The present inventive concept relates to a washable sanitary product. The sanitary product comprises a liquid impermeable back sheet, a liquid retaining pad, having an outer surface area adapted to reside nearest the skin of the user and an inner surface resting against the back sheet, wherein a peripheral portion of said back sheet extends radially outside a perimeter of said liquid retaining pad. The sanitary product further comprises a liquid impermeable annular liner being sealingly attached to the outer surface of the liquid retaining pad along the peripheral portion of the liquid retaining pad by a first seal and to the peripheral portion of the back sheet by a second seal, such that the peripheral portion of the liquid retaining pad is sandwiched between the back sheet and the liner. The annular liner and the back sheet together form a liquid impermeable container for said liquid retaining pad. The liquid retaining pad comprises least one element of spacer fabric that serves as both liquid distribution layer and as liquid retaining layer.

An absorbent pad configured to be positioned on a surface is provided. The absorbent pad is configured to absorb and contain bodily exudates and improve skin health for babies. The absorbent pad comprises a central longitudinal axis, a central lateral axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent pad comprises a single pair of cuffs extending at least partially intermediate a first end edge and a second end edge of the absorbent pad. The cuffs are each configured to extend upwardly relative to the topsheet. The absorbent pad comprises a wetness guard positioned on a first side of the central lateral axis and having a portion positioned proximate to the first end edge. The wetness guard is positioned over at least a portion of the topsheet and crosses the central longitudinal axis.

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.

A pad for a garment includes a body and capping. The body has a front, a rear and a periphery and includes one or more absorbent layers for absorbing liquid and a gas-permeable barrier overlying the one or more absorbent layers to block the liquid. The capping runs along and caps at least a portion of the periphery to block the liquid. The capping has a front portion overlying the front, a rear portion overlying the rear, and a mounting portion, projecting away from the body, for mounting the pad.

An absorbent pad for use in a garment is disclosed. The absorbent pad includes a liquid impermeable barrier layer and a functional layer disposed adjacent to the barrier layer, the functional layer having a liquid absorbent component. The absorbent pad also includes a first attaching element coupled to a periphery of the functional layer and a periphery of the barrier layer; and a second attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion coupled to the first attaching element. The second portion of the second attaching element is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment. The absorbent pad is washable and reusable.

An absorbent article having a body contacting surface a garment contacting surface; and an absorbent core disposed therebetween is disclosed. The garment contacting surface has a garment contacting layer with a plurality of graphic elements. A circumferential edge of the article truncates a portion of the plurality of graphic elements.

An absorbent article having a body contacting surface a garment contacting surface; and an absorbent core disposed therebetween is disclosed. The body contacting surface has first and second layers, with each layer having a pair of first longitudinal side edges and second longitudinal side edges, respectively. The garment contacting surface has a garment contacting layer with a plurality of graphic elements and a pair of garment layer longitudinal side edges. The absorbent core has a pair of core longitudinal side edges. Extending laterally outwardly from the article are a pair of flaps formed from a portion of the garment contacting layer and the second layer. A portion of a circumferential edge of the article is formed by each of the pair of second longitudinal side edges and the pair of garment layer longitudinal side edges.

An absorber 4 is interposed between a front-surface sheet 3 and a back-surface sheet 2, and side sheets 7 are respectively disposed along a longitudinal direction on both side parts of a skin side. The front-surface sheet 3 contains non-thermally fusible fiber, and the back-surface sheet 2 and the side sheets 7 contain thermally fusible resin. Fusion parts 10 allowing the side sheets 7 and the back-surface sheet 2 to be thermally fused under a state of the front-surface sheet 3 interposed therebetween are arranged in areas corresponding to side parts outer than the absorber 4 in a width direction, and the areas include the front-surface sheet 3 interposed between the side sheets 7 and the back-surface sheet 2, and include at least front and back end parts of a sanitary napkin 1. The front-surface sheet is prevented from delaminating and tearing accompanied therewith when non-thermally fusible fiber is used in the front-surface sheet.
