A personal care absorbent article is disclosed which employs a combination of void spaces, also referred to as channels, in the crotch region of the article in conjunction with shaping elastic members located outside the lateral side edges of the absorbent core, that, when coupled with strategic alignment of certain components and specifically-located folding lines, will create an article with improved convex or outward curvature of the chassis upon unfolding which provides increased spatial separation of the topsheet or body side liner of the article from the genital area of the wearer. In addition, due to the manipulation of the specific location of such elements in the article, gender specific product designs can be created which are specifically tailored to more appropriately deal with the differences in location of the male and female genitalia.

The present invention includes a male incontinence collection container comprising: a walled absorbent cored absorption chamber with an elastic aperture adapted to allow a penis to be in fluid communication with the chamber, wherein the chamber is shaped to deflect urine away from a body during urination, and wherein the elastic aperture is defined further as a breathable, tubular material to aid in the placement and retention in place of the penis; a hydrophobic material positioned between the chamber and the body to prevent contact of the urine with the body; and an absorbent material in the chamber that converts fluid to gel in fluid communication with the chamber, wherein the absorbent material absorbs and retains urine, while keeping a user dry and free from urine contact.

An absorbent article and enclosing pants and a method for wearing the combination thereof are provided. The absorbent article has a front lifting section and a rear lifting section that are provided with apertures to allow male and female parts of hook-and-loop fasteners of the enclosing pants to touch inside the apertures and to engage outside the apertures for preventing skidding. An isolating absorbent article may have an easy tear line opening for selectively tearing and tightly surrounding around a rear root portion of the scrotum to isolate the external sex organ and for installation or extension of a urine tube or a urine sack. The enclosing pants has the front pad and a rear pad having two lifting and looping sections and a central opening section, the central opening for fixing and correspond the easy tear line opening.

An absorbent undergarment with a tunable absorbent portion. The tunable portion being tunable to absorb and/or capture both fluid materials as well as more viscous, solid, and/or semi-solid materials. Thus, the undergarment affords the user improved wearability as well as comfort and avoids unwanted odors from exposed material.

The present disclosure is directed to disposable absorbent articles and arrays of disposable absorbent articles which are designed to fit a range of wearers having different physiological, psychological and cognitive needs which can be impacted by product form and level of engagement required during application as well as by the final appearance fit and function of the article.

This disclosure includes absorbent articles that comprise a chassis having a recessed region disposed between opposing longitudinal edge portions. A thickness of the chassis within the recessed region can be at least 10% smaller than a thickness of the chassis within each of the longitudinal edge portions such that the chassis defines a longitudinally-extending recess configured to receive a phallus of a wearer.

A fitting to a male genitalia has a male-genitalia-facing portion. Portions on both sides thereof in a width direction, in an outer member of a front body, have an elastic film stretchable structure in which an elastic film is stacked between a first sheet layer and a second sheet layer, which are bonded by sheet bonded portions arranged at intervals. A change region is included in which an area rate of the bonded portions decreases stepwise or continuously from a central portion of the male-genitalia-facing portion in a width direction to the portions of the both sides of the male-genitalia-facing portion in the width direction. A portion of the change region other than a portion having the highest area rate of the bonded portions, is contracted in the width direction due to contraction of the elastic film in a natural length state and is extensible in the width direction.
