A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and a sensor. The absorbent article may comprise a garment-facing layer and an absorbent assembly. The sensor may be disposed in and/or on the absorbent article. The sensor may be separable from the absorbent article. The sensor may be configured to sense a change in condition within the absorbent article.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising a nonwoven material, the nonwoven material comprising PET resin having less than 150 ppm of antimony. One or more layers of cover materials are covering the nonwoven material both on the wearer-facing surface and on the garment-facing surface, such that the nonwoven material does not form a wearer-facing or garment-facing surface of the absorbent article.

An absorbent article includes a permeable top sheet, an impermeable back sheet, an absorbing part disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, and a friction reducing layer disposed between the back sheet and the absorbing part. The friction between the friction reducing layer and the back sheet or the friction between the friction reducing layer and the absorbing part is less than the friction between the absorbing part and the back sheet.

A taped absorbent article is provided. The taped absorbent article includes a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and an outer cover nonwoven material joined to the backsheet. The outer cover nonwoven material comprises a first mechanical bond pattern. The taped absorbent article includes a discrete ear laminate joined to the chassis. The discrete ear laminate includes a first nonwoven material having a garment-facing surface, a second nonwoven material having a wearer-facing surface, a plurality of ultrasonic bonds, and an elastic member positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second nonwoven materials. The garment-facing surface of the first nonwoven material comprises a second mechanical bond pattern. The first and second mechanical bond patterns are substantially the same. The outer cover nonwoven material is substantially the same as, or the same as, the first nonwoven material.

An absorber has at least one continuous groove and a back sheet provided on a non-skin side with a plurality of adhesive displacement stoppers, for fixing the absorbent article to underwear. One continuous groove has a shape having two or more portions protruding toward a front of the continuous groove and/or having two or more portions protruding toward a rear of the continuous groove. The continuous groove includes a groove portion, where an imaginary region overlaps the continuous groove, the groove portion having an area of 3% or greater of the region, the groove portion not overlapping a centerline extending in the front-rear direction in plan view. The displacement stopper overlaps an entirety of the continuous groove in the width direction and an entirety of the groove portion in the front-rear direction, or does not overlap the groove portion, in plan view.

Disclosed is an absorbent article comprising a core chassis and a leg gasketing system comprising a pair of wearer facing cuff regions comprising an inner cuff sealing and inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, wherein the inner cuff sealing bonds the cuff material and a topsheet, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge; a pair of garment facing cuff regions formed by inwardly extending the cuff material over a garment facing side of the core chassis, and a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on wearer facing cuff regions or garment facing cuff regions; and wherein the absorbent article has a Worn Leg Opening (WLO) of from about 300 mm to about 450 mm, a Minimum Leg Opening (MLO) of from about 225 mm to about 300 mm, and a ratio of WLO/MLO of from about 1.5 to about 1.7.

Disclosed is a pant type absorbent article comprising a core chassis and a leg gasketing system comprising a pair of wearer facing cuff regions comprising an inner cuff sealing and inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge; a pair of garment facing cuff regions, and a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on wearer facing cuff regions or garment facing cuff regions, each outer cuff elastic element disposed so as to superpose the core side regions and so as to superpose the inner cuff sealings or outward thereof; and wherein the front belt and the absorbent body is joined in a manner such that the front longitudinal end of the outer cuff elastic element in active elasticity superposes the front belt and left unjoined to the front belt.

Introduced here are apparatuses and systems for mitigating contact pressures applied to a human body by the surface of an object, such as a chair, bed, or table. A pressure-mitigation apparatus can include a series of chambers whose pressure can be individually varied. When placed between a patient and a contact surface, the pressure-mitigation apparatus can vary the contact pressure on a specific anatomical region of the patient by controllably inflating and/or deflating one or more cell. Moreover, a pressure-mitigation system can be readily integrated into a conventional treatment regimen for a variety of different conditions.

A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and an auxiliary article.
