An apertured nonwovens having a first nonwoven layer is described. The first nonwoven layer includes cellulose-based fibers and a plurality of apertures, wherein the plurality apertures have a minimum aperture distance between two adjacent apertures which has a relative standard deviation no greater than about 40%, as measured according to the Aperture Quality Test. The apertures have an aperture size no greater than about 2.2 mm.sup.2 and have an occlusion no greater than about 9%, as measured according to the Aperture Quality Test, or the apertures have an aspect ratio no greater than about 2.5 as measured according to the Aspect Ratio Test.

The physiological pants of the present invention comprise: a clothing layer, a waterproof layer, a water storage layer and a water-permeable layer; the clothing layer constructs a clothing; the waterproof layer is a surrounding wall to enclose the water storage space; the water-permeable layer and the water storage layer are arranged in the water storage space; wherein, the water-permeable layer includes a first layer body and a second layer body. The first layer body is formed with a plurality of first water-permeable holes, and the second layer body is formed with a plurality of second water-permeable holes smaller than the first water-permeable hole, so that a plurality of tapered holes are collectively formed inside the water-permeable layer by the first water-permeable hole and the second water-permeable hole, so as to prevent the liquid in the water storage layer from easily passing through the water-permeable layer when the water storage layer is squeezed.

An objective is to provide an absorbent article that can prevent backflow and can reduce water retention in a front sheet as much as possible. In an incontinence pad 1 for use with a medium or larger volume that absorbs 20 cc or a larger volume of urine, a front sheet 3 is formed by coating a water repellent on a spunlace nonwoven fabric that is made of 100 wt. % of cotton fiber. On a skin facing surface side, in a plan view, recess part lines 20, 21 of a diamond-shaped lattice pattern are formed from many first recess part lines 20 that go along a predetermined inclination angle direction and are formed with a constant gap in the pad longitudinal direction and many second recess part lines 21 that go along the inclination angle direction obtained by reversing the first recess part lines 20 in a width direction by the pad longitudinal direction and are formed with a constant gap in the pad longitudinal direction, partition areas 22 of a diamond-shaped lattice shape partitioned by these recess part lines 20, 21 are arranged adjacently in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. Furthermore, many open holes 10 penetrating through both sides are formed at least at an excretion hole corresponding part H.

An apertured nonwoven web is provided. The apertured nonwoven web comprises carded fibers, a first side, and a second side. The apertured nonwoven web defines a plurality of apertures therein. The apertures may each have a first side aperture size and a second side aperture size, and a ratio of the first side aperture size to the second side aperture size may be between about 1.15:1 to about 1:1.15. The plurality of apertures may have an aperture size regularity of about 1% to about 15%. The plurality of apertures may have an aperture shape regularity between about 1% to about 12%.

A laminate web having a polymer film layer and a nonwoven layer is disclosed. The polymer film layer makes up a first side of the laminate web and the nonwoven layer makes up a second side of the laminate web. The laminate web has a plurality of first elements extending from the polymer film. The web also has a plurality of second elements formed outwardly from the first side of the laminate web.

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween is described. The topsheet has an array of apertures forming apertured indicia. The array of apertures includes a first plurality of apertures having a first aspect ratio; a second plurality of apertures having a second aspect ratio and a first Absolute Feret Angle; and a third plurality of apertures having a third aspect ratio and a second Absolute Feret Angle, wherein the first Absolute Feret Angle and the second Absolute Feret Angle are different, and wherein the first aspect ratio is less than the second and third aspect ratios.

Disclosed is a nonwoven laminate having a texture for improved absorption and distribution of body liquids in sanitary products. The absorption and distribution effect is caused by perforations distributed in a pattern-like manner in combination with elevations present on one side of the nonwoven laminate.

In a composite sheet manufacturing device, a second roller having a plurality of first projections and a third roller are disposed so as to be adjacent to a first roller having multiple recessed areas. The outer diameters of the first and third rollers are the same size. The third roller is joined to the first roller with a first gear pair therebetween, so as to rotate at the same rotation frequency as that of the first roller. A first sheet that is fed in between the first roller and the second roller is shaped by being pushed into the recessed areas of the first roller by the first projections of the second roller. A second sheet is then superimposed onto the first sheet and is passed through the space between the first roller and the third roller, and the first and second sheets are thereby bonded to each other.

Provided are a perforated non-woven fabric and a production method thereof. The perforated non-woven fabric is formed by overlapping three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings of two perforated non-woven fabric layers. The first perforated non-woven fabric layer has a protruding portion and a recessed portion. The protruding portion has an internal space. An upper side of the second perforated non-woven fabric layer is adhered to a lower side of the recessed portion of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer. The overlapped three-dimensional funnel-shaped openings pass through the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer. An air flow passage is formed between continuous internal spaces of the protruding portions of the first perforated non-woven fabric layer and the second perforated non-woven fabric layer, thereby facilitating penetration of liquid and soft feces, reducing residues, enabling internal and external air flow circulation, and reducing discomfort from wetness.

A highly extensible nonwoven web is provided. The highly extensible nonwoven web may include continuous multi-component fibers. The continuous multi-component fibers may include polypropylene, wherein the polypropylene has a crystallinity of less than about 41%. The polypropylene may have a melting temperature of less than about 161 C. The highly extensible nonwoven web may define a plurality of apertures. The apertures may be patterned. The highly extensible nonwoven web may form a portion of an absorbent article.
