Leak-resistant underwear is provided. The leak-resistant underwear includes a gusset having a multi-layer construction. The multi-layer construction includes a sealed gusset assembly and a gusset portion of a body fabric. The sealed gusset assembly includes a next-to-skin layer, an absorbent layer, a blocking layer, polymer component. The absorbent layer is disposed between the next-to-skin layer and the blocking layer. The polymer component forms a seal between the next-to-skin layer and the blocking layer along at least a portion of respective perimeters of the next-to-skin layer and the blocking layer. The sealed gusset assembly is configured to be disposed between a wearer's skin and the gusset portion of the body fabric. In some cases, a portion of the perimeter of the gusset is sealed with a sealing tape.

The present invention generally relates to a diaper core, specifically a triple leak guard diaper core (1) for infant and adult, comprising: a center core (10) comprising liquid absorbing material (12) and a plurality of hollow sections (14) disposed on the core (10) longitudinally, allowing the core (10) to bend upward or forming a U-channel, and a center core top surface (CCTS) is provided facing a liquid discharge source (16); at least one layer of bottom core wrap (16) encapsulates the center core (10) with a bottom core gap (BCG) disposed on the center core top surface (CCTS); at least one layer of top core wrap (18) is disposed on the bottom core gap (BCG) and the bottom core wrap (16); and at least one layer of acquisition distribution layer (20) is disposed on the top core wrap (18).

An article comprising a leg gasketing system comprising a tackifier-free adhesive.

The present disclosure generally relates to an absorbent pad for use in a garment. The absorbent pad includes: a liquid impermeable barrier layer; a functional layer attached to the barrier layer, the functional layer comprising a liquid absorbent component; a liquid impermeable peripheral sealing element bonded to peripheries of the functional layer and barrier layer; and a peripheral attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion bonded to the peripheral sealing element. The second portion of the peripheral attaching element is detached from the peripheral sealing element and is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment.

An absorbent article has a basic functionality of a skin contact sheet present and configured on the surface of an absorber such that it rises therefrom, in which no positional displacement occurs at a crotch part and which effectively avoids contact between a wearer's skin and urine/feces. The absorbent article has: a leak preventer in sheet form; an absorber arranged above the leak preventer and capable of absorbing a bodily fluid in at least one layer; a skin contact member arranged above the absorber, between a front part of the leak preventer and a rear part of the leak preventer, and that makes contact with a wearer's skin and is spaced apart from the absorber at a time of use; and a connecting unit that couples a part of the skin contact member corresponding to a crotch part of the wearer with the absorber at the time of use.

A method for manufacturing an absorbent article including a topsheet, a backsheet, a core, a discrete barrier member, a first cuff, and a second cuff. A barrier substrate may be cut into a discrete barrier member including a leading edge portion, an opposing trailing edge portion, and a central portion therebetween. The discrete barrier substrate may be transferred onto a folding roll. A first cuff substrate and a second cuff substrate may be advanced onto the folding roll such that the discrete barrier substrate may be disposed on at least a portion of the first cuff substrate and the second cuff substrate. The discrete barrier member may include a fold between the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion. A topsheet substrate may associate with at least a portion of the discrete barrier member, the first cuff substrate, and the second cuff substrate.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core comprising absorbent material. The absorbent core is sandwiched between a liquid-permeable upper core cover layer and a lower core cover layer. The absorbent core has one or more elongated areas arranged therein, each elongated area being an absorbent material free area having a length as measured along the elongated area and a width. The upper core cover layer and the lower core cover layer in each of the one or more elongated absorbent material free areas are attached to each other within at least 2 attachment zones and at most 12 attachment zones, the attachment zones being spaced-apart in the longitudinal direction (Y) within each of the one or more absorbent material free areas.

An absorbent article includes: front waistline region; rear waistline region; crotch region disposed between front waistline region and rear waistline region; absorbent body that straddles crotch region, front waistline region, and rear waistline region; front exterior body disposed in front waistline region on non-skin surface side of absorbent body. Absorbent body includes absorbent core and front end part extending toward front side from absorbent core, a liquid-impermeable sheet and a liquid-permeable body sheet overlapping liquid-impermeable sheet in thickness direction are disposed at the front end part of absorbent body. Absorbent article includes: sheet non-bonding region where liquid-impermeable sheet and body sheet are not bonded; and body non-bonding region where absorbent body and front exterior body are not bonded. Front end part includes duplicating region where sheet non-bonding region and body non-bonding region overlap to each other.

The present disclosure pertains to a method for the manufacture of an absorbent article (1), said method comprising the steps of: # providing a front panel (2); # providing a back panel (3); # providing an absorbent insert (4) comprising front and back transversal edges and left and right longitudinal edges connecting the front and back transversal edges to form a perimeter thereof; # folding a portion of said absorbent insert (4) proximal to the front and/or back transversal edges thereof onto itself, preferably in the shape of a substantially U-fold, to form transversal waist barrier(s) (5); # joining said insert (4) to said front and back panels (2, 3); and # joining said front and back panels (2, 3) together along a pair of oppositely disposed side seams. The present disclosure also relates to an apparatus (20) to manufacture an absorbent article (1) according to the present method.
