A topsheet for use with an absorbent article is provided and comprises a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is a spunlace nonwoven and comprises at least 15% by weight of natural fibers by total weight of the first layer. The first layer comprises a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of apertures. The first layer and the second layer are in contact with each other between the plurality of the protrusions. The second layer has a plurality of apertures at least partially aligned with the apertures of the first layer. The first layer has a minimum CD strength of at least 3N/(5 cm), according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

A plurality of openings (11) is formed in a region corresponding to at least a body fluid discharge region (H) of a liquid permeable top sheet (3). A polymer sheet (6) disposed adjacent to a surface of an absorbent body (4) side of the liquid permeable top sheet (3) is included, and the polymer sheet includes highly absorbent resin disposed along a longitudinal direction on both sides of the region corresponding to the body fluid discharge region (H). Upon the highly absorbent resin becoming swollen by absorption, a space (10) for holding a body fluid is formed between regions in which the highly absorbent resin is disposed (12) and also between the liquid permeable top sheet (3) and the polymer sheet (6).

An absorption rate in an absorbent article including a cell absorber is improved. The above-mentioned problem is solved by an absorbent article including an absorber having a plurality of cells surrounded by bonded portions of an upper sheet and a lower sheet, the upper sheet and the lower sheet not bonded at the cells, and a particulate material including super absorbent polymer particles contained in the cells, in which at least one of the upper sheet and the lower sheet in the cells is formed into concaves depressed to outsides of the cells in a spread state, a middle sheet made of a nonwoven fabric is interposed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet, and the middle sheet is compressed in a thickness direction at the bonded portions and expands to insides of the concaves at portions located inside the cells.

The present invention provides a water absorption treatment material that has a structure suitable for obtaining a high level of water disintegrability. A water absorption treatment material is a water absorption treatment material that absorbs a liquid, and includes a granular core portion and a coating layer portion. The granular core portion has a granular shape. The granular core portion contains a first water-absorbent polymer. The coating layer portion covers the granular core portion. The coating layer portion contains a second water-absorbent polymer. The second water-absorbent polymer has a mean particle size smaller than the mean particle size of the first water-absorbent polymer.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent structure positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, wherein the absorbent structure comprises an absorbent core positioned in between the topsheet and the backsheet, a release structure being positioned in fluid communication with the absorbent core, said absorbent core comprising little to no cellulose fibers and/or fluff pulp and said absorbent core comprising an absorbent polymer material for absorbing and permanently holding fluids received from the topsheet and the release structure, wherein said release structure comprises at least one fibrous substrate structure having the capacity to receive and temporarily hold the fluids in proximity to the absorbent core so that the fluids can subsequently be transferred and released to and absorbed by the absorbent core.

An absorbent article comprising a polymer sheet 4 in which a super absorbent polymer 12 exists between an upper layer sheet 10 arranged on the skin side and a lower layer sheet 11 arranged on the non-skin side is included. A fiber absorber 5 including pulp fiber is disposed adjacent to the surface on the skin side of an area corresponding to a body fluid discharge region H of a wearer in the polymer sheet 4. The super absorbent polymer 12 is not arranged in an area which overlaps with the fiber absorber 5, and is arranged in the other area. The water absorption rate of the absorbent article is not reduced even when water is repeatedly absorbed. Additionally, leakage is prevented, a wearing feeling is not worsened, and the adsorbent article may have a reduction in thickness.

An absorbent article including an absorbent core having a fluid distribution layer and fluid storage layer, the fluid distribution layer being formed of two or more sub-layers. A first sub-layer has a first amount of multiple component binder fibers or crosslinked cellulose fibers, or a combination thereof. A second and/or subsequent sub-layer comprises treated or untreated pulp and a second amount of multiple component binder fibers, crosslinked cellulose fibers, or a combination thereof. The % by weight of the first sub-layer of the first amount of multicomponent binder fibers and/or crosslinked cellulose fibers is greater than the % by weight of the second or subsequent sub-layer of the second amount of multiple component binder fibers and/or crosslinked cellulose fibers.

A topsheet for use with an absorbent article is provided and comprises a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is a spunlace nonwoven and comprises at least 15% by weight of natural fibers by total weight of the first layer. The first layer comprises a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of apertures. The first layer and the second layer are in contact with each other between the plurality of the protrusions. The second layer has a plurality of apertures at least partially aligned with the apertures of the first layer. The first layer has a minimum CD strength of at least 3N/(5 cm), according to the Tensile Strength Test Method.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core comprises an absorbent material. The absorbent article further comprises a distribution material between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The distribution material is notionally divided in a front region, a back region and a middle region located between the front and the back region. Each of the front, back and middle regions is of the length of the distribution material. At least one of the front, back and middle regions of the distribution material comprises one or more layers. The one or more layers of the distribution material comprise a fibrous structure made of wet-laid fibers.

The present invention relates to an absorbent composite material and a absorbent article including such absorbent composite material. More particularly, the present invention relates to an absorbent composite material for use in sanitary absorbent products such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, diapers, adult incontinence products, and the like.
