An absorbent article for a pet includes a main body portion including: a liquid-permeable top sheet; a liquid-impermeable back surface layer; a liquid absorber disposed between the liquid-permeable top sheet and the liquid-impermeable back surface layer; a first leakage suppressing portion including a first joining portion that is joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet and a first rising portion that is not joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet; and a second leakage suppressing portion including a second joining portion that is joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet and a second rising portion that is not joined to the liquid-permeable top sheet. The absorbent article is configured such that a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article extends along a waist of the pet wearing the absorbent article.

A soft fibrous highly absorbent non-woven resilient cotton roll formed in a pliable symmetrical cylindrical solid structure which allows for conformity and comfort used for catamenial purposes in concave region of the gluteus maximus.

Asymmetrical absorbent articles having printed regions to facilitate individual placement of the absorbent article are described.

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.

Configurable absorbent articles with improved bodily exudate visualization when viewing a wearer-facing surface are provided. The absorbent articles include a liquid permeable topsheet forming a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article, a liquid permeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid permeable backsheet. The wearer-facing surface exhibits a Delta C* of greater than about 24 and less than about 50 when the absorbent article is subjected to a Bodily Exudate Visualization Test.

The invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region. The waist guard comprises one or more waist guard sheets, and at least a first and a second pocket. The first pocket is formed by the one or more waist guard sheets, and the second pocket is at least partially provided between the topsheet and the first pocket.

The invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region such that at least a first pocket is formed. The waist guard comprises a waist guard sheet having at least three fold lines extending substantially parallel to the transverse centerline of the absorbent article. The waist guard sheet further has at least a first, second, third and fourth portion. The first pocket comprises at least a first elastic portion provided along and/or adjacent to the first fold line.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region such that at least a first pocket is formed. The waist guard is formed of at least a first waist guard sheet and a second waist guard sheet. Each of the first and second waist guard sheet forms a portion of the first pocket. The first waist guard sheet is different from the second waist guard sheet, the difference being selected from the group consisting of basis weight, air permeability, caliper, Low Surface Tension Fluid Strikethrough Time, Opacity, and combinations thereof.

Absorbent articles including sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence pads, wherein an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is reduced from rising by the contraction force of an elastic stretchable member, and the absorption performance is improved and lateral leakage is prevented. In FIG. 5, a sanitary napkin 1 includes a side nonwoven fabric 7 that has an absorber 4 interposed between a permeable front sheet 3 and an impermeable back sheet 2 and forms a solid gather BS rising on each of both side portions on a skin side by a contraction force due to an elastic stretchable member 14. The side nonwoven fabric 7 has a fixed zone 20 joined to the absorbent article 4 side by folding back in both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the napkin, a standing zone 21 rising on a skin side by joining the elastic stretchable member 14 in an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the napkin, and a non-fixed zone 22 where the elastic stretchable member 14 is neither joined between the fixed zone 20 and standing zone 21 nor joined to the absorber 4 side.

A sheet-like water-absorbing structure is provided. The aforementioned structure includes: a sheet-like body that includes an absorptive object and elastic material. Meanwhile, the elastic material surrounds the sheet-like body. The fore-and-aft length of the aforementioned structure is longer than its left-and-right width. Two symmetric first connected structures are located at the front end of the aforementioned structure and two symmetric second one are located at the rear end of the aforementioned structure. Meanwhile, the aforementioned structure has no adhesive materials and it relying on the human body by the first connected structure and the second connected structure.
