The disclosure relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising an absorbent core which has first and second areas. The second area is located centrally in the middle portion of the article and extends longitudinally along a centre axis, transversally and symmetrically in a transverse direction towards each side edge of the core and in a thickness direction of the article. The second area protrudes outwards from a plane of the first area, and covers from 5-15% of a total area of the core. The first area surrounds the second area and covers the remainder of the total area of the core. The second area has grammage higher than grammage of the first area. The second area is integrated with the first area, and the second area is surrounded by a discontinuous embossing pattern which conforms to the shape of the second area of the core.

Provided is a flexible sanitary pad to solve the problems of leakage of menstrual blood of the conventional sanitary pad. The sanitary pad of the present invention includes an absorbent pad and a fluid guide. The fluid guide has a suspended portion positioned between a front fixed portion and a back fixed portion. The fluid guide also has and a tilted tail portion. The front fixed portion and the back fixed portion connect to the absorbent pad. The tilted tail portion is positioned at a back end of the back fixed portion. A head end of the tilted tail portion is more adjacent to the absorbent pad than a tail end of the tilted tail portion. The tail end of the tilted tail portion is suspended without touching the absorbent pad.

An absorbent article includes two planar liquid permeable topsheet layers with a first topsheet layer suspended from the longitudinal ends of the second topsheet layer. The first topsheet layer is of shorter length than the second topsheet layer such that the relaxed absorbent article includes a curvature along its length. The first topsheet layer defines a central opening and two end openings which allow for air circulation through the article and also for the second topsheet layer to be seen through the openings in the first topsheet layer. While the first topsheet layer is at least extensible, it is desirably elastic.

A sanitary pad. The sanitary pad includes an elongated pad having an upper surface and a lower surface. An upraised member having a first lateral side and a second lateral side is disposed on the upper surface. A plurality of channels are disposed along the first lateral side and the second lateral side.

An array of absorbent articles each having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core is described. A first absorbent article has a first physical feature disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core, and a second absorbent article has a second physical feature disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The first physical feature has a first length between 27 and 77 percent of a first absorbent core length. The second physical feature has a second length between 27 and 77 percent of a second absorbent core length. The first length is less than the second length, and the first physical feature comprises a convex portion oriented toward a first end of the first absorbent article and/or the second physical feature comprises a convex portion oriented toward a first end of the second absorbent article.

An absorbent article can have a chassis which can have a backsheet layer, a topsheet layer, and an absorbent system positioned between the backsheet layer and the topsheet layer. The absorbent system can have at least one absorbent layer which is a lobed absorbent layer. At least one flexure feature can associate with the lobed absorbent layer. A pair of non-integral wings can be bonded to the backsheet layer of the chassis.

An array of absorbent articles each having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core; the absorbent article having a physical feature to at least partially fill a wearer's panty-body void; for a wearer having a BMI greater than about 25.

An absorbent article includes an absorber disposed between a permeable upper-side sheet and an impermeable back-side sheet; a surface embossment that is provided at least on each side of an area corresponding to a body fluid discharge part, extends in a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, and is formed by indenting the permeable upper-side sheet and the absorber together; and an absorber embossment that is disposed away from the surface embossment and closer to a center in a width direction than the surface embossment, extends along the surface embossment, and is formed by indenting the absorber such that a space is formed between the permeable upper-side sheet and the absorber.

An absorbent article includes a base-structure and an elevatable structure known as a flat-back protection feature, that is capable of rising above the base-structure during article use. The flat-back protection feature utilizes either differences in material length compared with the length of the adjacent base-structure, or elastic materials, to maintain the feature elevation above the base-structure, while the article is in an extended condition. The flat-back protection feature extends into the intergluteal cleft of a wearer during use. Embossment features on the absorbent article are used to facilitate folding of the absorbent article, enhance the functionality of the protection feature, and/or improve the ease of manufacture.

The disclosure relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising an absorbent core which has first and second areas. The second area is located centrally in the middle portion of the article and extends longitudinally along a centre axis, transversally and symmetrically in a transverse direction towards each side edge of the core and in a thickness direction of the article. The second area protrudes outwards from a plane of the first area, and covers from 5-15% of a total area of the core. The first area surrounds the second area and covers the remainder of the total area of the core. The second area has grammage higher than grammage of the first area. The second area is integrated with the first area, and the second area is surrounded by a discontinuous embossing pattern which conforms to the shape of the second area of the core.
