An absorbent article has a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a first type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are bonded to another, and a second type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are not bonded or are less bonded to one another in this second type of channels than in the first type of channels. The absorbent material may also include cellulose and superabsorbent particles.

Provided is an absorbent pad which prevents leakage of excess liquid excrement to the exterior. An absorbent pad sheet forms an absorbent pad from a liquid-permeable front sheet and a liquid permeable rear sheet, and absorbent polymer particles which absorb liquid excrement and which are provided between the front sheet and the rear sheet. The width in the width direction formed between both side parts folded to the inside is formed as 10-50% of the width of the absorbent pad in the width direction, and some of the absorbent polymer particles at the place at which folding to the inside occurs are made to penetrate the front sheet at the place at which folding to the inside occurs.

A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core located in a chassis and including absorbent particulate polymer material defining at least one cavity. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free or comprise a combination of particulate absorbent polymer material and wood pulp. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.

An absorbent article is disclosed, including a three-dimensional material formed of a liquid permeable topsheet and an acquisition material. The acquisition material is positioned beneath the topsheet, and both may be formed of nonwoven material. The three dimensional material may have two surfaces and a plurality of protrusions extending in a z-direction from one of the surfaces, each protrusion having side walls defining an opening in the other of the surfaces. One of the topsheet and the acquisition material may include fibers spun of polymer resin pigmented with a first color that differs from a second color of fibers of the other of the topsheet and the acquisition material, and the differing colors are visible when viewing a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article.

An absorbent article has a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, and includes a fluid permeable topsheet, a fluid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core enclosed between the topsheet and the backsheet having, in the longitudinal direction, a front section, a rear section and a crotch section between the front section and the rear section. The absorbent core has two longitudinally extending side regions being spaced apart in the transversal direction by at least one longitudinally extending channel region. The channel region is of less basis weight than the side regions.

A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core located in a chassis and including absorbent particulate polymer material defining at least one cavity. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free or comprise a combination of particulate absorbent polymer material and wood pulp. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.

A liquid permeable substrate for an absorbent article is disclosed. The substrate includes a first layer including a hydrophobic material and a second layer including a hydrophilic material. The first layer is joined to the second layer. The substrate includes a plurality of recesses, a plurality of projections, and a plurality of land areas. The land areas surround at least a majority of the plurality of projections and a plurality of the recesses. The plurality of recesses, the plurality of projections, and the plurality of land areas together form a first three-dimensional surface on a first side of the substrate and a second three-dimensional surface on a second side of the substrate. The substrate has an overall z-directional height in the range of about 1000 μm to about 6000 μm according to the Overall Substrate Height Test.

The present invention discloses an absorbent article for attachment to the interior of a child potty/bed pan or to be worn on an user. The absorbent article composes an absorbent core, first absorbent channel layer, intermediate channel layer and top permeable layer composes made up of permeable materials and further includes a material capable of converting a liquid substance to a gel-like substance. Specifically, regions of the absorbent core first absorbent channel layer and intermediate channel layer may include a super absorbent polymer (SAP) material such as hydrogel, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylate absorbents, or a biodegradable material such as a powder corn starch or wheat mixture or a combination of super absorbent polymer (SAP) and a biodegradable material.

A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core located in a chassis and including absorbent particulate polymer material defining at least one cavity. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free or comprise a combination of particulate absorbent polymer material and wood pulp. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.
