An article with an absorbent core having a first absorbent layer and a second absorbent layer is presented. The first absorbent layer has a first substrate and the second absorbent layer has a second substrate. The core includes superabsorbent polymer material deposited on the first and second substrates. A fiberized net structure covers the absorbent polymer material on the first and second substrates. The fiberized net structure includes a substantially tackifier-free adhesive.

Provided is an absorbent article in which the shape of projections formed in a predetermined region of a topsheet can be maintained. In this absorbent article: a nonwoven fabric that has a skin-side surface having projections formed thereon is used as a topsheet; and an absorbent body has formed therein a through hole that penetrates the absorbent body in the thickness direction.

An absorbent product includes a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core enclosed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes an absorbent fibrous layer and a liquid inlet foam layer and the absorbent core includes a transversally central liquid inlet region extending in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent core. Within the liquid inlet region, the liquid inlet foam layer is covered by a plurality of inlet openings and has a transversal width, which is equal to, or up to 9 mm smaller than, the minimum transversal width of the absorbent fibrous layer. The liquid inlet foam layer also has side edge regions arranged in front and rear portions of the absorbent core transversally outside of the liquid inlet region, and within which the liquid inlet foam layer is free from liquid inlet openings.

The present invention relates to an absorbent structure and an absorbent article containing said absorbent structure. The absorbent structure, having a sequence of layers connected together, comprises a first outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, a second outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, and a fluid storage layer made from airlaid material arranged between the first and second outer absorbent layers, wherein the airlaid material of the first outer absorbent layer comprises first cellulose fibres, the airlaid material of the second outer absorbent layer comprises second cellulose fibres and the airlaid material of the fluid storage layer comprises third cellulose fibres and super-absorbent components, wherein the first and second cellulose fibres have a lower pH value than the third cellulose fibres and the pH value of the first and second cellulose fibres is less than 5.0.

An absorbent article according to the present invention may comprise an absorbent pad 12, which includes: a wood pulp web 12b and a cotton-based nonwoven fabric 12a laminated on the wood pulp web 12b, wherein the nonwoven fabric 12a includes a valley part continuously formed on a surface thereof in a length direction and arranged at a predetermined interval in a width direction thereof. The absorbent article manufactured according to the present invention includes the absorbent pad layer 12 consisting of the cotton-based nonwoven fabric 12a, wherein the nonwoven fabric 12a includes the valley part continuously formed in the length direction and arranged at a predetermined interval in the width direction on the surface of the nonwoven fabric 12a in order to form channels C in the length direction of the absorbent pad 12, thereby effectively preventing leakage of the menstrual fluid or urine. Further, the absorbent article according to the present invention includes the wood pulp web 12b as well as the cotton-based nonwoven fabric 12a in the absorbent pad 12, thus to rapidly absorb the menstrual fluid or urine and safely keep the same therein.

The present invention is a liquid absorbent sandwich web as can be used in absorbent products such as in disposable absorbent articles such as diapers, feminine hygiene articles or incontinence devices, and to the manufacturing of such webs. The liquid absorbent sandwich web provides high absorbent capacity without compromising softness.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent garments having a dryness layer that can comprise one or more laminates and one or more channels to facilitate liquid acquisition and retention. Laminate(s) can include an absorbent lamina disposed between substrate laminae, each comprising tissue and/or a nonwoven. Some dryness layers can have a folded laminate that defines a longitudinally-extending channel. Some dryness layers can have two or more laminate strips that are laterally spaced apart along a width of the dryness layer such that one or more longitudinally-extending channels are defined therebetween.

Disclosed is a feminine hygiene pad with an absorbent system including: an absorbent foam layer having a wearer-facing surface and an outward-facing surface, having a plurality of apertures providing z-direction passageways from the wearer-facing surface to the outward-facing surface; and a porous spacer layer beneath the foam layer and underlying a majority of openings of the apertures in an outward-facing surface of the foam layer. The spacer layer functions to provide structure, beneath the absorbent foam layer, that holds open a desired amount of unoccupied space between the absorbent layer and a backsheet of the pad, into which unabsorbed menstrual fluid may flow and temporarily reside, during the time required for the absorbent layer to effectively imbibe the fluid.

To make it possible to manufacture an absorber having a reinforcing layer sandwiched between a plurality of accumulation layers with simple and compact equipment An accumulation material in an absorber mold at a first accumulation position and a second accumulation position disposed in this order on an outer peripheral surface of a fiber accumulating drum at intervals in a rotational direction of the fiber accumulating drum, and supplying a belt-shaped reinforcing layer formed of a nonwoven fabric or the like, passing over the absorber mold on the outer peripheral surface of the fiber accumulating drum and continuous in the rotational direction of the fiber accumulating drum between the first and the second accumulation positions to form, in the absorber mold, an absorber including a first accumulation layer accumulated at the first accumulation position, a second accumulation layer accumulated at the second accumulation position, and the reinforcing layer sandwiched therebetween.

Improved absorbent core components including multiple layers configured to enhance fluid handling properties. The layers include absorbent material layers, with or without absorbent material-free lanes. The layers also include nonwoven layers, including air-through nonwovens, bulkified nonwovens, slitted nonwovens, and bulky nonwovens.
