A disposable absorbent pant having a front belt portion and a rear belt portion is disclosed. The front and rear belt portions are joined at side seams and the rear belt portion has a greater length than the front belt portion. A lower edge of the rear belt portion forms at least in part edges of left and right leg openings to the rear of the side seams. The rear belt portion includes first and second layers of nonwoven web material sandwiching a plurality of laterally extending and laterally pre-strained elastic strands, disposed below the side seams. A first of the plurality of elastic strands differs from a second of the plurality of elastic strands by one or more of amount of pre-strain, tensile modulus, decitex, and combinations thereof.

A stretch laminate is disclosed. The stretch laminate may include a layer of nonwoven material that includes an accumulation of filaments and has an inner surface and an outer surface, the outer surface having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone having an attenuated region adjacent to a build-up region wherein the attenuated region has a first basis weight and the build-up region has a second basis weight greater than the first basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The stretch laminate may include a plurality of elastic strands space apart from each other in a crotch-stretch direction. In some examples the elastic strands may have an Average Strand Spacing no greater than 3 mm and/or an Average Decitex no greater than 300, and/or an Average Pre-Strain no greater than 250 percent.

An absorbent article including an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet and a liquid-impermeable backsheet, wherein the absorbent core includes an absorbent component enclosed by a core cover including an upper side and a lower side, and a sealing arrangement for joining the upper and lower sides and including two channel sealings in the crotch portion defining a first channel sealing width and a second channel sealing width. The channel sealings are formed by thermo and/or mechanical welding pattern including a plurality of welding spots being arranged in the form of a first row along the longitudinal axis in which each welding spot extends along a first axis, and a second row along the longitudinal axis in which each welding spot extends along a second axis, the first axis and second axis defining a first angle in relation to each other.

An AM/AV material, comprising a topsheet layer comprising fibers comprising a topsheet polymer composition, a backsheet layer comprising fibers comprising a backsheet polymer composition; and an absorbent core configured therebetween, wherein the fibers of at least one of the layers, e.g., the topsheet layer, comprise an AM/AV compound, and wherein the fibers of the topsheet layer demonstrate a rewet value less than 5 g after a first water application and/or a Staph aureus efficacy log reduction greater than 2.6, as measured in accordance with ISO 20743:2013.

Pulpless absorbent cores and methods of manufacture are disclosed. A method of forming an absorbent core may comprise moving a forming surface in a machine direction, creating a pressure differential across the forming surface, advancing a base carrier sheet on the forming surface in the machine direction, applying a first adhesive onto the base carrier sheet, and applying a first quantity of particulate material onto the first adhesive at a first cross-machine direction width. The method may further comprise depositing a matrix of material onto the first quantity of particulate material at a second cross-machine direction width, the matrix of material comprising a second quantity of particulate material and a second adhesive, wherein the second cross-machine direction width is smaller than the first cross-machine direction width, and wherein the second quantity of particulate material and the adhesive are pre-mixed prior to deposition onto the first quantity of particulate material.

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure may comprise a cover having an adhesive, a manifold, a perforated polymer film, and a perforated silicone gel having a treatment aperture. The cover, the manifold, the perforated polymer film, and the perforated silicone gel may be assembled in a stacked relationship with the cover and the perforated silicone gel enclosing the manifold. The perforated polymer film may be at least partially exposed through the treatment aperture, and at least some of the adhesive may be exposed through the perforated silicone around the treatment aperture.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core and a cushion layer between the absorbent core and the backsheet. The cushion layer comprises at least two sub-layers. The sub-layers advantageously have different widths or are bonded to each other by one or more longitudinally-extending attachment areas.

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property. The nonwoven further has a plurality of apertures, wherein at least a portion of the aperture abuts at least one of the first region and the second region of the microzone.

Provided is a composite sheet material having a first layer and an airlaid nonwoven layer overlying the first layer wherein the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a blend of bamboo derived staple fibers and non-cellulose staple fibers, and in which the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a first surface disposed towards, and thermally bonded, to a surface of the first layer, and a second surface defining an outer surface of the composite sheet material.

An absorbent repositioning pad includes an upper layer including a liquid permeable material, and a lower layer having relatively lower friction surface than the upper layer. The absorbent repositioning pad further includes a first intermediate layer between the upper and lower layers and including an absorbent material, and a second intermediate layer between the first intermediate layer and the lower layer and including a liquid impermeable material.
