The article further includes a first longitudinal edge, a second longitudinal edge, and a chassis having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. A waist gasketing element is joined to the chassis and disposed in one of the first waist region or the second waist region. The waist gasketing element has a top layer and a bottom layer, an inboard lateral edge and an outboard lateral edge, and first area, A1. The top layer is bonded to the bottom layer in a closure bond region by a closure bonding technique. The closure bond region has an aggregate closure bond area, BA, which is at least about 10% of the first area, A1.

An absorbent article can include a chassis including an absorbent body. The chassis can include a body facing surface. The absorbent article can also include a waist containment member. The waist containment member can include a proximal portion coupled to the body facing surface of the chassis and a distal portion that includes a distal edge. The proximal portion includes proximal portion elastic members and the distal portion can include distal portion elastic members. The distal portion can be free to move with respect to the chassis when the absorbent article is in a relaxed configuration.

An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core positioned intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet, each layer having a skin-facing side, the absorbent article being arranged along a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis, and the absorbent article defining a front portion having a front edge, a back portion having a back edge and a crotch portion intermediate the front portion and the back portion, wherein the back portion of the absorbent article further includes a transversally extending capture layer, wherein the capture layer includes an outboard transversal edge facing the back edge and two longitudinal edges being sealed to any part of the absorbent article, wherein the capture layer further includes an inboard transversal edge facing the front edge, the inboard transversal edge being unsealed for gathering of feces, wherein the capture layer is positioned to at least partially cover the skin-facing side of the topsheet, wherein the absorbent core includes at least one thickness, wherein at least the back portion of the absorbent article further includes at least one centrally oriented zone in the absorbent core, the zone being at least partially recessed, resulting in the zone having a generally lower thickness in relation to the thickness of surrounding parts of the absorbent core.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles with waist panels configured with physical properties for mitigating assembly complications. In some configurations, a waist panel comprises a longitudinal bending stiffness with peak load of at least about 0.19 N; a machine direction web modulus at 2% of at least about 72 N/%; a tensile load at peak of at least about 7 N/cm, as measured according to a MD tensile test; and/or a thickness of least about 0.4 mm, as measured according to Thickness Test. Such physical properties may help prevent and/or reduce instances of manufacturing problems and/or defective products during assembly by: enhancing the ability to consistently cut desired machine direction lengths of waist panels; reducing the possibility of a waist panel to undesirably fold back onto itself during assembly; enhancing the ability to absorb heat without damage and more consistently transfer discrete elastic parts between transformation apparatuses.

An absorbent core for a diaper for a non-human has a total superabsorbent polymer (SAP) load. The absorbent core includes a first zone including a first absorbent section and a second absorbent section, a second zone including a third absorbent section, and a third zone including a fourth absorbent section and a fifth absorbent section. The absorbent sections each include a range of 15% to 20% of the total SAP load. The second zone is between the first zone and the third zone. The absorbent core further includes seals surrounding each of the first absorbent section, the second absorbent section, the third absorbent section, the fourth absorbent section, and the fifth absorbent section. One of the seals extends through the first zone between the first absorbent section and the second absorbent section, and another of the seals extends through the third zone between the fourth absorbent section and the fifth absorbent section.

An absorbent article, a portion of which is configured to absorb fluids, has a chassis with a length greater than its width. The chassis length extends in a longitudinal direction from the back to the front of a user between first and second longitudinal edges and the width extends in a lateral direction substantially perpendicular to the length and between first and second lateral edges. Absorbent strips with a length greater than their width are arranged at outer edges of the chassis for added absorbency of the article.

An absorbent article and enclosing pants and a method for wearing the combination thereof are provided. The absorbent article has a front lifting section and a rear lifting section that are provided with apertures to allow male and female parts of hook-and-loop fasteners of the enclosing pants to touch inside the apertures and to engage outside the apertures for preventing skidding. An isolating absorbent article may have an easy tear line opening for selectively tearing and tightly surrounding around a rear root portion of the scrotum to isolate the external sex organ and for installation or extension of a urine tube or a urine sack. The enclosing pants has the front pad and a rear pad having two lifting and looping sections and a central opening section, the central opening for fixing and correspond the easy tear line opening.

This disclosure includes absorbent articles comprising first and second absorbent cuffs to prevent leaks. The present articles can comprise a chassis having opposing front and rear portions and a crotch portion extending longitudinally between the front and rear portions. An absorbent core can extend longitudinally along the crotch portion, and the first and second absorbent cuffs can extend longitudinally along the crotch portion as well. The absorbent cuffs can be positioned such that at least a portion of the absorbent core is positioned between the absorbent cuffs, and each can comprise a liftable portion and one or more elastics configured to urge the liftable portion away from the chassis and toward a wearer when the absorbent article is worn. Absorbent or hydrophobic end caps can extend across the ends of the absorbent cuffs.

An absorbent article (10, 110, 210) can include a waist containment member (54) with a first longitudinal side edge (72), a second longitudinal side edge (74), a proximal portion (76), and a distal portion (78). A fold (79a) can separate the proximal portion (76) from the distal portion (78). The proximal portion (76) can be coupled to the chassis (11) and the distal portion (78) can be configured to freely move with respect to the chassis (11) when the absorbent article (10, 110, 210) is in a relaxed configuration to provide a containment pocket (82). The absorbent article (10, 110, 210) can include a pair of containment flaps (50, 52). The containment flaps (50, 52) can each include a base portion (64) and a projection portion (66).
