An absorbent article comprises a topsheet, backsheet, and absorbent core positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and an outer cover nonwoven material. The outer cover nonwoven material comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface and/or the second surface. At least some of the three-dimensional features each comprise a first region and a second region. The first regions have a first value of an average intensive property. The second regions have a second, different value of the average intensive property. A garment-facing side of the backsheet comprises one or more visually vibrant graphics. A portion of the visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features overlaps a portion of the one or more visually vibrant graphics. The portion of the one or more visually vibrant graphics exhibits a chroma value greater than 8.

An absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, and an outer cover material or a landing zone having an embossed pattern is provided. A garment-facing surface of the backsheet has one or more graphics. A portion of the embossed pattern overlaps a portion of the graphics. The portion of the graphics exhibits a first L*, a*, b* color value, when measured through a densified region of the embossed pattern. The portion of the one or more graphics exhibits a second, different L*, a*, b* color value, when measured through a non-densified region of the outer cover material. The garment-facing surface of the backsheet has a graphic-free area of about 5% to about 85%. The embossed pattern forms at least one and less than 40 recognizable, discrete indicia.

Provided is a stretchable laminate that achieves both a weight reduction and an extension strength, and that can be stably produced. Also provided is an article including such stretchable laminate. The stretchable laminate of the present invention includes: an elastomer layer; and an olefin-based resin layer arranged on at least one side of the elastomer layer, wherein when a longitudinal direction of the stretchable laminate is defined as an MD direction and a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is defined as a CD direction, a ratio [10% extension strength in MD direction (N/30 mm)]/[basis weight (gsm)] of the stretchable laminate is 0.14 (N/30 mm.Math.gsm) or more.

A hydroentangled patterned apertured web comprises a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web, and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The plurality of apertures comprises a first set of apertures defining a heart shape and a second set of apertures defining a diamond shape. The heart shape is positioned within the diamond shape. The diamond shape encloses the heart shape. At least one land area of the plurality of land areas separates the heart shape from the diamond shape. The patterned apertured web comprises spunbond fibers.

An absorbent article including a liquid permeable topsheet on a wearer-facing side of the absorbent article and a garment-facing laminate on a garment-facing side of the absorbent article is disclosed. The garment-facing laminate includes a backsheet film and a nonwoven layer joined to the backsheet film. The nonwoven layer defines a plurality of apertures. At least 3 of the plurality of apertures in a repeat unit have a different Effective Aperture Area, according to the Aperture Test herein, a different shape, and a different Absolute Feret Angle, according to the Aperture Test herein. The absorbent article includes an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the garment-facing laminate.

Absorbent articles comprising a multilayer outer cover comprising a first outer layer and a second outer layer comprising a component that exhibits at least partial elastic recovery after mechanical activation in the machine direction; an inner layer, disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the inner layer comprising elastic strands; and wherein at least one of the first outer layer and second outer layer is laminated to the inner layer.

The present disclosure relates to front and back waist belt assemblies for absorbent articles. In some configurations, an absorbent article may include an absorbent chassis. First and second belts may be connected with opposing end regions of the chassis. At least one of the first belt and the second belt may comprise: an elastic material positioned between and connected with a first substrate and a second substrate. A panel layer extending longitudinally from a first lateral edge to a second lateral edge may be connected with at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate. The panel layer and/or the first and/or second substrate of the first and/or second belts may include features that differ along a width and/or length of the belts. Such features may include belt tensioning, rugosities, bonding patterns, and/or aperture arrangements.

A sanitary napkin for women includes a permeable inner sheet, which comes into contact with the skin of a wearer to thus allow secretions to pass therethrough, an outer sheet fused to the inner sheet, and an absorption pad disposed between the inner sheet and the outer sheet to absorb the secretions passed through the inner sheet, the outer sheet being a nanolaminate film composed of a nanomembrane formed by electrospinning a polymer solution and a strength-reinforcing nonwoven fabric laminated on one side of the nanomembrane.

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.

An absorbent article includes a permeable top sheet, an impermeable back sheet, an absorbing part disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, and a friction reducing layer disposed between the back sheet and the absorbing part. The friction between the friction reducing layer and the back sheet or the friction between the friction reducing layer and the absorbing part is less than the friction between the absorbing part and the back sheet.
