A disposable absorbent article may include a first waist region, a second waist region, a crotch region disposed between the first and the second waist regions, and a chassis having a topsheet, backsheet, absorbent core, and chassis periphery. The chassis periphery has a varying width, W.sub.v.

A trunks-type disposable diaper is configured to prevent shrinkage in the width direction of an inner thigh contact portion and to prevent the wearing feeling and occurrence of a gap. A crossing position of a front around-leg elastic member and a back around-leg elastic member positioned closest to an edge of a leg opening is positioned at the same position in a width direction as a side edge of the narrowest portion of a narrower portion of an absorber or on the center side in the width direction, and a crotch portion does not have elastic members other than the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member.

The present invention relates to a diaper set including: a diaper cover; a flap separation type diaper disposed on top of the diaper cover and having a feces bag; and a ‘’-shaped excreta inducing seat disposed on the rear end of the feces bag of the flap separation type diaper, wherein the diaper cover is separated into a waist belt part and a diaper base part, the flap separation type diaper includes a seat accommodation bag disposed on the rear end of the feces bag, and the ‘’-shaped excreta inducing seat has an inclined surface slant upward and backward from the rear end of the underside thereof.

Disposable absorbent articles assembled from a collection of components using an adhesive having an amorphous polyolefin composition with a random butane-α-olefin copolymer and a heterophase polyolefin copolymer composition with a first set of comonomer units and a second set of comonomer units, wherein the first set of comonomer units are propene.

Configurable absorbent articles are provided. The absorbent articles may comprise a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent articles may comprise a first waist region, a second waist region, a crotch region extending intermediate the first waist region and the second waist region, and an outer cover material joined to the backsheet and forming a portion of a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article. The absorbent articles may comprise leg cuffs and one or more fully removable fastening members. The fastening member may comprise a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and positioned proximate to a first end and a second fastener on the first surface and positioned proximate to a second end.

Disclosed is a pant type absorbent article comprising a core chassis and a leg gasketing system comprising a pair of wearer facing cuff regions comprising an inner cuff sealing and inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge; a pair of garment facing cuff regions, and a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on wearer facing cuff regions or garment facing cuff regions, each outer cuff elastic element disposed so as to superpose the core side regions and so as to superpose the inner cuff sealings or outward thereof; and wherein the front belt and the absorbent body is joined in a manner such that the front longitudinal end of the outer cuff elastic element in active elasticity superposes the front belt and left unjoined to the front belt.

In a trunks-type disposable diaper in which a front around-leg elastic member and a back around-leg elastic member are attached on both sides in a width direction of an intermediate region in a region between an edge of one leg opening and an edge of the other leg opening in a pattern in which at least one front around-leg elastic member and at least one back around-leg elastic member cross each other, the above-described problem is solved by providing an inner member bonded portion that is a region bonding an outer member and an inner member only further to the center side in the width direction than a crossing position between the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction in the intermediate region.

A diaper outer cover includes a front lateral end (13) and a rear lateral end (19); a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge; and an adjustment system (400). The adjustment system has an adjustment strip (40) disposed in a leg gasketing system (52) or in a waist feature (50); and multiple engagement points (406). The adjustment system is selected from the group consisting of buckle mechanisms (420), snap mechanisms, lock and key mechanisms (426, 428), tying mechanisms (424), hook and loop mechanisms (405, 407), male and female mechanisms (412, 414) and combinations thereof.

An outer cover includes a first lateral end, a second lateral end, and a length Lc extending in a longitudinal direction between the first and second lateral ends; and a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge. The outer cover also includes an opening. The opening has a maximum longitudinal length, Lo, that is at least 50% of the length of the outer cover, Lc; and the opening is adapted to receive an absorbent insert.

An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article includes a core and a chassis. One or more discrete bonding zones bond the core to the chassis, and one or more unbonded zones of the core are not bonded to the chassis, forming a floating core. The core is not elastically coupled with the chassis. A method of making the absorbent article may include selectively bonding the chassis to the core at discrete bonding zones.
