A cover nonwoven fabric covers a back surface of an inner member from between a front side outer member and the inner member to between a back side outer member and the inner member. The cover nonwoven fabric extends from a back surface side of a base portion of one side gather to a back surface side of a base portion of the other side gather. The cover nonwoven fabric has holes penetrating the front and back surfaces at intervals from between the front side outer and inner members to between the back side outer and inner members. The side edges of the cover nonwoven fabric are located at the positions same as the side edges of the narrowest part of the absorber in the width direction or on the center side in the width direction with respect to the side edges of the narrowest part.

ABSORBENT ARTICLE COMPRISING ELASTOMERIC STRIPS

The present invention discloses a disposable or wearable absorbent article (1) that includes one or more elastomeric strand(s) (14) and/or strip(s) (16) on/in the backsheet (12) layer, localized in the absorbent core (10) region. The absorbent article (1) is preferably a baby diaper, an incontinence diaper, a pant or a pull up garment. The article may have a topsheet (6), a backsheet (12) and absorbent core (10) disposed between the topsheet (6) and backsheet (12), and a pair of longitudinal side edges. Elastomeric strand(s) (14) and/or strip(s) (16) is attached in longitudinal axis of the backsheet (12) of the absorbent article (1) in stretched form, whereby backsheet takes a crinkled form when it is in relaxed state. The absorbent article (1) fits better on users buttocks without sagging when the article is being worn.

ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING DISCONTINUOUS BOND PATTERNS
20200297555 · 2020-09-24 ·

The present disclosure provides absorbent articles comprising one or more nonwoven materials comprising discontinuous bond patterns that have a premium look, have adequate fastening performance when receiving hooks, and that have low levels of fuzz. The nonwoven components may be an outer cover nonwoven material, a discrete landing zone, a non-elasticized front belt comprising or more nonwoven materials, or other nonwoven component, for example.

Shaped Nonwovens that Exhibit High Visual Resolution
20200299880 · 2020-09-24 ·

A nonwoven fabric is disclosed. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and at least a first visually discernible zone of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, and the first visually discernible zone can exhibit a high visual resolution.

Disposable absorbent article with water repelling layer
10779999 · 2020-09-22 · ·

A disposable absorbent article, having a front-back direction that is perpendicular to a width direction and a thickness direction that extends from a skin contact surface side to a non-skin contact surface side of a wearer, includes: an absorbent constituent; a liquid-permeable topsheet that is disposed on the skin contact surface side of the absorbent constituent; and a leakage-preventing sheet that is disposed on at least one of an outside, in the thickness direction, of the absorbent constituent, and an outside, in the width direction, of the absorbent constituent. The leakage-preventing sheet includes a water repelling layer including a nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric of the water repelling layer includes fiber and has an average fiber diameter of 0.5 to 10 m. The water repelling layer includes a water repelling section where a group of particles adhere to a surface of the fiber.

Absorbent Articles Having Fully Removable Fastening Members

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a fully removable fastening member configured to join a portion of the first waist region to the second waist region. The fastening member includes a first end region comprising a first end, a second end region comprising a second end, a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and in the first end region, and a second fastener on the first surface and in the second end region. The fastening member includes a grasp region either partially laterally outboard of the first fastener or laterally outboard of the first fastener in the first end region. The grasp region has a different physical property than a remainder of the fastening member.

ABSORBENT CORES WITH ENHANCED FIT AND ABSORBENCY

An absorbent core is disclosed. The core includes a first absorbent core construction having multiple spaced-apart sections of a fibrous construction having a fiber structure. A first nonwoven sheet is positioned above the fibrous construction. A second nonwoven sheet is positioned below the fibrous construction. The first nonwoven sheet is coupled with the second nonwoven sheet at locations between adjacent sections of the multiple spaced-apart sections of the fibrous construction. Absorbent material is disposed within the fiber structure, between the first and second nonwoven sheets.

DISPOSABLE BABY DIAPERS AND RELATED METHODS
20200197560 · 2020-06-25 ·
