Absorbent materials configured to sequester trimethylamine (TMA), absorbent articles made therefrom, related methods of use, methods of measuring a reduction of free TMA, and related methods of making absorbent articles are described.

An absorbent organic material includes a non-permeable organic bottom layer. The bottom layer includes an upper and a lower surface. At least one core layer is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom layer. The at least one core layer includes a blend of degummed hemp fiber and a super absorbent polymer. An outermost layer includes a permeable composite of organic cotton and hemp fibers disposed on the at least one core layer.

This application generally relates to absorbent articles comprising aqueous-based odor control compositions and non-complexed perfume compositions, applied in patterns which do not substantially overlap, and methods of making the same.

An absorbent article such as disposable diaper, training pant, and adult incontinence undergarment comprising an absorbent structure comprising superabsorbent polymer particles, the article being able to absorb and contain body exudates and having improved absorption properties and therefore being able to reduce leakage, especially at the first gush, i.e. when the article starts to be wetted.

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.

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.

To provide a user-friendly disposable article including a disposable base fabric provided with at least one of a permeable sheet and a fiber sheet, and multiple elastic members that are joined to at least one of the permeable sheet and the fiber sheet so as to have a joined part and a non-joined part; and a joining part for joining the disposable base fabric and an article to be attached so that the multiple elastic members give an elastic force to a surface to be applied to the skin, arranging the disposable base fabric on the surface side for applying to the skin.

Wound dressings, systems, and methods are presented for treating a wound on a patient's limb, such as a venous leg ulcer. The dressings, systems, and methods involve creating airflow within the dressing to vaporize and remove liquid. The airflow may begin when the dressing becomes saturated. The dressings may be used to provide compression and reduced pressure to the wound. Other systems, methods, and dressings are presented herein.

The male incontinence wrap system is a disposable absorbent pad designed to be wrapped around the male genital member of a person suffering from incontinence. The pad is wrapped around the male genital and secured by a first adhesive strip and then folded back at the end and held in place by a second adhesive strip, an elastic band, or both. An adhesive peel-and-stick strip attaches the absorbent pad assembly around the user to prevent sliding. At least one fold crease can be included extending between first and second edges and aids in the folding and forming of a pouch-shaped interior volume.

A wearable absorbent article, including a main body to be worn around at least a portion of a pelvis of a user, the main body including a pelvic covering portion having a size and a shape to cover an entirety of at least one of a crotch, genitalia, and buttocks of a user, a plurality of leg receiving apertures disposed on at least a portion of the pelvic covering portion to receive legs of the user therethrough, and a waist receiving aperture disposed on at least a portion of the pelvic covering portion to receive a waist of the user therethrough, a fluid absorbing pad disposed on and within at least a portion of the pelvic covering portion to absorb at least one fluid received thereon, and a plurality of absorbent liners disposed on at least a portion of the pelvic covering portion to prevent any leakage of the at least one fluid beyond a boundary of the fluid absorbing pad toward the plurality of leg receiving apertures.
