An absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310, 410) can include a waist containment member (54) and an absorbent body (34, 134, 234, 334, 434). The waist containment member (54) can include a proximal portion (76) and a distal portion (78) configured to freely move with respect to the chassis (11) when the absorbent article (10, 110, 210, 310, 410) is in a relaxed configuration to provide a containment pocket (82). The absorbent body (34, 134, 234, 334, 434) can be configured to provide improved access for exudates into the containment pocket (82) of the waist containment member (54).

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having at least two longitudinally extending channel-forming areas and a wetness indicator. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid the core wrap forms channels along these areas substantially free of absorbent material. The wetness indicator is placed between the channel-forming areas or between at least one channel-forming area and at least one longitudinally extending side edge of the article, as seen for the exterior of the article.

The present disclosure describes absorbent articles that include an absorbent core. The absorbent core extends longitudinally along a crotch portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent core includes a channel having one or more pathways extending longitudinally along the absorbent core. The channel is substantially free of absorbent material. In some implementations, the channel includes a single pathway. In other implementations, the channel includes multiple pathways.

A disposable absorbent article. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The disposable absorbent article exhibits a pad peel force of at least about 0.5 N, when measured in accordance with the product integrity test.

An absorbent article comprising: a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between said topsheet and backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises an absorbent material, said absorbent material comprising cellulose fibers and/or superabsorbent polymers, and wherein said absorbent material is contained within at least one core wrap substrate enclosing said absorbent material, and wherein a top layer of said core wrap is adhered to a bottom layer of said core wrap by a first adhesive to form one or more channel forming areas substantially free of said absorbent material, wherein said top layer comprises said first adhesive arranged to define a first adhesive area and said bottom layer comprises a second adhesive arranged to define a second area, wherein said first adhesive area is greater than said second adhesive area, and wherein said first and second adhesive areas comprise one or more adhesive stripes, wherein at least one of said adhesive stripes of the first adhesive area overlap said channel forming areas.

[Problem to be solved] To reduce uncomfortable feeling during wearing, and to prevent leakage from a side portion. [Solution] An absorber 4, and side sheets 7 disposed on both side portions in a longitudinal direction of a skin-contact surface side over an entire length in the longitudinal direction are provided. The side sheets 7 do not include an elastically stretchable member. There are provided a non-adhesive portion 10, in which a center portion in the width direction of the side sheets 7 is not bonded to the absorber 4 side, in a longitudinal section including a region corresponding to a body fluid discharge portion H of a wearer, and adhesive portions 11 and 12 in which side sheets 7 are bonded to the absorber 4 at an outer side in the width direction and at both end sides in the longitudinal direction of the non-adhesive portion 10. An edge of side sheet 7 in the center side in the width direction is located to the center side in the width direction from a side edge of a narrowest portion 4a of the absorber 4 in the longitudinal section including a region corresponding to a body fluid discharge portion H of a wearer. An edge in the center side in the width direction of the adhesive portion 11 adjacent to the outer side of the non-adhesive portion 10 in the width direction is provided in a position overlapped to or in the vicinity of the side edge of a narrowest portion 4a of the absorber 4.

(Object) To prevent a high compression portion from being defectively formed and also a top sheet from being torn. (Means of Achieving the Object) A sanitary napkin (1) in which a low compression portion (15) and a high compression portion (16, 17, 18) are formed on a bottom surface of a compressed groove (10) that is recessed from a skin contact surface side. The high compression portion includes regularly-arranged high compression portions (16) that are regularly arranged in a longitudinal direction of the compressed groove (10), a large-area high compression portion (17) that is irregularly arranged in the compressed groove (10) and has an area larger than an area of each of the regularly-arranged high compression portions (16), and an auxiliary high compression portion (18) that is arranged at one side, in a longitudinal direction of the napkin, of the large-area high compression portion (17) through the low compression portion (15) so as to surround the one side, in the longitudinal direction of the napkin, of the large-area high compression portion (17).
