A compressed groove point (16) where compressed grooves (12) formed bilaterally and symmetrically on both sides of a center line (CL) in a lengthwise direction of a sanitary napkin (1) or lines extended from center lines of the compressed grooves (12) intersect with each other at a position corresponding to a front end (31) of a intergluteal cleft of a wearer is formed, and a right and left pair of outline inflection points (17) is formed in an outline of a rear end of the sanitary napkin (1) formed into a bilateral and symmetric wavelike shape. Easy deformation parts (18) that facilitate generation of a deformation in a transverse direction of the sanitary napkin (1) and are formed of the compressed grooves that become base edges of the deformation, are provided on or in the vicinity of two virtual lines (S) connecting the compressed groove base point (16) to the outline inflection points (17) on right and left sides, respectively, such that a distance between the two virtual lines (S) gradually increases toward a rea side.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having at least two longitudinally extending channel-forming areas and a wetness indicator. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid the core wrap forms channels along these areas substantially free of absorbent material.

An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core positioned intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet, each layer having a skin-facing side, the absorbent article being arranged along a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis, and the absorbent article defining a front portion having a front edge, a back portion having a back edge and a crotch portion intermediate the front portion and the back portion, wherein the back portion of the absorbent article further includes a transversally extending capture layer, wherein the capture layer includes an outboard transversal edge facing the back edge and two longitudinal edges being sealed to any part of the absorbent article, wherein the capture layer further includes an inboard transversal edge facing the front edge, the inboard transversal edge being unsealed for gathering of feces, wherein the capture layer is positioned to at least partially cover the skin-facing side of the topsheet, wherein the absorbent core includes at least one thickness, wherein at least the back portion of the absorbent article further includes at least one centrally oriented zone in the absorbent core, the zone being at least partially recessed, resulting in the zone having a generally lower thickness in relation to the thickness of surrounding parts of the absorbent core.

An absorbent article that can be a sanitary napkin. The absorbent article comprises a topsheet joined to a backsheet and has an absorbent core material disposed therebetween, the absorbent core material being a fibrous absorbent material exhibiting on one side thereof discrete raised portions. The raised portions define a continuous network of channels, the channels defining a void region adjacent the topsheet of the sanitary napkin.

A adult incontinence garment assembly for assisting with incontinence and inhibiting bedsores includes a diaper that can be worn on a user thereby facilitating the diaper cover the user's crotch. A pad is integrated into the diaper to absorb bodily fluids from the user when the diaper is worn. A plurality of cushions is each integrated into the diaper and each of the cushions is strategically positioned on the diaper. In this way each of the cushions can be aligned with the user's hips and the user's tailbone when the diaper is worn. Additionally, each of the cushions is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to inhibit the user from developing bedsores while wearing the diaper.

The present invention relates to absorbent cores for use in absorbent articles, preferably of the disposable personal hygiene type. It discloses absorbent cores comprising a foam layer incorporating a nonwoven fabric and having a top surface and a bottom surface, said foam layer top surface comprising one or more indented compressed portions and one or more raised non-compressed portions. The foam layer has openings extending through the foam and the nonwoven fabric. The absorbent core further comprises, joined to the bottom surface of the foam layer, a nonwoven comprising superabsorbent polymers. Absorbent cores of the present invention provide a fast acquisition of body exudates and a good liquid retention capacity. This is further achieved in a simple and cost-effective way without complex and considerable foam formulation and processing requirements.
