The present disclosure relates to an absorbent article, such as an infant diaper, training pant, feminine hygiene article, adult incontinence article or wound care dressing. The absorbent article comprises a topsheet. The topsheet comprises or consists of a fibrous nonwoven layer arranged on a wearer facing side of the topsheet. The fibrous nonwoven layer is coated over a coated area on the wearer facing side of the topsheet with a coating composition. The coating composition comprises a lubricant agent comprising an alkoxylated diester selected from the group consisting of fatty ester lubricants.

The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising a plurality of polypropylene-containing fibers that form a nonwoven web, which fibers in addition contain a slip agent, the web has a side which is provided with an alternating pattern which consists of individualized bonded areas which bonded areas are in the form of rods which are arranged in the cross direction of the web, the alternating pattern of individualized bonded areas defines a non-bonded area, the web has a basis weight on the range of from 5-25 g/m.sup.2, the surface of the bonded areas is in the range of 5-20% of the total surface of the side, and the surface of the non-bonded area is in the range of 80-95% of the total surface of the side. The present invention further relates to a process for forming the nonwoven fabric.

The absorbent article of the invention has a liquid impervious backsheet and a liquid pervious topsheet joined to the backsheet. The topsheet has an inner surface oriented toward the interior of the absorbent article and an outer surface oriented toward the skin and hair of the wearer when the absorbent article is being worn and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. At least a portion of the topsheet outer surface comprises an effective amount of a lotion coating which is semi-solid or solid at 20 degrees C., the lotion coating comprising:

(i) from about 10 to about 95% of a substantially water free emollient having a plastic or fluid consistency at 20 degrees C. wherein the emollient contains 5% or less water, the emollient comprising a member selected from the group consisting of petroleum-based emollients, fatty acid ester emollients, alkyl ethoxylate emollients, and mixtures thereof;

(ii) from about 5 to about 90% of an agent capable of immobilizing the emollient on the outer surface of the topsheet, the immobilizing agent being miscible with the emollient, the immobilizing agent having a melting point of at least about 35 degrees C. wherein the immobilizing agent is selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxy fatty acid esters, polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, C14-C22 fatty alcohols, C14-C22 fatty acids, C14-C22 fatty alcohol ethoxylates with a degree of ethoxylation of 4 or less, and mixtures thereof.

An absorbent article comprising a composition, said composition comprising a metathesized unsaturated polyol ester, said metathesized unsaturated polyol ester having one or more of the following properties: (i) a weight average molecular weight of from about 5,000 Daltons to about 50,000 Daltons; (ii) an oligomer index from greater than 0 to 1; (iii) an iodine value of from about 30 to about 200.

Provided is a method for preventing the disturbance of vaginal bacterial flora during the menstrual period and improving the vaginal bacterial flora. One aspect of the present invention is a sanitary product carrying lactoferrin or a composition comprising lactoferrin and an auxiliary substance. Also provided is a kit comprising a sanitary product, and lactoferrin or the composition comprising lactoferrin and an auxiliary substance.

The present invention relates to a sanitary diaper or undergarment having a body shield that may be made of a plurality of materials and may be infused with a plurality of substances that have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and moisturizing properties. The body shield may be hypoallergenic, scented or non-scented. The interior of the body shield has an adhesive flap that can be applied to the genital area or hip area of the wearer, in order to seal the genital area or hip areas of the wearer from any human waste that accumulates within the diaper. As a result, the device greatly reduces and prevents the occurrence of diaper rash and other skin irritations that can occur from wearing a diaper for prolonged periods of time.

A disposable wearing article has a top sheet including a skin-contacting region which is in contact with skin of a wearer. The top sheet is a perforated nonwoven fabric having a hole-arranging area in which the holes penetrating a front surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric and a back surface thereof are arranged in a predetermined pattern. The skin-contacting region has a liquid-containing area containing a hydrophilic skin care liquid, the hole-arranging area, and an overlapping area in which the liquid-containing area and the hole-arranging area are overlapped each other. The top sheet is, at least at the entire hole-arranging area of the top sheet, bonded to an intermediate sheet or the like located at a back surface side of the top sheet with a hydrophobic hot melt adhesive.

A disposable diaper capable of providing good suppression of diaper rash. A disposable diaper including top sheet 30 constituting a surface for use, liquid-impervious sheet provided on the under face side, and absorbent element interposed therebetween, wherein the top sheet is formed of perforated nonwoven fabric having a number of holes arranged at intervals and each penetrating the two sides of the fabric, and a moisturizer M composed mainly of glycerin is applied to the top sheet.

A disposable diaper capable of moisturizing the skin of a wearer and suitably maintaining an adhesive force of an end flap portion. A disposable diaper including: an absorber disposed between a liquid pervious top sheet and a liquid impervious back sheet; an end flap portion formed on each side of the absorber in a front-back direction; and a lotion portion extending in the front-back direction at a predetermined interval in a width direction on a body-side surface of the top sheet, wherein in the front-back direction, the lotion portion is disposed in an intermediate portion between a ventral side portion accounting for 20 to 45% of a front-back direction length of the top sheet from a ventral side end of the top sheet and a dorsal side portion accounting for 10 to 35% of the front-back direction length of the top sheet from a dorsal side end of the top sheet.

An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core is provided. A hydroentangled outer cover material is joined to the backsheet and forms a portion of a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article. The outer cover material comprises a bond pattern formed of bond elements. The outer cover material has a basis weight in the range of about 20 gsm to about 35 gsm. A garment-facing surface of the outer cover material has a Kinetic Sliding Force in the range of about 6.0 to about 7.5. The absorbent article comprises a hydroentangled cushion material forming at least a portion of a garment-facing surface of the core wrap or positioned intermediate the core wrap and the backsheet. The cushion material has a basis weight in the range of about 20 gsm to about 40 gsm.
