An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap sheet and a back core wrap sheet, said absorbent core being positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge, said absorbent core having a first portion (130a), (130b) and a second portion (130b), (130a) on either side of a transverse crotch line (L), wherein the absorbent core is provided with a plurality of attachment zones where the top core wrap sheet is attached to the back core wrap sheet, wherein, measured in a transverse direction, a first maximum distance between a first and a second attachment zone is bigger than a second maximum distance between a third and a fourth attachment zone.

A substantially planar absorbent core (28) extending in a transversal direction (x) and a longitudinal direction (y), and comprising a core wrap (16, 16) enclosing an absorbent material (60) substantially free of cellulose fibers, the absorbent material forming a pattern of discrete absorbent material areas. The pattern comprises transversally-orientated areas (752) and longitudinally-orientated areas (754). The absorbent core may further comprise at least two longitudinally-orientated channel-forming areas (26).

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.

A feminine care absorbent article comprising an absorbent member positioned between a topsheet and a baffle is provided. The absorbent member contains at least one layer that comprises superabsorbent particles containing nanopores having an average cross-sectional dimension of from about 10 to about 500 nanometers.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent member positioned between a topsheet and a backsheet is provided. The absorbent member contains at least one layer that comprises porous superabsorbent particles, wherein the particles exhibit a relative humidity microclimate of about 67% or less after being exposed to an atmosphere having a temperature of about 23? C. and relative humidity of 80% for a time period of 20 minutes.

An absorbent article including an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet and a liquid-impermeable backsheet, and comprises a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion located between the front portion and the back portion. The absorbent component includes a coherent area in only the front portion and the crotch portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent component includes oblong high basis weight areas of absorbent material alternating with oblong low basis weight areas of absorbent material. The high basis weight areas of absorbent material and the low basis weight areas of absorbent material not extending into the back portion of the absorbent article. The core comprises a conformance zone with absorbent material in the back portion of the absorbent article having 5-50% of the total average basis weight of the absorbent material in the absorbent component in the front portion of the absorbent article.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having a longitudinally extending channel-forming area and a wetness indicator. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid a channel is formed along the area substantially free of absorbent material.

A substantially planar absorbent core (28) extending in a transversal direction (x) and a longitudinal direction (y), and comprising a core wrap (16, 16) enclosing an absorbent material (60) substantially free of cellulose fibers, the absorbent material forming a pattern of discrete absorbent material areas. The pattern comprises transversally-orientated areas (752) and longitudinally-orientated areas (754). The absorbent core may further comprise at least two longitudinally-orientated channel-forming areas (26).

The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles that include a bodyside liner, an outer cover and an absorbent core between the bodyside liner and the outer cover. The articles also include a core wrap surrounding the absorbent core. Further, the articles include a shaped form between the core wrap and the absorbent core where the shaped form is a functional structure. The functional structure includes a substrate and a first fixing agent applied to the substrate. The first fixing agent includes an aqueous polymer. The functional structure also includes a functional material that is adjacent to the first fixing agent. A second fixing agent is adjacent to the functional material. The first fixing agent may be a hydrophilic solution including an aqueous polymer selected from polyvinyl alcohol and a cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol. The aqueous polymers may have molecular weights from 1,500,000 to 4,000,000.

To enable producing without the need for an extension step of an outer body while being excellent in a fit of the edges around the legs. The above problem is solved by an underpants-type disposable diaper wherein an inner body is joined to a crotch side edge portion of a central portion in a width direction of a dorsal side outer body to form an inner body joined section, a front-back length of a side closer to a waist side than the inner body joined section is extensible to a crotch side, and the side closer to the waist side than the inner body joined section in the inner body can be moved to the crotch side, relative to a dorsal side outer body.
