The present invention relates to an absorbent core for sanitary products with an absorption matrix which comprises a high proportion of super-absorbing particles, and an absorbent core cover for enveloping the absorption matrix, wherein the absorbent core cover comprises at least one upper side sheet and one bottom side sheet, and the absorbent core cover comprises at least one connection region spaced apart from the edge of the absorbent core in which the upper side sheet and the bottom side sheet are connected to each other. Here, at least the upper side sheet of the absorbent core cover is embodied as a fleece composite with a fixing layer with a low permeability to retain the particles in the absorption matrix, and a transfer layer for acquiring fluid. Moreover, the invention relates to a sanitary product having such an absorbent core, the use of a fleece composite as an absorbent core cover, and a method for manufacturing a fleece composite for the upper side sheet of the absorbent core cover.

A process of making an absorbent article is disclosed. A liquid permeable topsheet web extending substantially continuously in a machine direction a backsheet web, and an acquisition layer are provided. The topsheet web has first and second surfaces. The backsheet web extends substantially continuously in the machine direction. The acquisition layer has a first and second surface. The topsheet and acquisition layer are aligned in a face to face relationship such that the second surface of the topsheet in in contact with the first surface of the acquisition layer and simultaneously mechanically deformed which combines the topsheet with the acquisition layer. The topsheet web and acquisition layer are nested together such that a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the topsheet web coincide with and fit together with a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the acquisition layer to provide a topsheet/acquisition layer laminate web having three-dimensional protrusions.

An absorbent core (28), for use in an absorbent article, comprising a core wrap (16, 16) enclosing an absorbent material (60) comprising superabsorbent polymer particles. The core wrap comprises a top side (16) and a bottom side (16), and the absorbent core comprises one or more area(s) (26) substantially free of absorbent material through which the top side of the core wrap is attached to the bottom side of the core wrap, so that when the absorbent material swells the core wrap forms one or more channel(s) (26) along the area(s) (26) substantially free of absorbent material. The superabsorbent polymer particles have a time to reach an uptake of 20 g/g (T20) of less than 240 s as measured according to the K(t) test method.

A tissue paper product is provided having at least one ultra-low density ply having a highly porous, open-celled structure and that comprises cellulosic fibers, a water insoluble binder and a foaming surfactant. The cellulosic fiber comprises greater than 50% by weight of the ply and are bonded to one another by hydrogen bonding. Further, the ply has a density less than about 0.04 g/cc and yet still provides low lint and high strength properties with the use of minimal binder. The ultra-low density ply may comprise or be included in sheets forming a stack of dispensable wipers or may be employed as or part of an absorbent core or liquid distribution layer of a personal care absorbent personal care product such as a diaper or feminine pad.

A disposable wearable article has a top sheet constituting a surface for use, a liquid-impervious sheet provided on the under face side, and an absorbent element interposed therebetween, wherein the top sheet is formed of perforated nonwoven fabric having a number of holes arranged at intervals and each penetrating two sides of the fabric. The absorbent element includes an absorber body and a packing sheet covering the absorber body. The packing sheet is formed of laminated nonwoven fabric having a spunbonded layer and a melt-blown layer, and a moisturizer composed mainly of glycerin is applied to an exterior surface of the top sheet.

A disposable absorbent undergarment is disclosed. It includes an absorbent assembly comprising a core formed of a synthetic tow or of synthetic nonwoven layers and having first section comprising a slow acting but high absorption capacity SAP and a second section comprising a fast acting but lower absorption capacity SAP, all of which is wrapped in a wrapper to hold the SAP in place. The absorbent assembly may be quilted and corrugated. The undergarment also includes releasably securable fasteners to enable it to be readily removed and a suspension system to ensure that the garment fits properly and doesn't leak even when holding a large amount of exudate. Odor removal/masking and treatment features may be provided. It addition the undergarment may include a wetness indicator.

Absorbent articles comprising odor control compositions that are not visible from the outside of the article due to placement on or next to the absorbent core wrap.

An absorbent core for use in an absorbent article is provided and comprises a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, the absorbent material comprising superabsorbent polymer particles. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side. The absorbent core comprises one or more area(s) substantially free of absorbent material through which the top side of the core wrap is attached to the bottom side of the core wrap (i.e. core wrap bond(s)), so that when the absorbent material swells, the core wrap forms one or more channel(s) along the area(s) substantially free of absorbent material. The superabsorbent polymer particles have a value of Effective Capacity (EFFC) of at least 27 g/g. The Effective Capacity (EFFC) is calculated via the formula below: EFFC=(CRC+AAP)/2. The Centrifuge Retention Capacity (CRC) is measured according to the Centrifuge Retention Capacity (CRC) test method and the Absorption Against Pressure (AAP) is measured according to the Absorption Against Pressure (AAP) test method. The superabsorbent polymer particles have a bulk density of at least 0.5 g/ml according to the Bulk Density Test Method.
