The present invention relates to a layered absorbent structure in the form of a laminate including liquid storage layers comprising particulate superabsorbent material and adhesive fibers. Notably, the absorbent structure includes a wicking layer positioned between the liquid storage layers, with the wicking layer desirably acting to improve fluid spreading and rewet performance of the absorbent structure. The wicking layer preferably comprises airlaid cellulosic fibrous material such as wood pulp, and may optionally include superabsorbent polymer. A bonding pattern of the wicking layer is oriented to enhance wicking and rewet performance.

Absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core, said absorbent core having: a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge; a longitudinal center line dividing the absorbent core in a first and second longitudinal portion; and a transverse crotch line dividing the absorbent core in a front and a rear portion; wherein the absorbent core is provided with at least a first and second elongate attachment zone extending in the direction of the first and/or second transverse edge; said first elongate attachment zone crossing said longitudinal center line in at least a first crossing point; and said second elongate attachment zone crossing said longitudinal center line in at least a second crossing point; wherein said first and second crossing point may be the same point or a different point, and may be located in said front portion and/or in said rear portion.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap and a back core wrap, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge; the absorbent core comprising at least a front and a rear attachment zone, and a bridging zone extending at least partially between said front and rear attachment zone, wherein the bridging zone extends from a first longitudinal portion of the absorbent core to a second longitudinal portion of the absorbent core, such that upon wetting of the absorbent material, a front and rear channel are created at said front and rear attachment zone, respectively, wherein the bridging zone allows a liquid flow between the first longitudinal portion and the second longitudinal portion.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap and a back core wrap, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge; the absorbent core being comprising at least a first and a second attachment zone, extending next to each other in the direction of the first and/or second transverse edge; wherein in said first and second attachment zone: said top core wrap is attached to said back core wrap along an attachment which extends over a transverse distance which is at least 1 mm; and/or said top core wrap is attached to said back core wrap along a discontinuous attachment at a plurality of locations at a distance of each other; such that upon wetting of the absorbent material, a first and second channel are created at said first and second attachment zone.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap sheet and a back core wrap sheet, said absorbent core being positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, said absorbent core having a first and second side edge, a front edge and a rear edge, wherein the absorbent core is provided with a plurality of attachment zones where the top core wrap sheet is attached to the back core wrap sheet, and where substantially no absorbent material is present, wherein, seen in a longitudinal direction of the absorbent core, looking from the front edge to the rear edge, the absorbent core comprises subsequently a first, second, third, fourth and fifth zone.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap sheet and a back core wrap sheet, said absorbent core being positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge, said absorbent core having a first portion (130a), (130b) and a second portion (130b), (130a) on either side of a transverse crotch line (L), wherein the absorbent core is provided with a plurality of attachment zones where the top core wrap sheet is attached to the back core wrap sheet, wherein, measured in a transverse direction, a first maximum distance between a first and a second attachment zone is bigger than a second maximum distance between a third and a fourth attachment zone.

An absorbent article comprises a topsheet on the wearer-facing side, a backsheet on the garment-facing side, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core comprises an absorbent material comprising a superabsorbent polymer, a core wrap enclosing the absorbent material, and a first channel disposed on one side of the longitudinal axis and a second channel disposed on the other side of the longitudinal axis.

A flexible absorbent pad has a dry thickness of between 2 mm and 10 mm and a difference in flexural-resistance between the dry state and the wet state of an absorbent center zone of the absorbent pad of less than 100 grams-force. The absorbent core of the pad may include an airlaid, a foam, or a fibrous staple filament. The absorbent core of the absorbent pad may be corrugated, such as with flexure hinges, in which case adhesive is applied to the backsheet of the absorbent pad in a pattern that leaves the flexure hinges devoid of adhesive so that the backsheet is attached to the absorbent core in a manner that does not impede the flexing of the flexure hinges.

An absorbent article comprises a topsheet on the wearer-facing side, a backsheet on the garment-facing side, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core comprises an absorbent material comprising a superabsorbent polymer, a core wrap enclosing the absorbent material, and a first channel disposed on one side of the longitudinal axis and a second channel disposed on the other side of the longitudinal axis.
