METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MAKING ABSORBENT ARTICLES WITH ELASTOMERIC LAMINATES HAVING BEEN ACCUMULATED AND REFRESHED
The present disclosure relates to methods for manufacturing absorbent articles, and in particular, to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be accumulated and subsequently refreshed to be used as components of absorbent articles. In some configurations, the elastomeric laminate may be wound onto a roll and may comprise elastic strands bonded in a stretched state with a first substrate, wherein the first substrate on the roll comprises a roll substrate strain value that is greater than zero. During the process of assembling absorbent articles, the elastomeric laminate may be unwound from the roll and first discrete contiguous connections between the strands and the first substrate may then be fractured and disrupted to form second discrete contiguous connections by applying localized tensions to the elastomeric laminate.
Absorbent article
Provided is an absorbent article exhibiting an improved effect of preventing the body fluid from leaking by including a superabsorbent polymer film having excellent absorbency in three-dimensional gathers.
