The PET has less than 150 ppm of antimony.

An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure is disclosed, wherein the absorbent structure includes a wearer facing core layer including either a heterogeneous mass layer or a fibrous structure comprising a fibrous network, wherein a portion of the topsheet and wearer facing core layer are integrated such that they at least partially reside in the same X-Y plane.

A method of making a disposable absorbent article with a plurality of conforming features is described. The conforming features may be provided to the absorbent article in a variety of zones to allow for customizable conformance in particular regions of the absorbent article. And, the provision of these zones can also allow for customizable fluid kinetics in particular regions of the absorbent article.

A disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and the topsheet. At least a portion of the are depressions, wherein the depressions have a depression centerline bisecting a length and/or width of the depression. A first strut forms a first sidewall of the depression opposite a second sidewall of the depression formed by a second strut, wherein neither of the first strut nor the second strut extend longitudinally and/or laterally beyond the depression centerline by more than 0.75 mm.

A disposable absorbent article is described herein. The disposable absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent system disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. At least a portion of the has a plurality of conforming features such that the absorbent article has a blot residual value of less than 30 mg and a bending stiffness of less than 12.

An absorbent has longitudinal and lateral centerlines, first, second, and target regions, the target region being disposed between the first second regions. Each of the first, second target regions extend laterally across the disposable absorbent article. The disposable absorbent article also has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a fluid management layer disposed between the topsheet and absorbent core; and a target zone disposed in the target region. The target zone has a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and at least one of the topsheet or fluid management layer. The absorbent article also has a long fiber network.

An absorbent article is provided, the absorbent article comprising a nonwoven material. The nonwoven material comprises core/sheath bicomponent fibers wherein the core is formed of PET resin. The present disclosure also provides a wipe comprising a nonwoven material, the nonwoven material comprising core/sheath bicomponent fibers wherein the core is formed of PET resin. The PET has less than 150 ppm of antimony.

An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article includes a nonwoven, liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet includes a layer of fibers and has a plurality of apertures defined in the layer of fibers. At least some of the apertures have a side wall having a portion disposed an angle in the range of about 55 degrees to about 90 degrees, in the range of about 60 degrees to about 80 degrees, or in the range of about 63 degrees to about 75 degrees, according to the 2D X-Ray CT Scan Test herein.

A system of pantiliners and menstrual pads that can be used to alleviate undesirable conditions associated with dysmenorrhea or other physiological conditions is provided. The pantiliners of the invention include a top layer of composite material, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The menstrual pads of the invention include a top layer of composite material, an air-laid layer, a layer of super adsorbent polymer inside the air-laid layer, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The present system of pantiliners and menstrual pads is helpful in providing a decrease of pain and other unwanted symptoms during a menstrual cycle. In another advantage, the right placement guide and the left placement guide are provided to assist in placing the menstrual pads of the invention accurately in relation to the undergarment of the user.

A permeable nonwoven web having a plurality of fibers and/or filaments of a first polymer matrix forming an outer surface of each of the plurality of fibers and/or filaments is described herein. The first polymer matrix includes a hydrophilic melt additive and/or a tactile modifying melt additive blended therein. Energy application across the entirety of the web, or parts thereof, promotes the blooming of the melt additive from the first polymer matrix such that bloom areas are disposed on at least a portion of each of the outer surfaces of the fibers and/or filaments.
