The absorbent core (24) is formed of a sheet-like article (1) including a plurality of absorbent units (4), each including a long base portion (2) and water-absorbent polymer particles (3). The sheet-like article (1) includes a plurality of unit portions arranged in the longitudinal direction (x1 direction), each unit portion including a plurality of the absorbent units (4) arranged side by side in the lateral direction (y1 direction). The sheet-like article (1) includes a pair of longitudinal joined regions (41, 41), a pair of lateral joined regions (42, 42), and intermediate lateral joined regions (43, 43). The sheet-like article (1) is joined to a constituent member adjacent thereto in the thickness direction (Z) at the pair of longitudinal joined regions (41, 41), the pair of lateral joined regions (42, 42), and the intermediate lateral joined regions (43, 43). Each unit portion includes a section in which neither the upper side nor the lower side thereof in the thickness direction (Z) is joined to the constituent member.

The absorbent pad has a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. Each layer of the pad has a liquid impervious back sheet. The backsheet or outer layer, which faces away from the wearer when the absorbent article is secured to the wearer, is composed of a moisture-impervious, flexible material. Further, each layer has a moisture pervious inner layer and an absorbent core positioned in between the inner layer and back sheet. The layers are coupled to each other via an adhesive. They can be removed by grasping a tab placed on each layer and pulling the layer away from the unsoiled layers.

An absorbent article that improves contact efficiency between a deodorant substance and an odor. The problem is solved by an absorbent article including an absorber and a liquid impervious resin film covering an outside of the absorber, in which a cellulose nanofiber layer is attached directly to a member outside the liquid impervious resin film, and the cellulose nanofiber layer can come into contact with an odor in an atmosphere outside the absorbent article.

Absorbent articles comprising a multilayer outer cover comprising a first outer layer and a second outer layer comprising a component that exhibits at least partial elastic recovery after mechanical activation in the machine direction; an inner layer, disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the inner layer comprising elastic strands; and wherein at least one of the first outer layer and second outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.

An absorbent core comprising substantially continuous zones of one or more high fluid distribution structures and discontinuous zones of fluid absorption structures surrounding the one or more high fluid distribution structures, wherein the one or more high fluid distribution structures are arranged to distribute fluid across the absorbent core at a speed that is faster than the speed of fluid distribution across the absorbent core by said discontinuous fluid absorption structures, and wherein said continuous zones extend along a path that is substantially parallel to at least a portion of the perimeter of the core, said portion of the perimeter of the core comprising at least a portion of the sides of the core and one of the ends of the core.

Described herein is an absorbent article. The absorbent article includes an assembly of components and an adhesive composition joining at least two of the assembly of components together. The adhesive composition includes from about 70 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of one or more copolymers and from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of one or more heterophase copolymers. The one or more copolymers include from about 30 mole % to about 70 mole % of monomer units selected from ethylene, 1-butene, and mixtures thereof. The one or more copolymers also include from about 30 mole % to about 70 mole % of propene monomer units. The adhesive composition is free of polyisobutylene and has a viscosity of from about 2,000 mPa.Math.s to about 11,500 mPa.Math.s at 150 C.

Described herein is an absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline, a front waist region with a front waist edge, a rear waist region with a rear waist edge, a crotch region disposed between the front waist region and the rear waist region, and two spaced apart longitudinal side edges joining the front waist edge to the rear waist edge, wherein the absorbent article comprises an assembly of components, and wherein the absorbent article comprises an adhesive composition. The adhesive composition comprises a copolymer; the adhesive composition has a viscosity of from about 2,000 mPa.Math.s to about 11,500 mPa.Math.s at 150 C., the adhesive composition has a Storage Modulus at 37 C. of from about 3 MPa to 9.5 MPa, and the adhesive composition has a Yield Stress at 37 C. of from about 0.8 MPa to about 1.45 MPa.

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 for improved isolation of fecal matter or other body exudates. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.

An absorbent pad includes a batt of cellulose fibers, superabsorbent particles intermixed within the batt of cellulose fibers, and an odor control material intermixed within the batt of cellulose fibers, wherein the odor control material is a particulate material including one or more fatty acid. The odor control material preferably further includes selected inorganic compounds, such as sources of nitrogen, phosphorus and iron. Various embodiments incorporate the absorbent pad in a diaper or other disposable hygiene product.

A disposable absorbent underwear product includes a garment layer, an absorbent insert, a non-woven patch, and a barrier. The absorbent insert has a fluid-impermeable base layer, an absorbent core, and a fluid-permeable top layer. The non-woven patch covers an end of the absorbent insert. A first portion of the non-woven patch is adhered to both the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent insert and the garment layer with an adhesive. A second portion of the non-woven patch is free and forms a pouch. An end portion of the absorbent core is disposed adjacent to the second portion of the non-woven patch. The barrier extends along a width of the absorbent insert. The barrier extends through the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent core and connects the fluid-impermeable base layer and the one non-woven patch to direct fluid flow to the absorbent core and militate against fluid overflow.
