This invention is an absorbent article and more particularly to an improved absorbent device that is worn in body clefts, in particular interlabially by female wearers for catamenial purposes, incontinence protection, or both and in the anal crease for light faecal incontinence or in the context of haemorrhoids, or underarm sweat-pads.

A folded absorbent article, wherein: the absorbent article (1) comprises a top sheet (2), a back sheet (3) and an absorbent body (4) provided therebetween; the absorbent article (1) is folded in three in the front-rear direction with a skin facing side inside so that a front part (11) and a rear part (13) overlap with a middle part (12); the absorbent body (4) is provided so as to extend from the middle part (12) to the front part (11) and the rear part (13); and an anti-slipping member (7) is provided in the middle part (12) so as to overlap with the absorbent body (4) and attaching-fixing members (8) made of a hook member or an adhesive layer are provided in the front part (11) and the rear part (13) on a non-skin facing side of the back sheet (4).

An absorbent article has a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis and includes a liquid permeable topsheet on the wearer-facing side, a liquid impermeable backsheet on the garment-facing side, and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a core wrap having a top side and a bottom side, an absorbent material having a deposition area between the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap, and at least two channels substantially free of absorbent material within the deposition area. In a first type of channels, the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are bonded to each other. In a second type of channels, the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are not bonded or are less bonded to each other than in the first type of channels.

A multi-piece diapering system is based on a removable, disposable absorbent channel insert diaper having hydrophobic interior leg gathers and a water impermeable backer, but without waist tabs or bands or elastic to secure the channel to the user and optionally without leg cuffs. The absorbent channel insert may be used in a single-use disposable diaper to allow such disposable diaper to be re-used multiple times by replacing the channel insert diaper when soiled. The absorbent channel insert diaper may also be used with underwear as the supporting shell, or with other exterior diaper shells or base layer diapers.

An absorbent article has a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a first type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are bonded to another, and a second type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are not bonded or are less bonded to one another in this second type of channels than in the first type of channels. The absorbent material may also include cellulose and superabsorbent particles.

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.

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.

An absorbent article has a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a first type of channels and a second type of channels. The first type of channels have bonds with a Static Peel Force Time which is higher than the Static Peel Force Time of the second type of channels.

The present invention relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising first and second compression lines in a forward region of the article. The article has a core with a first area which has its narrowest width (M) in the transverse direction (x) in a front portion or at a location of a transition between the front portion and a crotch portion of the article. The absorbent core in the crotch portion comprises the first and second compression lines, which are separated from each other at their closest point by a minimum distance D1, measured in the transverse direction.

The present invention relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising a pair of curved compression lines in a rear portion of the article. The article has a core with a first region which has its narrowest width (M) in the transverse direction (x) in a front portion or at a location of a transition between the front portion and a crotch portion of the article. The absorbent core in the rear portion comprises the first (L1, R1) and second (L2, R2) pairs of rear compression lines, which extend in a longitudinal direction (y) between respective front and rear endpoints. A transverse distance (G3min) separates the rear endpoints of the pair of compression lines whilst a second, larger distance (G3max) separates the front endpoints of the compression lines.
