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.

An absorbent article including a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core sandwiched between the topsheet and the backsheet, the article being arranged along a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis and the main article defining a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion, wherein the absorbent core is formed with a sealing arrangement including two channel sealings extending along the longitudinal axis in the crotch portion and defining a first effective channel sealing width and a second effective channel sealing width, respectively. The sealing arrangement includes two side seams extending along two side edges of the core, the side seams defining a third and fourth effective width, respectively, along the crotch portion and defining a fifth and sixth effective width, respectively, along the front portion and back portion.

Provided is an individually-wrapped sanitary napkin N, in which a sanitary napkin 1 is folded lengthwise with a wrapping sheet 10 and wrapped individually, the sanitary napkin 1 including an inner surface sheet 3 that constitutes a skin-contacting surface layer and a pair of wing-like flaps W that have wing adhesive layers 9 for fixing the wing-like flaps W to the underwear. The wing-like flaps W are both folded to the skin-contacting surface side, and the wing adhesive layers 9, provided in the folded portions of the wing-like flaps W, are collectively covered by a wing separating sheet 12, and a functional chemical 20 having a specific function is contained in the inner surface sheet 3 in the area where the wing separating sheet 12 is layered.

An absorbent pad for use in a garment is disclosed. The absorbent pad includes a liquid impermeable barrier layer and a functional layer disposed adjacent to the barrier layer, the functional layer having a liquid absorbent component. The absorbent pad also includes a first attaching element coupled to a periphery of the functional layer and a periphery of the barrier layer; and a second attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion coupled to the first attaching element. The second portion of the second attaching element is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment. The absorbent pad is washable and reusable.
