A nonwoven fabric is disclosed. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and at least a first visually discernible zone 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, and the first visually discernible zone can exhibit a high visual resolution.

A feminine hygiene pad is disclosed. The pad may include a topsheet comprising a nonwoven web, and a fluid management layer beneath the topsheet. The web may include bicomponent staple fibers having an average denier of 1.5 to 2.5 and a sheath-core configuration, have a basis weight of about 18 gsm to 40 gsm, and a plurality of randomly-distributed inter-fiber bonds wherein sheaths of adjacent fibers are fusion-bonded together without compression. The sheaths may comprise PE and the cores may comprise PET, in a weight ratio of 40:60 to 60:40. The web may be formed predominantly of hydrophobic fibers, or the web may include a blend of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers, in a weight ratio of 30:70 to 70:30, wherein fiber hydrophilicity is effected by application of a surface treatment composition. The topsheet may bear an application of an anti-stick agent and/or have a pattern of apertures therethrough.

An absorbent repositioning pad includes an upper layer including a liquid permeable material, and a lower layer having relatively lower friction surface than the upper layer. The absorbent repositioning pad further includes a first intermediate layer between the upper and lower layers and including an absorbent material, and a second intermediate layer between the first intermediate layer and the lower layer and including a liquid impermeable material.

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, and wherein in at least one of the microzones, the first region is hydrophobic and the second region is hydrophilic.

The present disclosure presents a stain reduction improvement of a disposable absorbent article by applying a hydrophobic barrier formulation to a topsheet and/or absorbent core area of the article and thereafter embossing the treated area with heat and pressure. A barrier is thus created wherein the barrier is along the full length of the embossment.

The present disclosure relates to an absorbent article comprising a liquid-permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core sandwiched between the topsheet and the backsheet, the absorbent article extending in a longitudinal direction (L) and in a transverse direction (T), the absorbent article defining a front waist portion, a rear waist portion and a crotch portion arranged between the rear waist portion and the front waist portion as seen in the longitudinal direction (L) and a buttocks portion arranged between the crotch portion and the rear waist portion. The topsheet comprises a first lubricant zone provided with a lubricant agent, the first lubricant zone being arranged over the buttock's portion.
