Provided is a containment brief to be worn by a user for containing urine and feces. The containment brief includes a strip of stretchable resilient material having a first end and a second end, a first stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, a second stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material being opposite the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a first side dam disposed along the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a second side dam disposed along the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, an absorbent pad disposed on a first surface of the strip of stretchable resilient material, the absorbent pad including a rectangular cut-out therein, and a sling disposed on the absorbent pad at least partially around the rectangular cut-out, wherein each of the first stretchable resilient side panel and the second stretchable resilient side panel includes at least one adhesive tab.

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a fully removable fastening member configured to join a portion of the first waist region to the second waist region. The fastening member includes a first end region comprising a first end, a second end region comprising a second end, a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and in the first end region, and a second fastener on the first surface and in the second end region. The fastening member includes a grasp region either partially laterally outboard of the first fastener or laterally outboard of the first fastener in the first end region. The grasp region has a different physical property than a remainder of the fastening member.

Provided is a reusable outer cover. The reusable outer cover is suitable for use as a cover to an absorbent article. The reusable outer cover according to embodiments disclosed herein can be a single layer. It can be fully compatible with polyethylene recycling streams and can exhibit improved, maintained, or desirable properties in comparison to existing commercially available reusable outer covers. The reusable outer cover is formed from a nonwoven, where the nonwoven comprises a bicomponent fiber comprising a first and second region.

A reusable diaper has an outer liquid resistant layer having a front waist portion, an elongated back waist portion and a crotch portion therebetween, an inner layer attached to the outer layer, and a plurality of first fasteners arranged along the front waist portion of the outer liquid resistant layer. The front waist portion is divided into a plurality of visually different sections each having at least one of the first fasteners thereon. Each section sandwiching a central section of the front waist portion can have a different color or surface pattern than that of the central section. Each section sandwiching that section and the central section therebetween has a still further different color or surface pattern. Each section corresponds to a predetermined diaper fitting size when one or more complementary second fasteners on ends of the elongated back waist portion engages a corresponding ones of the front waist portion first fasteners.

A diaper band for ensuring that a toddler cannot remove a diaper secured thereby. The diaper band has central inner-facing hook fabric that can be attached to the fabric on the front of a typical diaper (disposable or reusable). The diaper band also has ends bearing hook and loop material that are securable to the back of the diaper behind the back of the toddler, to ensure that the toddler cannot detach the diaper band. The diaper band securely covers the attachment tabs of the diaper, so that the toddler cannot undo the diaper tabs. The central inward-facing hook fabric can be one or more material patches that are big enough to grab onto the front fabric of the diaper, the same front fabric for attaching the diaper tabs. Alternatively, the central inward-facing hook material region can extend along the entire length of the diaper band.

A diaper system comprises an outer envelope, an absorbent element and a pouch having an opening for partially inserting the absorbent element and means for fastening onto the outer envelope. The pouch forms, before use, a flat sheath, and comprises a superposition of two sheets of a flexible and leaktight material. At least one of the surfaces of the two sheet is heat-activatable. One of the sheets has a cutout corresponding to the opening, and the two sheets are assembled by two transverse lines and two longitudinal lines in the peripheral edge strip of the sheets.

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a fully removable fastening member configured to join a portion of the first waist region to the second waist region. The fastening member includes a first end region comprising a first end, a second end region comprising a second end, a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and in the first end region, and a second fastener on the first surface and in the second end region. The fastening member includes a grasp region either partially laterally outboard of the first fastener or laterally outboard of the first fastener in the first end region. The grasp region has a different physical property than a remainder of the fastening member.

The novel dual-layer garment includes an outer layer made from a fluid-repellant or leak-proof fabric and an inner absorbent layer assembled therewith. The inner layer is made to slow down fluid absorption as compared to regular baby diapers in order to keep the child feeling wet for an extended, yet limited period of time. The adult version of the garment may feature several tight bands along the full length of the garment so as to compartmentalize several sections thereof and limit fluid runoff to avoid an outside leakage of fluids.

Provided is a containment brief to be worn by a user for containing urine and feces. The containment brief includes a strip of stretchable resilient material having a first end and a second end, a first stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, a second stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material being opposite the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a first side dam disposed along the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a second side dam disposed along the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, an absorbent pad disposed on a first surface of the strip of stretchable resilient material, the absorbent pad including a rectangular cut-out therein, and a sling disposed on the absorbent pad at least partially around the rectangular cut-out, wherein each of the first stretchable resilient side panel and the second stretchable resilient side panel includes at least one adhesive tab.

A launderable absorbent article, including a chassis having a front portion, a rear portion, a crotch portion extending longitudinally between the front portion and the rear portion wherein at least a portion of the chassis may receive removably attachable disposable liners to absorb body discharges. The launderable absorbent article is presented in an underwear style to the user.
