The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising a nonwoven web which is formed from a plurality of trilobal fibers, wherein the lobes of the trilobal fibers each have a ratio of length to width in the range of from 1.5-4, the nonwoven web has a basis weight in the range of from 5-20 gsm, the nonwoven web has a side which is provided with a pattern of bonded areas which defines one or more non-bonded areas, and wherein the surface of the bonded areas is in the range of 10-32% of the total surface of the side and the surface of the non-bonded area(s) is in the range of from 68-90% of the total surface of the side. The invention further relates to the use of the present nonwoven fabric. In addition, the present invention also relates to an absorbent article comprising the present nonwoven fabric.

The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising a nonwoven web which is formed from a plurality of trilobal fibers, wherein the lobes of the trilobal fibers each have a ratio of length to width in the range of from 1.5-4. The present invention also relates to the use of the non-woven fabric in a closure system in an absorbent article or in a reinforcement layer of an absorbent article. In addition, the present invention provides an absorbent article comprising the nonwoven fabric.

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious material, a liquid impervious material, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the liquid pervious material and the liquid impervious material. The absorbent article comprises one or more nonwoven substrates each comprising one or more layers of fibers. A plurality of the fibers each comprise a plurality of fibrils extending outwardly from a surface of the fibers. The plurality of fibrils comprise a lipid ester.

Nonwoven webs/nonwoven laminates for use in absorbent articles are disclosed. The nonwoven laminate includes a first nonwoven web with continuous spunbond crimped fibers and a second web joined to the first nonwoven web. A plurality of apertures extend through at least one of the first nonwoven web or the second web. The nonwoven web includes a plurality of continuous spunbond crimped fibers wherein a plurality of apertures extend through the nonwoven web.

It is an object of the present invention to obtain crimped conjugated fibers having excellent crimp properties. The present invention provides a crimped conjugated fiber having a crimpable cross-sectional configuration, wherein a cross section of the fiber includes at least two portions: a portion (a) and a portion (b); the portion (a) includes an olefin polymer (A) and the portion (b) includes an olefin polymer (B); the olefin polymer (A) differs from the olefin polymer (B) in at least any one of Mz/Mw, melting point and MFR; and a specific fatty acid amide is added to the olefin polymer (A) and/or the olefin polymer (B). The present invention also provides a non-woven fabric including said crimped conjugated fiber.

A nonwoven having a high affinity for an active ingredient is proved, the nonwoven having at least one high surface area fiber in addition to the active ingredient.

A nonwoven having a high affinity for an active ingredient is proved, the nonwoven having at least one high surface area fiber in addition to the active ingredient.

A hollow fiber that extending along at least a portion of the fiber along a longitudinal axis thereof and is defined by an interior wall is provided. Through selective control over the manner in which it is formed, the present inventors have discovered that the hollow fiber can exhibit a unique combination of a high void fraction and small fiber size that makes it particularly suitable for use in certain applications, such as in nonwoven webs for absorbent articles.
