An individually-packaged absorbent article or an absorbent article. The absorbent article (1) includes a hip-hold portion (H) that includes a side area (10) protruding from a rear side-edge of a body (8). The side area (10) includes a first protruding portion (21) that includes a portion having a largest width from a longitudinal centerline (CL) of the body (8), a first recessed portion (31) adjacent to the rear end of the first protruding portion (21), and a second recessed portion (32) adjacent to the front end of the first protruding portion (21). The absorbent article (1) is folded such that a mountain fold line (Y) is formed in the side area (10) of the hip-hold portion (H), and the mountain fold line (Y) intersects with an edge of the side area (10) of the hip-hold portion (H) at a position between a first inflection point (F1) between the first recessed portion (31) and the first protruding portion (21) and a second inflection point (F2) between the first protruding portion (21) and the second recessed portion (32), and is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal centerline (CL).

The present disclosure relates to a breathable, reusable, leakproof, absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproof and vapor disperser multilayer lining for clothing. A purpose of this lining is to avoid the release of body fluids such as sweat, blood, vaginal fluids, menstrual fluid, urine, breast milk or postoperative fluids.

An auxiliary band and method for securing an absorbent pad onto a vulva region of a female includes an elongated body, a first adhesive, and a second adhesive. The elongated body includes an inner surface adapted to face the vulva region. The inner surface defines a pad section adapted to receive the absorbent pad thereon and a peripheral portion extending along an outer periphery of the inner surface. The first adhesive is disposed on the pad section and is adapted to removably secure the absorbent pad to the pad section. The second adhesive is disposed at least on the peripheral portion and is adapted to removably attach the auxiliary band to the skin surrounding the vulva region.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a sanitary article (1), such as a sanitary napkin or a pantiliner. The sanitary article (1) has a first fastening wing (9) extending at a first longitudinal side edge (5) and a second fastening wing (10) extending at a second longitudinal side edge (6), the first fastening wing (9) having a first wing maximum width (W.sub.fimax) and the second fastening wing (10) having a second wing maximum width (W.sub.f2mx). The first fastening wing (9) comprises a first adhesive region (12) on a garment facing side thereof and the second fastening wing (10) comprises a second adhesive region (13) on a garment facing side thereof, the first and the second adhesive regions (12,13) having a respective adhesive region maximum width (w.sub.aimax, W.sub.a2max). The first and the second adhesive region (12,13) are covered with a common release paper (14,140), the common release paper (14,140) having a width (w.sub.r), as seen in the transverse direction. The first and the second fastening wings (9,10) are arranged in a folded configuration onto the topsheet (2) in a non-overlapping manner. The first and second fastening wings (9,10) are asymmetrical with respect to any transverse and longitudinal axis and the width of the release paper (w.sub.r) is not more than 7 mm greater than the sum of the first and the second adhesive region maximum widths, W.sub.aimax + W.sub.a2max.

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.

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.

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 waste collection device to connect to an interior of an undergarment, the waste collection device including a top layer, including an absorbent surface to absorb at least one liquid thereon, a plurality of reservoirs disposed within at least a portion of the absorbent surface to collect the at least one liquid therein, and a collection channel longitudinally disposed along at least a portion of the absorbent surface to collect at least one fecal matter therein, and a bottom layer removably connected to at least a portion of the top layer to prevent movement of at least one of the at least one liquid and the at least one fecal matter therethrough.

An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article includes a liquid pervious film topsheet having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface; a backsheet having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface; an absorbent core having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface, the absorbent core being provided between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a bonding layer having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface. The body facing surface of the bonding layer has a fibrous matrix comprising cellulosic fibers and thermoplastic fibers, and the garment facing surface of the topsheet is directly bonded to the body facing surface of the bonding layer at discrete adhesive-free bond points.
