A method for evaluating the bunched compression of an absorbent structure is described. The method includes placing an absorbent structure in a tensile tester comprising a first end and a second end, moving the first end and the second end of the tensile tester toward each other such that they compress the absorbent structure along its width, lowering a loading probe that compresses the absorbent structure perpendicular to the absorbent structure, and raising the loading probe and decompressing the absorbent structure perpendicular to the absorbent structure. The loading probe acquires data.

An absorption body intended to form part of an absorbent disposable article includes a first absorption layer intended to face towards the user upon use and a second absorption layer intended to face away from the user upon use. The first absorption layer has a longitudinal opening in the crotch area and the second absorption layer has a longitudinal compression arranged in the crotch area.

An elastic absorbent assembly is presented for use in manufacturing disposable absorbent garments. The elastic assembly includes an absorbent core comprising: a base layer having a pair of side edges and a longitudinal centerline spaced inwardly from the side edges; an elastic construction supported by the base layer, the elastic construction including a plurality of spaced apart elastic elements forming a plurality of channels and a plurality of cells; and superabsorbent polymer particles coupled to the elastic elements.

A reusable textile material for managing a bodily fluids and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the textile material includes a first layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, a second layer in contact with the outer surface of the first layer, and a third layer opposite the second layer from the first layer. In some embodiments, the first layer is configured to draw the bodily fluid through the first layer from the inner surface to the outer surface while dispersing the bodily fluid laterally across the first layer. In some embodiments, the second layer is configured to pull the bodily fluid away from the outer surface and hold the bodily fluid in the second layer. In some embodiments, the third layer is configured to confine the bodily fluid from in the second layer.

An absorbent core having a length in a longitudinal direction and a width in a transverse direction, including upper and lower core cover layers and absorbent material sandwiched therebetween, and a pair of channels extending in the longitudinal direction in the absorbent material, each of the channels being free or substantially free from absorbent material and having a channel seal extending therein and joining the core cover layers. For at least one transversal segment of the absorbent core including the channel seals, one core cover layer has a first width between the channel seals, and the other core cover layer has a second width between the channel seals, wherein the first and second widths of the core cover layers are the widths of the core cover layers between the channel seals in an unfolded, flat-out state and wherein the first width is no less than 120% of the second width.

An absorbent core for use in an absorbent article including a high loft central layer having deposited on two different surfaces thereon a first superabsorbent polymer SAP1 and a second superabsorbent polymer SAP2 in the form of particles that are at least partially distributed within the high loft layer. The SAP1 has a higher capacity than SAP2 and the permeability of SAP2 is more than 510-7 cm3.Math.s/g.

A machine and a method for manufacturing sanitary product with an hourglass shaped absorbent core, such as a panty liner or a light-inco diaper. The machine and the method allow shaping of the core into an hourglass shape with minimized scrap.

An anti-stain absorption pad for underpants and an underpants including the same are provided. The absorption pad includes a waterproof layer, at least one absorption layer and two fixing structures; wherein the waterproof layer includes a main body and two inverse-folded parts respectively provided at two opposite sides of the main body; the at least one absorption layer is disposed on the main body, and the at least one absorption layer is used for absorbing a liquid; and the two fixing structures are respectively disposed at the two inverse-folded parts, and fix the two inverse-folded parts on the at least one absorption layer. Therefore, in the present invention, since the fixing structures are covered by the waterproof layer due to the structure of the inverse-folded parts, backflow and secondary leakage of menstrual blood can be avoided, thereby achieving a complete leakproof effect.

Disclosed is an absorbent article including an absorbent member arranged between a topsheet and backsheet, the absorbent member having front edge and a rear edge, the absorbent member including a first layer having a first layer front edge and a first layer rear edge and a second layer, the first being shorter than the second layer, wherein the first and second layers include superabsorbent polymer particles, wherein the absorbent member is provided with at least two channels extending in a longitudinal direction and on a respective side of a longitudinal centerline of the absorbent article, the first layer including a higher amount of superabsorbent polymer particles than the second layer, the absorbent member having a total absorbent capacity of 1100 ml or more, wherein a ratio between the front edge distance and the rear edge distance is 1.5 or greater.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core and a cushion layer between the absorbent core and the backsheet. The cushion layer comprises at least two sub-layers. The sub-layers advantageously have different widths or are bonded to each other by one or more longitudinally-extending attachment areas.
