ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH CONFORMING FEATURES
A disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and the topsheet. At least a portion of the are depressions, wherein the depressions have a depression centerline bisecting a length and/or width of the depression. A first strut forms a first sidewall of the depression opposite a second sidewall of the depression formed by a second strut, wherein neither of the first strut nor the second strut extend longitudinally and/or laterally beyond the depression centerline by more than 0.75 mm.
Disposable absorbent hygiene product with topsheet and acquisition layer
A disposable absorbent hygiene product is provided, including a main part having a body facing surface intended to face the body of a user and a garment facing surface intended to face away from the body of a user. The main part includes a liquid permeable topsheet at the body facing surface, a liquid impermeable backsheet at the garment facing surface, and an absorbent assembly arranged between the topsheet and the backsheet. The liquid permeable topsheet material includes a hydrophilically treated polypropylene spunbond nonwoven or spunbond/meltblown composite nonwoven, having a basis weight of from 8 to 20 g/m.sup.2. An acquisition layer material is provided sandwiched between said topsheet and said absorbent assembly, being an through air bonded nonwoven.
METHOD OF MAKING ABSORBENT STRUCTURES WITH CHANNELS
A method for making an absorbent structure for use in a disposable absorbent article is provided. The method involves the steps of providing a first moving surface having an absorbent layer-forming reservoir, providing a supply of absorbent material, and depositing a portion of the supply of absorbent material into the absorbent layer-forming reservoir. The method further involves associating the portion of the supply of absorbent material with a first substrate layer and/or a second substrate layer to define an absorbent structure having a channel therein corresponding to the one or more raised strips, and bonding the first substrate layer to the second substrate layer through the channel. The channel is substantially free of the absorbent material.
Elastomeric laminate(s) for absorbent article donning
The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising belts comprising one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or low decitex (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand Test in the Method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm), resulting in a Donning-Ratio from about 1.0 and about 3 to make the article easy to apply and to comfortably maintain the article in place on the wearer.
Absorbent article with conforming features
A disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and the topsheet. At least a portion of the are depressions, wherein the depressions have a depression centerline bisecting a length and/or width of the depression. A first strut forms a first sidewall of the depression opposite a second sidewall of the depression formed by a second strut, wherein neither of the first strut nor the second strut extend longitudinally and/or laterally beyond the depression centerline by more than 0.75 mm.
DISPOSABLE DIAPERS
Disposable absorbent diapers are provided with improved comfort, fit and liquid transportation. The absorbent core of the disposable absorbent diapers includes at least one absorbent structure having a substrate layer and an absorbent layer with channels.

Diposable Absorbent Pants With Containment System
An absorbent pant is provided with a containment system defined by a wearing-facing surface of the absorbent pant. The containment system comprises at least one of the following: a pleated section comprising a plurality of pleats; a channeled section comprising a plurality of alternating ridges and channels; and/or a bubbled section comprising a plurality of hemispherical-shaped bubbles aligned in a plurality of rows.
ODOR-CONTROL ABSORBENT MATERIALS AND ABSORBENT ARTICLES AND RELATED METHODS OF USE AND METHODS OF MAKING
Absorbent materials configured to sequester trimethylamine (TMA), absorbent articles made therefrom, related methods of use, methods of measuring a reduction of free TMA, and related methods of making absorbent articles are described.
Absorbent core
The invention relates to an absorbent core intended for use in a disposable absorbent article, said core comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, a front portion and a rear portion, two longitudinal edges and two transverse edges, and being formed of three layers: an upper layer, an intermediate layer and a lower layer. The upper and lower layers contain less than 25% superabsorbent material. The intermediate layer has three zones with different specific weights: one receiving and distribution zone, one or more transition zones and one or more anti-leakage zones.
