A disposable pant may include a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a leg gasketing system. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff. The inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge.

A machine and method for manufacturing an elastic composite structure for disposable sanitary products involves manufacturing the elastic composite structure with an elasticized leg and leg cuff region in a manner that minimizes or eliminates the use of consumable adhesives. The elastic composite structure includes pairs of leg bonds and cuff bonds that are formed without adhesive and anchor respective leg and cuff elastic threads in position relative to facing web layers. The leg bonds and cuff bonds are formed using one or more anvils that include discrete raised projections.

An absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310) can include a chassis (11) including an absorbent body (34). The chassis (11) can include a body facing surface (19). The absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310) can also include a waist containment member (54, 154, 254). The waist containment member (54, 154, 254) can include a proximal portion (76) coupled to the body facing surface (19) of the chassis (11) and a distal portion (78) that includes a free edge (88). The distal portion (78) can be free to move with respect to the chassis (11) when the absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310) is in a relaxed configuration. The free edge (88) can be about 50.0 millimeters or less from the rear waist edge (24) of the absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310) when the absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310) is in the stretched, laid-flat configuration.

A disposable absorbent underwear product includes a garment layer, an absorbent insert, a non-woven patch, and a barrier. The absorbent insert has a fluid-impermeable base layer, an absorbent core, and a fluid-permeable top layer. The non-woven patch covers an end of the absorbent insert. A first portion of the non-woven patch is adhered to both the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent insert and the garment layer with an adhesive. A second portion of the non-woven patch is free and forms a pouch. An end portion of the absorbent core is disposed adjacent to the second portion of the non-woven patch. The barrier extends along a width of the absorbent insert. The barrier extends through the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent core and connects the fluid-impermeable base layer and the one non-woven patch to direct fluid flow to the absorbent core and militate against fluid overflow.

Disclosed is a pant type absorbent article having a waist guard on the back elastic belt, wherein the waist guard comprises a waist guard elastic portion. The absorbent article has a Blowout Percent Leakage of less than 1% when subjected to the Blowout Method herein.

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and a waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge. The leg gasketing system may also include a pocket. When tested by the Blowout Method Test as described herein, the disposable absorbent article has a Blowout Percent Leakage of less than about 9.0%.

Disposable absorbent articles are disclosed herein having a first and second fold line. The disposable absorbent articles have a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent system disposed therebetween. The absorbent system has a first absorbent core and a second absorbent core which may be configured in an offset manner. And, the absorbent system and/or the first and second fold lines may be configured with respect to the absorbent article to effect a caliper change in the folded article.

A connecting-type disposable wearing article including a three-dimensional waist gather rising from a front surface and being provided along a second blocking position disposed between first back fallen portions of a three-dimensional side gather. The three-dimensional waist gather has: a waist root portion attached along the second blocking position; a second portion extending from the waist root portion toward a waist edge side; second fallen portions formed by fixing both end portions in a width direction of the second portion in a fallen state, respectively; a second rising portion formed to be non-fixed between the second fallen portions in the second portion; and a second three-dimensional elastic member attached at least to a tip portion of the second rising portion, and at least the tip portion of the second rising portion is contracted in the width direction together with the second three-dimensional elastic member and extensible in the width direction.

To improve retainability of the reservoir space. This problems is solved by an attachable-type disposable wearing article including waist elastic members fixed to an end flap, and standup gather parts located on opposed sides in the width direction WD. The front edges of the back laid-down portions are backwardly away from the back edge of an absorber body. First area located backward of the front edge, and second area located between the front edge and the back edge are provided, the second area is raised along the back edge as the standup gather parts contract, and with a portion of the waist stretchable region located in the second area contracted in the width direction WD, ridges extending from the boundary between the first and second areas toward the back edge are formed repeatedly in the width direction WD in the top face of the second area.
