An incontinence aid may include a pad body. The pad body may include a liquid receiving area. The incontinence aid may further include a liquid passage connected to the pad body. The liquid passage may form a boundary about a majority of the liquid receiving area. The liquid passage may include at least one lateral opening facing the liquid receiving area.

An absorbent article has a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent assembly positioned between the back sheet and the top sheet. The absorbent article includes a fluid intake layer positioned between the absorbent assembly and the top sheet. The fluid intake layer has a rearward-facing arch located in a back portion of the fluid intake layer. The fluid intake layer has an opening. The absorbent article includes a first lateral stiffener and a second lateral stiffener extending along a majority of the longitudinal side edges of the fluid intake layer. The absorbent article includes a first flexure, a second flexure, and a third flexure in a rear portion of the absorbent article.

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.

In an absorbent article having an elongate shaped main body with compressed grooves, the compressed grooves include: a pair of front-rear direction compressed grooves extending in a front-rear direction; and an end region compressed groove formed in at least one of a front end region and a rear end region, and having a shape including a substantial V-shape projecting toward a middle region. The front-rear compressed grooves extend beyond the tip of the end region compressed groove in a direction away from a body fluid discharge opening corresponding region.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, and an incontinence pad, and more particularly to an absorbent article in which a skin-side surface of a back side part of an absorbent body has a front-surface side concave groove recessed to the non-skin side and a plurality of partitioned absorption parts partitioned by the front-surface side concave groove and a non-skin-side surface of the back side part of the absorbent body has a gluteal cleft-facing concave groove recessed to the skin side.

An absorbent article has a planar direction and a thickness direction. The absorbent article includes a volatile first functional component, a volatile second functional component, water-disintegrable microcapsules that contain the second functional component, and a solvent that keeps the second functional component contained inside the microcapsules. Between a liquid-permeable layer and an absorption layer, the absorbent article has functional composition coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with the functional composition, and has adhesive coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with an adhesive. The adhesive coated regions have an adhesive region that directly or indirectly joins the liquid-permeable payer and the absorption layer.

An absorbent article can have a topsheet layer, a backsheet layer, and an absorbent system positioned between the topsheet layer and the backsheet layer. The absorbent system can have at least a fluid intake layer, an absorbent core, and a distribution layer. The fluid intake layer and the absorbent core can define an aligned annular opening in the absorbent system and can maintain the topsheet layer in a spaced apart relationship from the distribution layer.

A main body (8) of an absorbent article includes a compressed groove recessed from a topsheet (3) side toward a backsheet (2) side, the compressed groove including a pair of front-rear direction compressed grooves extending in the front-rear direction, wherein the front-rear direction compressed grooves (10) each include high-compressed portions (11) and a low-compressed portion (12) which is less deeply recessed than the high-compressed portions. The front-rear direction compressed grooves (10) each include a first rear compressed groove (10b) formed in a region corresponding to an intergluteal cleft (70) of a wearer when attached, and a middle compressed groove (10a) formed forward of the first rear compressed groove. A total area per unit length in the front-rear direction of the high-compressed portions (11) in the first rear compressed groove (10b) is smaller than a total area per unit length in the front-rear direction of the high-compressed portions (11) in the middle compressed groove (10a).

Disclosed is a sanitary article including a topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core, the sanitary article having an extension in longitudinal and transverse directions, the sanitary article having first and second longitudinal edges extending in the longitudinal direction and front and rear transverse edges extending in the transverse direction, the sanitary article being divided in a front portion, crotch portion and a rear portion, the absorbent core including a head portion, body portion and neck portion forming a transitional region between the head portion and the body portion, the head portion being positioned in the front portion and the body portion being positioned in the crotch portion and rear portion, wherein a transverse width at the neck region is smaller than a maximum transverse width of the absorbent core in the head portion and the body portion, wherein the absorbent core comprises three individual and separate embossed functional design elements.

Disclosed is a disposable hygiene article having a transverse direction, longitudinal direction and longitudinal centerline, the article having a front portion, crotch portion and rear portion, and including a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, and absorbent core arranged between the topsheet and backsheet, the topsheet and backsheet extending beyond the absorbent core to provide an outer boundary region of the article, the outer contour of the absorbent core being defined by mutually symmetrical mirror-imaged portions about the longitudinal centre line, the core including a neck region, the portion of the core forward of the neck region being defined as a head region and the portion of the core rearward of the neck being defined as the body portion, the article including at least one asymmetrical wing including an outer edge, the at least one asymmetrical wing outer edge meeting the disposable hygiene article at front and rear wing junctions.
