A sanitary protective napkin has a backing panel having an overall length, a width and a thickness, in a first shape having an outer periphery, an absorbent pad joined to the backing panel by a first adhesive on one side of the backing panel, the absorbent pad having a second shape, leaving a region of a common width around the outer periphery of the backing panel, and a second adhesive compatible with human skin applied to the region of common width around the periphery of the backing panel on the same side of the backing panel as the absorbent pad, enabling a user to apply the sanitary napkin with no undergarment or other device for anchoring the sanitary napkin.

The present invention provides a sanitary pad including an upper sheet made of pure organic cotton through which a liquid is permeable, a first absorbing sheet disposed below the upper sheet and made of pure organic cotton configured to absorb the liquid, a second absorbing sheet disposed below the first absorbing sheet and made of natural compressed pulp configured to absorb the liquid, and a waterproof sheet disposed below the second absorbing sheet and having air permeability.

The embodiments disclose an apparatus including a child sanitary napkin including a disposable child sanitary napkin underwear, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes a waterproof non porous outer layer, an adhered superabsorbent polymer layer, an odor absorbing activated charcoal pad layer with a soft cotton covering layer, an imprinted product barcode and an embedded RFID chip for tracking the child via a digital device cellular connection, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes a shape contoured to a female anatomical groin area, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes flared front and rear terminus areas to increase an adhesive bonding area, wherein the child sanitary napkin includes sizes conforming to children's clothing and age sizes, and age appropriate decorative images including stickers to apply to the child sanitary napkin outer surface.

A method for isolating microorganisms from areas external and proximate a menstruating user's genital area is also disclosed. The method utilizes an absorbent article having a topsheet formed of nonwoven web material having favorable skin-feel qualities associated with nonwovens, and including hydrophilic fibers. A tendency of the topsheet material to absorb and retain discharged menstrual fluid, resulting from presence of hydrophilic fibers, is mitigated by inclusion of an absorbent core structure including suitable absorbent, open-celled foam material disposed directly beneath the topsheet in closely maintained, direct face-to-face contact with the outward-facing surface thereof. The absorbent foam may be suitably manufactured so as to have the ability to effectively draw fluid from the topsheet and retain it away from the topsheet. In such configuration, growth of microorganisms that might by supported by fluid retained by the topsheet, proximate the wearer's skin surfaces, is reduced or prevented.

The present disclosure describes a tampon article, a composite fibrous web, and a method of making same. Such an article includes an outer carrier component including an inner surface that defines an internal void. Including an absorbent component elongate along an axis and is disposed in the internal void. The absorbent component includes an outer surface that extends about the axis and faces the inner surface. The absorbent component further includes a composite fibrous web of staple cellulosic fibers and a meltspun web of filaments entangled with the web of staple cellulosic fibers. The composite fibrous web can be in a compressed configuration in the internal void such that at least portion of the outer surface of the absorbent component is defined by the meltspun web of filaments. The tampon can include a withdrawal cord coupled to the absorbent component.

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 biodegradable, disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper, having a non-woven inner layer of natural fibers and a non-woven outer layer of natural fibers and a treatment applied to at least one surface thereof. The treatment includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of waxes, urethanes, silicones, fluorocarbons, and non-fluorochemical repellants. The absorbent article has a core of natural fibers or fibrous material, and optionally polyacrylate superabsorbent particles, positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The article may contain polylactic acid films between the layers.
