The absorbent article (10) can also include an acquisition layer (70, 170, 270, 370, 470) including a body facing surface (70a) and a garment facing surface (70b). The acquisition layer (70, 170, 270, 370, 470) can include at least one recess (90). The at least one recess (90) can receive the at least one embossment (64) in a nested configuration. In some embodiments, the embossment (64) can include an intersecting slit formation (78).

A detachable urine flow collection device that integrates with a disposable nonwoven or underwear garment worn by a human male or female. The incontinence device fits through an opening in the disposable nonwoven or underwear garment. The incontinence device is ellipsoid in shape and will be in direct and intimate contact with the users' genitals. This design allows the incontinence device to collect urine when the user urinates in different body positions. The main purpose of the incontinence devise is to channel this urine and liquid away from contact with the user and their skin as the constant contact of the liquid and urine is harmful. The channeling of urine and liquid away from the users skin is accomplished by the design of the incontinence device and the combinations of nonwoven materials that direct, move and store the urine and liquid in the device.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an absorbent article in which a bonding part for bonding a liquid-permeable layer to an absorbent core has been formed in a low-basis-weight region of the absorbent core and which has all of sufficient flexural rigidity of the bonding part, sufficient bonding strength of the bonding part, and sufficient liquid-absorbing properties. This problem is solved with an absorbent core which comprises a first region that has a given absorbent-material basis weight and second regions (regions 411a, 411b) that have a lower absorbent-material basis weight than the first region, wherein the ratio of the basis weight of a highly absorbing polymer to the basis weight of the absorbent material in the second regions is regulated to 10/100 to 47/100, and compressed parts are formed inside the second regions.

A fluid-distributing structure includes a flexible body having a plurality of fluid reservoirs defined therein, and a plurality of directional fluid barriers. The fluid reservoirs are fluidly connected to one another by openings defined within the body. Each fluid barrier is associated with one of the openings defined in the body, and is configured to permit fluid flow through the opening in a downstream direction and inhibit fluid flow through the opening in an upstream direction.

A disposable absorbent article includes a bodyside liner, an outer cover, an absorbent body disposed between the bodyside liner and the outer cover, and a surge layer disposed between the bodyside liner and the absorbent body, the surge layer having an X-Y plane, a Z-direction, and a longitudinal direction, and a barrier extending substantially through the surge material in the Z-direction, wherein the barrier is configured to block at least one linear longitudinal fluid flow path. The surge layer can alternatively have a plurality of barriers extending substantially through the surge material in the Z-direction, wherein the plurality of barriers is configured to block a plurality of linear longitudinal fluid flow paths or all linear longitudinal fluid flow paths while allowing non-linear fluid flow paths in the longitudinal direction.

A reusable textile material for managing a bodily fluids and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the textile material includes a first layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, a second layer in contact with the outer surface of the first layer, and a third layer opposite the second layer from the first layer. In some embodiments, the first layer is configured to draw the bodily fluid through the first layer from the inner surface to the outer surface while dispersing the bodily fluid laterally across the first layer. In some embodiments, the second layer is configured to pull the bodily fluid away from the outer surface and hold the bodily fluid in the second layer. In some embodiments, the third layer is configured to confine the bodily fluid from in the second layer.

An absorbent article (10) can include a body facing liner (28), a backsheet (26), and an absorbent body (34) disposed between the body facing liner (28) and the backsheet (26). The body facing liner (28) can include at least one embossment (64). The absorbent article (10) can also include an acquisition layer (70, 170, 270, 370, 470) including a body facing surface (70a) and a garment facing surface (70b). The acquisition layer (70, 170, 270, 370, 470) can include at least one recess (90). The at least one recess (90) can receive the at least one embossment (64) in a nested configuration. In some embodiments, the embossment (64) can include an intersecting slit formation (78).

Nursing pad with a filament core and a process thereof, and relates to the technical field of nursing pads, comprising a layer of PE waterproof film and a layer of non-woven fabric, a cotton core is filled in the gap between the PE waterproof film and the non-woven fabric, filaments are blended inside the cotton core. The main highlight of the nursing pad in this invention is that the filaments are blended into the cotton core; filaments are a type of textile material, and during the filament spinning process, elastic fibers are added to make the filaments both flexible and elastic; in addition, during production, as the filaments are transported on the conveyor belt, the cotton core does not easily loosen, which enhances the equipment's operating speed and increases production output.

Embodiments are directed to a multi-layered urine capture device suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body. The urine capture device can be positioned adjacent a urethra of a female user. The urine capture device can include a plurality of layers, for example, one or more fluid permeable layers, one or more absorbent layers, one or more hydrophobic layers, one or more wicking layers, one or more fluid impermeable layers, and other suitable layers.
