A laminate web having a polymer film layer and a nonwoven layer is disclosed. The polymer film layer makes up a first side of the laminate web and the nonwoven layer makes up a second side of the laminate web. The laminate web has a plurality of first elements extending from the polymer film. The web also has a plurality of second elements formed outwardly from the first side of the laminate web.

Fabrics having a desirable softness and exhibiting a low lint level are provided. The fabrics include an embossed bonding pattern, in which the embossed bonding pattern includes a plurality of icons (e.g., geometric shapes, caricatures, etc.). The plurality of icons may be defined by a plurality of perimeter bonding points. Additionally, from 1 to about 10 internal bonding points may be located within at least one of the plurality of icons.

An absorbent article for personal hygiene having a front edge and a back edge and comprising a liquid impermeable backsheet, a liquid permeable topsheet, an absorbent core and a pair of barrier leg cuffs disposed symmetrically relative to the longitudinal axis. Each barrier leg cuff is defined by a proximal edge attached to the rest of the article and an elasticized terminal edge that can protrude upwards. The topsheet comprises a raisable region that is attached to the barrier leg cuffs so that when the barrier leg cuffs are raised, the raisable region is lifted up by the barrier leg cuffs and an empty volume is formed between the raisable region and the chassis of the article underneath.

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, wherein the intensive property is one or more of thickness, basis weight, or volumetric density, and wherein the first surface has a TS7 value of less than about 15 dB V2 rms.

An absorbent article has a dome-shaped convexes protruding to a front surface side arranged on a top sheet including non-woven fabric. Grooves are formed between adjacent convexes and through-holes penetrating the top sheet in a thickness direction are provided at intervals in a circumferential direction of each of the convexes. Peripheral edge portions of the through-holes are high-density portions where constituent fibers of the nonwoven fabric are pushed to parts around the through-holes from positions corresponding to the through-holes. A part of peripheral edges of the convexes is formed by a part of the peripheral edge portions of the through-holes, and a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of an apparent thickness is in a range of 0 to 50% of the maximum value in a portion of the top sheet excluding the peripheral edge portions of the through-holes.

A three-dimensional sheet material can be provided with a pattern of various material treatments. The material treatments can include a pattern of embossments and a pattern of apertures. The three-dimensional sheet material can be utilized in a personal care absorbent article including, but not limited to, diapers, training pants, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products such as sanitary napkins and panty liners, as well as other absorbent article such as bandages and wound dressings.

The present disclosure provides substrates and laminates for absorbent articles and absorbent articles comprising the substrates or laminates. The substrates and laminates may have three-dimensional elements, land areas, and increased permeability regions intermediate at least some of the land areas and at least some of the three-dimensional elements. The increased permeability regions may be positioned adjacent to the three-dimensional elements. The land areas may have a first basis weight and the increased permeability regions may have a second basis weight. The first basis weight may be greater than the second basis weight.

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween is described. The topsheet has an array of apertures forming apertured indicia. The array of apertures includes a first plurality of apertures having a first aspect ratio; a second plurality of apertures having a second aspect ratio and a first Absolute Feret Angle; and a third plurality of apertures having a third aspect ratio and a second Absolute Feret Angle, wherein the first Absolute Feret Angle and the second Absolute Feret Angle are different, and wherein the first aspect ratio is less than the second and third aspect ratios.

An absorbent article, containing a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent body interposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, in which the topsheet has an arrangement portion of a liquid film cleavage agent in a thickness intermediate position.

Disclosed is a nonwoven laminate having a texture for improved absorption and distribution of body liquids in sanitary products. The absorption and distribution effect is caused by perforations distributed in a pattern-like manner in combination with elevations present on one side of the nonwoven laminate.
