 4 and 7 after absorbing liquids.

An Enhanced Sanitary Pad has various optional devices associated therewith in order to ameliorate painful conditions and also signal the amount of liquids absorbed therein. In this regard, cooling crystals are embedded within an absorbent layer attached to a plastic backing material. Another option has a cooling strip associated with the pad at either end thereof, on the longitudinal sides of the pad, at a side of an optional raised protrusion located on the pad or on the raised protrusion itself. This protrusion is also formed of tightly wound absorbent material and is either stitched or supported with adhesive interlay to maintain its shape; it is optionally removable from the pad and associated therewith using corresponding velcro interlocks.

An absorbent article includes a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core contains superabsorbent polymer material and about 10% or less by weight of cellulosic fibers. The backsheet comprises a film comprising a plurality of micropores. The film comprises odor absorbing material disposed in one or more of the micropores.

An absorbent article is provided with microencapsulated phase change material (microPCM) particles that are embedded in and/or coated onto a layer of the absorbent article that includes a resilient sheet of an open-cell foam. The foam layer is disposed such that it is in contact with or is in proximity to the user. The microPCM particles absorb heat generated during use of the absorbent article to reduce the contact temperature on the inside of the absorbent article and improve the comfort of the user. To maximize comfort, the phase change temperature of the microPCM particles may be an average normal body temperature.

A hygiene protective pouch comprising: a main panel including a front side, and back side including a plurality of outer edge portions; and secondary panel member. One of the plurality of outer edge portions includes an adhesive thereon adapted such that the main panel can be folded upon itself forming an interior volume that becomes sealed via said adhesive. secondary panel member is smaller in size than said main panel and is includes a plurality of outer edge portions connected to said main portion forming a pocket having an interior volume. The hygiene protective pouch is adapted to receive a soiled hygienic item within the interior volume of the pocket, folded upon itself, and sealed via the adhesive for disposal thereof. A combination is also disclosed of a tampon and a hygiene protective pouch, the combination comprising a tampon and a hygiene protective pouch.

The present invention relates to an absorbent structure and an absorbent article containing said absorbent structure. The absorbent structure, having a sequence of layers connected together, comprises a first outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, a second outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, and a fluid storage layer made from airlaid material arranged between the first and second outer absorbent layers, wherein the airlaid material of the first outer absorbent layer comprises first cellulose fibres, the airlaid material of the second outer absorbent layer comprises second cellulose fibres and the airlaid material of the fluid storage layer comprises third cellulose fibres and super-absorbent components, wherein the first and second cellulose fibres have a lower pH value than the third cellulose fibres and the pH value of the first and second cellulose fibres is less than 5.0.

An absorbent article includes a chassis having a substantially rectangular shape a first portion, a second portion and a crotch portion extending between the first and second portion, a portion of the chassis being configured to absorb fluids. The absorbent article includes a first securement portion operatively coupled to the first portion of the chassis. The absorbent article includes a second securement portion operatively coupled to the second portion of the chassis and configured to releasably attach to the first securement portion. The chassis is configured to include one of a first chassis length or a second chassis length. When the chassis includes the first length, the chassis includes a first width and the first securement portion includes a second width, and when the chassis includes the second length, the chassis includes the first width and the first securement portion includes a third width, greater than the second width.

The present disclosure relates to an array of disposable inserts (25,26) for an absorbent assembly (1), the array comprising: a first package comprising a plurality of first inserts (25) for an absorbent assembly (1), configured to be arranged on or at least partially within an outer shell (2); a second package comprising a plurality of second inserts (26) for absorbent assembly (1), configured to be arranged on or at least partially within an outer shell (2); each first and second insert (25,26) comprising a topsheet (8), a backsheet (9) and an absorbent core (10) comprising absorbent material (23) arranged in between the topsheet (8) and backsheet (9);
the first insert (25) comprising a first absorbency as measured by method and the second insert (26) comprising a second absorbency as measured by method; wherein, the first absorbency is greater than the second absorbency. The disclosure also pertains to an absorbent assembly (1) and to an array of absorbent assemblies (1).

A particulate water-absorbent resin composition is provided which can suppress the odor of trimethylamine in addition to the odor of acetaldehyde, in other words, which can simultaneously suppress complex odors. In this particulate water-absorbent resin composition, which contains a hydrazide compound support and a particulate water-absorbent resin, the median particle diameter of the particulate water-absorbent resin is 100-600 m.

The present invention provides a water absorbent resin composition which suppresses acetaldehyde odor, while being suppressed in coloring with time. A water absorbent resin composition which contains a hydrazide compound carrier and a water absorbent resin, wherein: the degree of yellowing is 10 or less if 2.0 g of this water absorbent resin composition is held at a temperature of 70° C. at a relative humidity of 90% for 7 days; and if 10.0 g of this water absorbent resin composition and 900 ml of a nitrogen gas having an acetaldehyde concentration of 20 ppm are sealed in a hermetically sealed bag having a volumetric capacity of 2 liters, the acetaldehyde concentration of the gas in the hermetically sealed hag measured after a lapse of one hour is 15 ppm or less.
