The present disclosure relates to a disposable absorbent hygiene product including a chassis having first and second end portions and a central portion extending therebetween, a liquid permeable topsheet facing the body of a wearer, a liquid impermeable backsheet facing away from the body of the wearer, a pair of side portions extending on each side of the first end portion in a transversal direction to fasten the absorbent hygiene product to the waist of the wearer, and at least one fastener arranged on at least one of the side portions or the second end portion of the disposable absorbent hygiene product to fasten the absorbent hygiene product to the waist of the wearer.

A disposable article includes a chassis having first and second end portions and a central portion extending therebetween. The article also has a first pair of side panels extending on each side of the first end portion of the chassis. The first and second side panels are folded over the chassis, to form a folded side panel configuration prior to use of the article. The first side panel is arranged at least partly on top of the second side panel to form an overlap area in the folded side panel configuration. The second side panel is bonded to the chassis by a first breakable bond in the folded side panel configuration. The first side panel is attached to the second side panel by a second breakable bond in the overlap area. The first breakable bond has a weaker peel strength than the second breakable bond.

In one embodiment, taped and pant articles of the present disclosure may comprise first and second chassis and first and second belt flaps that are at least substantially identical.

An absorbent article (10) having an inner surface, an outer surface, a first waist region (32), a second waist region (34), a crotch region extending longitudinally between and connecting the first waist region (32) and the second waist region (34). Fastener tab (3) for an absorbent article (10) includes two hook-type strips of material, separated by an expansion area (39). The expansion area (39) has two folds (6, 7), creating a Z-fold type configuration. A strip of non-woven material which, when S-cut, may be used for the fastening tab region of an absorbent article (10).

A method for producing an absorbent article includes: while conveying non-woven fabric to be a top sheet by drawing from the downstream side, forming extruded projections by embossing; placing a material for a second sheet on the back surface of the non-woven fabric with the extruded projections; and joining the non-woven fabric and material for the second sheet in a joint pattern in which top-second joint portions are formed between the MD direction adjacent extruded projections at CD direction central positions corresponding to CD direction central portions of the adjacent extruded projections and at lateral positions on the CD direction both sides of the central positions. A MD direction joint range of the top-second joint portions is wider continuously or stepwise with increasing proximity from the central position to the lateral sides. This allows joining a top sheet having extruded projections and a second sheet while preventing occurrence of MD direction wrinkles in the top sheet.

An absorbent article includes an absorbent body that includes an absorber and a pair of side flaps that extend outward from both ends of the absorbent body in a width direction. The absorbent article has a dorsal side and an abdominal side in a longitudinal direction. The pair of side flaps is disposed on the dorsal side of the absorbent body. Each of the pair of side flaps includes an engaging member. Each of the pair of side flaps is joined to the absorbent article further toward a skin side in the thickness direction than the absorbent body. The engaging member includes a first edge of the abdominal side and a second edge of the dorsal side. In the longitudinal direction, a dorsal side end of the absorber is disposed further toward the dorsal side than a first imaginary line that connects the first edges.

The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.

The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.

An array of personal hygiene articles comprising a least a first article and a second article, the second article having a larger size than the first article. The articles each comprise a back waist gasketing element between a pair of elastic back ears. The back ears each have an innermost edge having a length. The waist gasketing element has a length measured along the longitudinal centerline. The ratio of the length of the innermost edge of the back ears to the length of the waist gasketing element is in the range of from 1.0 to 3.0 for at least the first and second articles. The length of the waist gasketing element of the second article is at least 2 mm longer than the length of the waist gasketing element of the first article.

An absorbent article has a chassis having an outer cover at least in part defining the outer surface of the article, a pair of ears extending transversely outward from opposite sides of the chassis, and a fastening system comprising a primary fastening system and a secondary fastening system. The secondary fastening system includes a secondary second fastening component located on each of the ears and a corresponding secondary first fastening component located on the outer surface of the article at a first waist portion. A E value calculated using the Color Contrast Test between the secondary first fastening components uncovered by the ears and the outer cover being greater than 20.
