Devices and methods for treating accidental bowel leakage
Described here are body liners and methods for treating accidental bowel leakage using one or more body liners. The body liners may be formed from one or more liner layers and in some instances may comprise one or more adhesive regions to connect the body liners to the skin of a wearer. The body liners may be configured to absorb fluid, and may selectively distribute fluid relative to the body liner.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS HAVING APERTURES
The present disclosure provides three-dimensional materials having apertures. The apertures in the three-dimensional materials may be formed in portions of a generally planar region and/or in at least some of a plurality of discrete integral second regions. The apertures may help in BM or other bodily fluid acquisition and retention.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS HAVING APERTURES
An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable nonwoven topsheet, a nonwoven second material that is a separate material from the topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned intermediate the second material and the backsheet. The second material is positioned intermediate the topsheet and absorbent core. The topsheet is nested with the second material to form a nested laminate comprising a plurality of recesses and a plurality of raised areas. Voids are defined in the raised areas under the second material. A first aperture is formed in a substantially central location of the raised areas. The recesses each form a base positioned most distal from the substantially central locations of the raised areas. A second aperture is formed in the bases of the recesses. The first and second apertures extend through both the topsheet and second material.

Described here are body liners and methods for treating accidental bowel leakage using one or more body liners. The body liners may be formed from one or more liner layers and in some instances may comprise one or more adhesive regions to connect the body liners to the skin of a wearer. The body liners may be configured to absorb fluid, and may selectively distribute fluid relative to the body liner.
CONFIGURABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES
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 a pair of leg cuffs and a fully removable fastening member. 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. The absorbent articles may also comprise a wetness guard.
Tufted fibrous web
Disclosed is a fibrous web having a first region and at least one discrete integral second region, the second region having at least one portion being a discontinuity exhibiting a linear orientation and defining a longitudinal axis, and at least another portion being a deformation having a plurality of tufted fibers integral with but extending from the first region.
FORMED FILM ACQUISITION DISTRIBUTION LAYER AND ABSORPTIVE DEVICE THEREWITH
An absorptive device includes a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, and an acquisition distribution layer between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The acquisition distribution layer includes a formed film having a plurality of lands that contact a bottom surface of the topsheet and define an irregular array of cells.
Absorbent article
An absorbent article is provided with a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet and an absorbent body between the top sheet and the back sheet. The top sheet has a non-woven fabric having multiple convex portions and multiple concave portions. The individual convex portions and concave portions contain a blood lubricity-imparting agent that has a kinetic viscosity of 0.01-80 mm.sup.2/s at 40 C., a water retention rate of 0.01-4.0 mass % and a weight-average molecular weight of less than 1,000. The amount of the blood lubricity-imparting agent at the top of the convex portions is larger than in the parts other than the top of the convex portions. The amount of the blood lubricity-imparting agent at the bottom of the concave portions is larger than in the parts other than the bottom of the concave portions.
NON-WOVEN FABRIC HAVING STRIPE PROTRUSIONS ON SURFACE, AND ABSORPTION PRODUCT THEREOF
Disclosed in the present invention are a non-woven fabric having stripe protrusions on a surface, and an absorption product thereof. The surface of the non-woven fabric has several stripe protrusions which longitudinally extend and are transversely distributed; the stripe protrusions have a height between 0.5 mm-3.0 mm; a plurality of openings are formed in opening areas formed between the adjacent stripe protrusions; and the average area of each opening is less than 20 mm.sup.2. The longitudinal stripe protrusions on the surface of the non-woven fabric can guide body fluid in the longitudinal direction of the absorption product to increase a body fluid permeation area and increase the body fluid infiltration speed as well as effectively stop the body fluid from leaking laterally.
Topsheets for absorbent articles
A disposable absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent structure positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet includes an elongate central portion and two wing portions opposingly laterally extending from the elongate central portion. The topsheet forms a wearer-facing surface in the two wing portions. The topsheet includes one or more continuous channel-forming structures following one or a plurality of paths. The one or plurality of paths is substantially symmetric about a central longitudinal axis of the topsheet and predominately circumscribes a discharge locus on the central longitudinal axis of the topsheet. The one or more continuous channel-forming structures extends across a central lateral axis of the topsheet. The topsheet includes a continuous hinge forming structure following a path extending generally longitudinally along one of the wing portions and extending across the central lateral axis of the topsheet.
