A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and a waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge.

A flow of an excretion liquid into a side pocket is accomplished with a simple structure using an imperforated sheet. A side pocket extending in a front-back direction LD is disposed in an absorbent article on a lateral side of an absorber. The side pocket is surrounded by a side cover portion reaching the back surface side of the absorber from above a side of a top sheet via an upper portion, an outer side, and a lower portion of the side pocket. A portion located above the side of the top sheet in the side cover portion includes a non-bonded portion not bonded to the top sheet and a bonded portion located on both front and back sides of the non-bonded portion. A gap between the side cover portion and the top sheet in the non-bonded portion is open above the top sheet and toward the side pocket.

Absorbent articles of the present disclosure may be constructed with a secondary liner sheet placed on top of a body facing liner of the articles configured to form a pocket. The pocket provides a barrier, thereby separating a front region of the absorbent articles from a rear region. In this manner, the absorbent articles of the present disclosure may reduce the spread of bodily exudates throughout the articles. The reduced spreading of exudates may help to keep skin healthy by reducing the amount of skin exposed to the skin irritants within the exudates and/or by preventing additional skin irritants from being created by preventing the mixing of BM and urine, at least in proximity to the skin of the wearer.

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.

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and at least one waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge. The leg gasketing system may also include a leg gasketing system pocket with an opening on an inboard longitudinal edge of the pocket.

A pant type disposable absorbent article including a front body panel, a back body panel positioned at a distance from said front body panel, and an absorbent member; the absorbent article having a longitudinal central axis X-X and a transverse central axis Y-Y; the front body panel being substantially rectangular, and having a waist edge, two side edges, and an inward edge including a crotch edge and leg opening edges on each side of the crotch edge, between the crotch edge and each side edge, the front body panel being at least partially elasticized, the back body panel having a waist edge, two side edges, a crotch edge, and leg opening edges on each side of the crotch edge, between the crotch edge and each side edge, wherein a distance from the crotch edge to the waist edge is greater than the length of the side edges.

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and a waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge. The leg gasketing system may also include a leg gasketing system pocket with an opening on an inboard longitudinal edge of the pocket.
