SANITARY ARTICLE WITH LATERAL UNDERSURFACE RESILIENT AND DEFORMABLE PORTIONS

A sanitary article comprises a longitudinal main body defining opposite longitudinal ends and opposite lateral sides and comprising an upper part, a lower part and an absorbent core therebetween attached together at a common central portion of the longitudinal main body. The upper part and the lower part are separated from each other at the lateral sides of longitudinal main body to define separate lateral upper part and lower part portions at each of the lateral sides. The upper part comprises a liquid pervious body contacting surface. The lower part comprising a garment contacting surface.

Substrates and Laminates for Absorbent Articles
20190262196 · 2019-08-29 ·

The present disclosure provides substrates and laminates for absorbent articles and absorbent articles comprising the substrates or laminates. The substrates and laminates may have three-dimensional elements, land areas, and increased permeability regions intermediate at least some of the land areas and at least some of the three-dimensional elements. The increased permeability regions may be positioned adjacent to the three-dimensional elements. The land areas may have a first basis weight and the increased permeability regions may have a second basis weight. The first basis weight may be greater than the second basis weight.

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING GRAPHICS

An absorbent article may be constructed by printing graphics on webs used to form discrete components that are joined together at seams to form the absorbent article.

BEAMED ELASTOMERIC LAMINATE STRUCTURE, FIT, AND TEXTURE

The present disclosure relates to stranded elastomeric laminates (including bi-laminates and tri-laminates) comprising beamed elastics and may have inventive Dtex-to-Nonwoven-Basis-Weight-Ratios, Dtex-to-Spacing-Ratios, and/or Void-Area-to-Strand-Area-Ratios. The stranded laminates of the present disclosure may be used for disposable absorbent article components (including pant belts) and may comprise inventive bonding arrangements that yield inventive textures and texture arrangements. When the inventive stranded elastomeric laminates are used for pant belts, the pants may have inventive Application-Forces, Sustained-Fit-Load-Forces, and Sustained-Fit-Unload-Forces. Further, when absorbent articles are packaged under compression at inventive In-Bag-Stack-Heights, the stranded elastomeric laminates of the present disclosure maintain their inventive properties and characteristics, including their inventive textures.

Method of constructing absorbent articles comprising graphics

An absorbent article may be constructed by printing on a web that forms a portion of the side panels using a first printing method; and by printing on a backsheet using a second printing method. Seams may be formed by attaching the side panels to a chassis and by attaching the side panels to each other to form a waist opening and leg openings.

Absorbent article

An absorbent article (1) of the present invention has, in at least one of a front portion and a rear portion thereof, an elasticized portion (G) that is stretchable and contractible in an article lateral direction (Y). The elasticized portion (G) has an outer sheet (22) to be disposed on a side that is away from the skin of a wearer, an inner sheet (23) to be disposed on a side that is closer to the skin of the wearer than the outer sheet (22) is, and a plurality of elastic members (24) that are arranged between the outer and inner sheets in a state in which the elastic members are stretched in the article lateral direction (Y). The outer sheet (22) and the inner sheet (23) are partially joined to each other at a joined region (26). The joined region (26) is sandwiched between non-joined regions (36) where the outer sheet (22) and the inner sheet (23) are not continuously joined to each other in an article longitudinal direction or the article lateral direction. A plurality of the joined regions (26) and a plurality of the non-joined regions (36) are repeatedly arranged in the article longitudinal direction or the article lateral direction. The outer sheet (22) is configured to be deformable so as to bulge toward a non-skin-facing surface side due to contraction of the elastic members (24) and form a plurality of folds (29) along the article longitudinal direction (X) or the article lateral direction (Y). The absorbent article (1) has holes penetrating the outer sheet (22) at positions in the folds (29) formed by the outer sheet (22), the positions overlapping the elastic members (24) in a thickness direction.
