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 array of absorbent articles each having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core is described. A first absorbent article has a first physical feature disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core, and a second absorbent article has a second physical feature disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The first physical feature has a first length between 27 and 77 percent of a first absorbent core length. The second physical feature has a second length between 27 and 77 percent of a second absorbent core length. The first length is less than the second length, and the first physical feature comprises a convex portion oriented toward a first end of the first absorbent article and/or the second physical feature comprises a convex portion oriented toward a first end of the second absorbent article.

The present application discloses novel hot-melt adhesive formulations, with excellent processability, even in processes at high line-speed and at a relatively low temperature, the formulations suitable for strongly bonding substrates that have openings, holes, voids or pores, both macroscopic and microscopic ones, like perforated plastic films, both with bidimensional or tridimensional structure; fibrous substrates, both woven and non-woven; porous plastic films, and the like, all mentioned substrates being widely used for the manufacturing of absorbent hygienic articles. The hot-melt formulations include, as their main or even unique constituent, at least one polymer composition formed by two polyolefins, substantially non-stereospecific, as showed by the low value of their crystallization enthalpy at time zero, the polyolefins having average Number Molecular Weights Mn that do not differ for more than about 6,000 g/mole, being the single average Number Molecular Weights of said polyolefins ranging from about 3,000 g/mole and about 30,000 g/mole.

A menstrual pad assembly for absorbing menstrual fluids includes a menstrual pad that has a first portion which is perpendicularly oriented with a second portion such that the menstrual pad forms a plus shape. An absorbent member extends upwardly from the second portion of the menstrual pad to extend between a user’s genitalia and the user’s buttocks when the menstrual pad is worn. The absorbent member absorbs bodily fluids thereby inhibiting the bodily fluids from escaping the menstrual pad. A ridge extends upwardly from the second portion of the menstrual pad to surround the user’s genitalia when the menstrual pad is worn. The ridge is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to inhibit bodily fluids from escaping the second portion.

Absorbent articles having components bearing graphics printed using particular inkjet ink compositions and fluid sets are disclosed. The aqueous inkjet ink compositions may have a dynamic viscosity ≤5 centipoise (5 mPa-sec) at 25° C., and include: (a) a polymer-dispersed pigment colorant at 0.9-6 weight %; (b) a composition consisting of one or more compounds represented by the following Structure (I):
HO—CH.sub.2—CH.sub.2—R  (I)
wherein R may be a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenoxy group, at 0.5-2 weight %; and (c) a water-soluble humectant, co-solvents, or both, at 20 weight %. Each colorant may have a 50th percentile particle diameter ≤70 nm and a 95th percentile particle diameter ≤150 nm. Replenishment or maintenance fluids containing a Structure (I) compound may also be used. Methods for printing using the aqueous inkjet ink compositions and the fluid sets are also disclosed.
