An absorbent article has a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent assembly positioned between the back sheet and the top sheet. The absorbent article includes a fluid intake layer positioned between the absorbent assembly and the top sheet. The fluid intake layer has a rearward-facing arch located in a back portion of the fluid intake layer. The fluid intake layer has an opening. The absorbent article includes a first lateral stiffener and a second lateral stiffener extending along a majority of the longitudinal side edges of the fluid intake layer. The absorbent article includes a first flexure, a second flexure, and a third flexure in a rear portion of the absorbent article.

An absorbent sanitary article includes a central body, first and second side panels extending laterally outwardly of the central body, and at least one extension band having a distal edge to which at least one closing element is fixed.

An absorbent article including a front waist portion, a back waist portion, and a crotch portion. An end portion of the back waist portion on an other side in the lateral direction is joined by a second joining portion to a fastening member, and the fastening member has a fastening portion being capable of being fastened to the front waist portion when putting on the absorbent article. While the front waist portion and the back waist portion are being stretched in the lateral direction, the lateral distance of the front waist portion from the lateral center of the absorbent main body to a lateral end of the front waist portion on the other side is smaller than the lateral distance of the back waist portion from the lateral center of absorbent main body to a lateral end of the back waist portion on the other side.

An absorbent article comprises a front waist region, a back waist region, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core may comprise an absorbent material. The absorbent article may comprise a pair of back ears in the back waist region and a pair of front ears in the front waist region. The front ears may comprise a pattern. The pattern may comprise three-dimensional features and/or visually distinguishable zones.

Provided is an ultrasmall-sized fixing tape suitable for a disposal tape for an absorbent article, such as a disposable diaper, a sanitary napkin, or an incontinence pad. The ultrasmall fixing tape of the present invention includes: an extending portion; and a non-extending portion that is substantially free from extending, in which: the non-extending portion includes securing means in at least part thereof; the ultrasmall fixing tape has a base material layer B; the base material layer B has a thickness of 50 μm or more; and the base material layer B has an upper yield strength in a longitudinal direction thereof at a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 50% of from 5 N/25 mm to 15 N/25 mm.

An absorbent article includes a chassis having i) a topsheet, ii) a backsheet comprising a film layer and an outer cover layer, and iii) an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a fastening system, the fastening system having a male fastener and a female fastening material, wherein the female fastening material is comprised of a portion of the outer cover layer that is located in a landing zone area; wherein the film layer and the outer cover layer are joined together through a backsheet adhesive applied in a first pattern; and in the landing zone area, the film layer and the outer cover layer are joined together through an additional LZA adhesive applied in a second pattern.

An absorbent pad includes a body, having a first edge, and a first tab projecting from the first edge wherein the first tab and the first edge outline a first aperture.

A sanitary pad system includes a first pad and a second pad. The first pad has a first set of fastening tabs and the second pad has a second set of fastening tabs. The two sets of fastening tabs are offset so that, when the two pads are stacked in overlapping relationship on an undergarment, both pads are directly attached to the undergarment with the associated fastening tabs.
