ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH FASTENING SYSTEM
A disposable absorbent article comprising: a liquid permeable topsheet; a liquid impermeable backsheet; and an absorbent core comprising absorbent material therein and being sandwiched between said topsheet and backsheet; the topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core together forming a chassis of said article, wherein said chassis comprises a perimeter formed by first and second transverse edges and first and second longitudinal edges connecting the first and second transverse edges; a longitudinal centerline (y) extending substantially parallel to said first and second longitudinal edges and interposed therebetween such to divide said chassis into a first longitudinal half between said longitudinal centerline (y) and said first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal half between said longitudinal centerline (y) and said second longitudinal edge; and a transverse centerline (x) extending substantially parallel to said first and second transverse edges and interposed therebetween such to divide said chassis into a first transverse half between said transverse centerline (x) and said first transverse edge and a second transverse half between said transverse centerline (x) and said second transverse edge; wherein said article further comprises an outer cover positioned on a garment-facing side of said backsheet and covering at least 75% of an area defined by said perimeter of said chassis; and a fastening system consisting of one or more male fasteners and a female fastening material; and wherein the female fastening material comprises a landing zone arranged to receive said one or more male fasteners thereon to provide a fastening of said one or more male fasteners to said female fastening material, wherein said female fastening material comprises, preferably consists of, said outer cover; wherein the one or more male fasteners comprise one or more first areas of adhesive A1 and one or more second areas of mechanical fastening elements A2 and wherein the total area ratio A1/A2 is from about 0.4 to about 1 and wherein the outer cover may be an embossed nonwoven and the outer cover comprising high-fiber-density areas and low-fiber-density areas, wherein the low-fiber-density areas are at least substantially enclosed by high-fiber-density areas, and wherein the high-fiber-density areas are disposed in a repeated pattern.
DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT INSERT FOR A REUSABLE OUTER SHELL
A disposable absorbent insert for a reusable outer shell includes a liquid-impermeable backsheet having a backsheet first side edge and a backsheet second side edge, an absorbent core disposed between a liquid-permeable and user facing topsheet and the liquid-impermeable backsheet, and a nonwoven outer cover layer overlaying the backsheet and forming an outer surface of the insert. Each leg cuff includes a side portion of the outer cover layer being folded back on itself along a fold line and dividing the side portion of the outer cover layer in a first part and a second part which first and second parts together form a leg cuff fold, and a plurality of spaced-apart pre-tensioned elastic elements extending in the longitudinal direction inside the leg cuff fold and being attached between the first part and the second part of the leg cuff fold.
Absorbent article with leg gasketing system
Disclosed is a pant type absorbent article comprising a core chassis and a leg gasketing system comprising a pair of wearer facing cuff regions comprising an inner cuff sealing and inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge; a pair of garment facing cuff regions, and a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on wearer facing cuff regions or garment facing cuff regions, each outer cuff elastic element disposed so as to superpose the core side regions and so as to superpose the inner cuff sealings or outward thereof; and wherein the front belt and the absorbent body is joined in a manner such that the front longitudinal end of the outer cuff elastic element in active elasticity superposes the front belt and left unjoined to the front belt.
