Feminine hygiene articles are disclosed herein. The feminine hygiene articles described herein can provide easily discernable placement and orientation guides which reduce the likelihood of misapplication by the user, facilitated attachment guides which can reduce the likelihood of misapplication of the feminine pad, and can also reduce the likelihood of improper attachment of the feminine pad to a panty. The feminine hygiene articles disclosed include uniquely shaped wings which can provide cues on proper attachment of the article to the panty and may help in providing sustained coverage of the feminine hygiene article to the panty which reduces the likelihood that the pad will become detached during use.

A system of pantiliners and menstrual pads that can be used to alleviate undesirable conditions associated with dysmenorrhea or other physiological conditions is provided. The pantiliners of the invention include a top layer of composite material, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The menstrual pads of the invention include a top layer of composite material, an air-laid layer, a layer of super adsorbent polymer inside the air-laid layer, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The present system of pantiliners and menstrual pads is helpful in providing a decrease of pain and other unwanted symptoms during a menstrual cycle. In another advantage, the right placement guide and the left placement guide are provided to assist in placing the menstrual pads of the invention accurately in relation to the undergarment of the user.

A sanitary napkin increases and ensures secure protection with an adhesive having a solid alignment lock. The sanitary napkin preferably has an extended length and is provided with a sponge-like rear filter to absorb tunnel-patterned bodily excretions. A generally diamond shaped padding absorbs bodily excretions from the vaginal region. Notably, the stronger adhesive locks the body in alignment with an undergarment.

Absorbent articles including sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence pads, wherein an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is reduced from rising by the contraction force of an elastic stretchable member, and the absorption performance is improved and lateral leakage is prevented. In FIG. 5, a sanitary napkin 1 includes a side nonwoven fabric 7 that has an absorber 4 interposed between a permeable front sheet 3 and an impermeable back sheet 2 and forms a solid gather BS rising on each of both side portions on a skin side by a contraction force due to an elastic stretchable member 14. The side nonwoven fabric 7 has a fixed zone 20 joined to the absorbent article 4 side by folding back in both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the napkin, a standing zone 21 rising on a skin side by joining the elastic stretchable member 14 in an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the napkin, and a non-fixed zone 22 where the elastic stretchable member 14 is neither joined between the fixed zone 20 and standing zone 21 nor joined to the absorber 4 side.

A feminine night pad is described having multiple layers of absorbent material selectively stacked in a manner to define a body portion and a central portion. Each portion is laid upon an upper surface of a trim member including an impermeable sheet. The body portion has a plurality of absorbing layers set in from the edge of the trim member. The central portion is built upon the body portion and includes one or more layers of additional absorbent material. The trim member is covered in absorbent material and extends around the entire periphery of the body portion. The trim member and corresponding portions are formed into a triangular shape to better conform to a woman's body.

An odor and menses absorption device includes a user contact layer and at least one adjoining super absorbent core layer. Fluid can move from the user contact layer to the super absorbent core layer. The user contact layer contains a blend of polylactic acid fiber and bamboo charcoal fiber and acts as a barrier to fluids with a surface tension greater than 30 dynes.

An absorbent article which can be more readily adaptable to meet the needs of the individual wearer of the absorbent article includes a topsheet layer, a backsheet layer, and an absorbent core between the topsheet layer and the backsheet layer. The absorbent article further includes an extendable portion capable of being utilized by the wearer to provide additional area of coverage as deemed suitable by the wearer of the absorbent article.

The invention described herein is directed to athletic apparel having a novel integrated gusset structure positioned in the apparel's crotch and further configured to capture and retain bodily fluids, and preferably uncontrolled urine released during athletic stress.

Problem

To suppress skin touch feeling from being deteriorated and further provide excellent wearing feeling, while ensuring sufficient adhesive strength in an adhesion part of a side sheet.

Solution

In the present invention, a pair of left and right side sheets 7 are provided over the entire length of both side parts on a skin-contact surface. A sanitary napkin 1 includes overlapped regions T where a front-surface sheet 3 and the side sheets 7 are overlapped with each other, on the both side parts of the sanitary napkin 1 along the longitudinal direction. In each of the overlapped regions T, a side-sheet embossed part 10 is formed on the side sheet 7, and an inter-sheet embossed part 9 is formed to make the side sheet 7 and the front-surface sheet 3 adhere to each other. The total area of the side sheet embossed part 10 is formed smaller than the total area of the inter-sheet embossed part 9.

A water repellent is applied to a spun lace nonwoven fabric in which a surface sheet comprises 100% by weight of cotton fibers, and a large number of openings that penetrate the obverse and reverse surfaces are formed in at least a portion that corresponds to an excretory opening. A heat-fusible fiber sheet is disposed adjacent to the absorber side surface of the surface sheet. A plurality of adhesive portions are formed between the surface sheet and the heat-fusible fiber sheet along the longitudinal direction and spaced apart in the widthwise direction of an incontinence pad. A compressed groove recessed from the outer surface of the surface sheet toward the absorber is formed close to the adhesive portions.
