A package comprising a plurality of disposable absorbent articles contained in an outer wrap is disclosed. The outer wrap is formed of a film having a thickness and has a path of scoring that partially but not completely penetrates the thickness, and defines a path of weakness in the film along which tear propagation is facilitated.

In one embodiment, an array of packages may comprise two or more different sizes of disposable absorbent articles. The Array Average Length Difference of at least the first and second absorbent articles in the array is less than about 65 mm and greater than about negative 10 mm. In another embodiment, a disposable absorbent article may have a Product Length is within about +/−40 mm of the Target Rise.

An absorbent-article container includes a containing member; and an absorbent article contained in the containing member. At least a part of an outermost surface of the containing member is formed of paper. At least a part of an outermost surface of the absorbent article is formed of nonwoven fabric. A minimum value of a dynamic friction coefficient on an innermost surface of the containing member is less than a dynamic friction coefficient on the part of the outermost surface of the containing member.

An article including a front region, a back region, and a chassis. The chassis may include an absorbent core having a front end edge and a back end edge. The front region and the back region may extend laterally outward beyond side edges of the chassis. The front region and the back region may abut to form a first seam and a second seam. At least one of the front region and the back region may include an elastic member. A first outer nonwoven layer of the front region and a second outer nonwoven layer of the back region may be folded to form an upper edge in the front and back regions such that a distal end of each of the first and second outer nonwoven layer may be disposed between the upper edge and the front and back end edges of the absorbent core, respectively.

A disposable baby changing pad system includes a changing pad body extending from a top end to a bottom end and being composed of a thin, flexible material, the changing pad body further having a pocket formed on a top surface of the changing pad body, the pocket having a top layer sealing an interior area of the pocket; an opening extending into the interior area from the top layer; one or more wipes sealed within the pocket; and a diaper positioned on the top surface of the changing pad body; the changing pad body folds around the pocket and the diaper.

The present disclosure relates to a system comprising at least one primary package accommodating at least one article, and a secondary package accommodating the primary package, wherein the secondary package comprises a second package material having a water vapor transmission rate lower than about 100 g/m.sup.2/day, as measured according to Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test, and a resistance to compression higher than about 150N.

The present invention relates to an ecofriendly diaper system for children and adults. The core components that together make up the architecture of the system are: water-soluble diaper bag, washable diaper, optional moisture-resistant container and a heat-sealing element. Generally speaking, these components are structured such that the water-soluble diaper bags are stored in the moisture-resistant container, and dispensed when needed; a soiled washable diaper is placed in the water-soluble bag and sealed by a knot or by the heat-sealing element. The sealed water-soluble diaper bag containing the soiled diaper is stored. At the desired time, the stored water-soluble diaper bags are washed using a conventional household washer/dryer. The washed diapers are subsequently dried and stored at home. The water-soluble diaper bag is preferably made with polyvinyl alcohol film, where the film is optionally soluble at a temperature higher than the normal human body temperature, and made with an opaque color. The washable diaper is a conventional cloth diaper, and optionally externally coated with a thin film of moisture-proof material.

A package containing a stack of folded disposable absorbent articles, the package being formed of flexible polymeric film, and having a path of perforations or scoring defining a serpentine-shape, is disclosed. The serpentine-shaped path may be located proximate the fold noses of the articles in the stack for easy tactile identification, grasping and withdrawal of individual ones thereof, and may be configured so as to cause opening flaps defined by the path to effectively draw to a closed position following access to the contents within, whereby the package may be used to store the unused supply of articles following opening. The package, and printed commercial artwork and product information on the package surfaces, may be configured such that the fold noses are disposed at the apparent bottom of the package, for improved standing stability when the package is shelved.

A package containing polyolefin film having between about 10% and about 95%, by weight of the polyolefin film, of recycled polyolefin is described. The polyolefin film has an Average Hole Count between about 0.0 and about 10.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Gel Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Relative Gel Height between about 0.0% and about 150.0%. The polyolefin film has a Total Spot Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method.

An array of absorbent article packages is described. The array includes first and second packages having first and second package materials that include natural fibers, respectively. The first and second packages include a plurality of panels and a plurality of seals enclosing one or more absorbent articles therein. A portion of the first package material exhibits a water vapor transmission rate under stress conditions “SCWVTR” in accordance with ASTM F1249, as modified herein, which is about 300 g/(m.sup.2*day) or less. Each of the one or more absorbent articles in the second package comprises an absorbent core having less superabsorbent polymer than the absorbent cores of the one or more absorbent articles in the first package, and the one or more absorbent articles in the first and second packages are made by or on behalf of the same manufacturer.
