An absorbent pad for use in a garment is disclosed. The absorbent pad includes a liquid impermeable barrier layer and a functional layer disposed adjacent to the barrier layer, the functional layer having a liquid absorbent component. The absorbent pad also includes a first attaching element coupled to a periphery of the functional layer and a periphery of the barrier layer; and a second attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion coupled to the first attaching element. The second portion of the second attaching element is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment. The absorbent pad is washable and reusable.

An incontinence pant including a main body having a front portion, a back portion, a crotch portion, a waist opening, and two leg openings. An elasticized waist cuff is formed at the waist opening and an elasticized leg cuff is formed at each of the two leg openings. Suspended mesh lining is disposed within the main body and is attached at each of the elasticized waist cuff and the two elasticized leg cuffs. The elasticized cuffs each have a pocket depth of at least 1 inch to form an absorbent area receiving a portion of an absorbent pad to capture leaked fluid.

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.

A garment for absorbance and leak retention of bodily fluids discharged from a body of a wearer. The garment has a main body and a protection panel lining an inner surface of the main body. The protection panel comprises a lower layer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), an upper layer of a fluid permeable material, and an absorbent layer sandwiched between the lower layer of TPU and the upper layer of fluid impermeable material. The lower layer of TPU is adjacent and fixed to the primary material of the main body. The protection panel is sized and configured to prevent leakage of bodily fluid from the garment when worn by a wearer.

An absorbent undergarment with a tunable absorbent portion. The tunable portion being tunable to absorb and/or capture both fluid materials as well as more viscous, solid, and/or semi-solid materials. Thus, the undergarment affords the user improved wearability as well as comfort and avoids unwanted odors from exposed material.

A reusable nappy configured in the form of side-openable pants with reusable fasteners is characterized in that the front part of the nappy is additionally provided with a waistband tightening arrangement disposed on the waistband of said front part in a space lying between fastening elements (see FIG. 6). The tightening arrangement can be configured in the form of two drawstrings disposed in channels on the waistband, which can be tightened and fastened in a knot, or in the form of other embodiments. The nappy can be provided with a front-detachable absorbent pad having a detachable barrier fabric, or with similar liners. Absorbent elements can be configured with a side-opening inward fold, resembling a side cap in appearance. A liner can be provided with a fold-over rear portion, inter alia, in the form of turndown collar. The aim of the invention is to provide an arrangement having fastenings which allows flexible adjustment of the size of the waistband and can be manipulated safely during fastening. The nappy is intended to have a training effect by virtue of slight wetness, but should not leak or allow excessive wetness. The arrangement is intended to allow easier and improved cleaning and to provide greater comfort for wearers and greater convenience for carers. The invention relates to reusable nappies and to clothing items for wearers susceptible to incontinence. Proposed are novel embodiments of a nappy and liners.

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.

A garment having a fabric body and an absorbent pad attached to the fabric body is disclosed. The absorbent pad includes a liquid impermeable barrier layer and a functional layer attached to the barrier layer. The functional layer has a wicking component and a liquid absorbent component. The liquid absorbent component is disposed between the wicking component and the barrier layer. The absorbent pad is washable and reusable.

A garment comprises a main body including a front portion, a back portion, and a gusset connecting the front portion and the back portion. The gusset has left and right lateral edges partially defining respective left and right leg openings of the garment. A layer of absorbent material is coupled to an inner face of the main body at least at the gusset. A layer of waterproof material is sandwiched between the main body and the layer of absorbent material. Left and right elastic bands couple the layer of absorbent material and the layer of waterproof material to the main body along the respective left and right lateral edges of the gusset. A method for manufacturing the absorbent garment is also provided.

An absorbent article includes an absorbent core, a top sheet provided on a skin-side of a thickness direction of the absorbent core, and a second sheet arranged between the absorbent core and the top sheet in the thickness direction and to be placed in a wearer's inseam. The top sheet has a plurality of protrusions formed along a longitudinal direction and spaced apart in a horizontal direction. The second sheet is smaller than the top sheet in the horizontal direction. The top sheet has an overlapping region overlapping with the second sheet in the thickness direction and both end regions separated by a predetermined distance outward from the overlapping region in the horizontal direction and provided to overlap with the overlapping region in the longitudinal direction. A horizontal pitch of the protrusions in the overlapping region is larger than a horizontal pitch of the protrusions in the two end regions.
