The present invention is intended to provide an absorbent article that is excellent in anti-odor effect at the time of disposal. A pants-type disposable diaper includes an anti-odor tape that has a first gas barrier layer coupled to the pants-type disposable diaper and a second gas barrier layer that is stuck in a separable manner to either front or back surface of the first gas barrier layer via an adhesive agent containing an anti-odor agent. The anti-odor tape takes an anti-odor measure by separating the second gas barrier layer from the first gas barrier layer to expose the adhesive agent to the outside at the time of disposal of the pants-type disposable diaper.

A disposable diaper having a first sheet of viscose fiber material disposed against a child's skin, an acquisition and diffusion layer (ADL) interposed over top of the first sheet of viscose fiber, a coating layer of tissue fiber interposed over top of the ADL layer, an absorbency core layer interposed over top of the coating layer, a permeable layer of polymer film interposed over top of the absorbency core layer, and a second sheet of viscose fiber material overlaid over top of the permeable polymer film layer, the second sheet functioning as the exterior sheet of the disposable diaper.

A disposable absorbent pant configured for management of menstrual discharge or incontinence is disclosed. The pant may include a pocket structure joined with the pant structure, defining a pocket opening and an enveloped space therewithin, the pocket structure being configured such that at least a portion thereof defining the enveloped space is elastic.

A diaper changing and disposal kit is disclosed. The diaper changing and disposal kit has a diaper with a pocket. The pocket stores a variety of diaper changing supplies such as baby wipes, disposable gloves, and an airtight disposal bag. The diaper also has a wetness indicator strip to aid a user in determining when the diaper needs to be changed. Preferably, the diaper changing and disposal kit is stored in a package until it is ready to be used.

A method and apparatus for disposing of sanitary waste such as used adult and children diapers, sanitary pads, napkins, incontinence sheets, and like waste products.

A garment having an absorbent portion that includes a central absorbent portion having opposing sides, a first gasket portion formed on the central absorbent portion, and a second gasket portion formed on the first gasket portion. In some variations, the garment may include a pair of briefs having an opening for a wearer's torso and leg openings for each of the wearer's legs. The leg openings may include leg cuffs that may include one or more of: light ruching on or inside the leg cuffs, stretch binding or a stretch seam formed on an outer edge of the light ruching, and/or absorbent binding on the leg cuffs.

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 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 unitary, disposable diaper possessing integrated soilage-management structure including a portion structured to form a selectively deployable, ultimately closable and sealable, soilage-impervious disposal container which enables after-baby-clean-up discarding of the entire, integrated, soiled diaper componentry as a compact disposable unit.

An absorbent article (10) can have a first body panel (20), a second body panel (30), and an absorbent panel (40) spanning between connecting the first body panel (20) and the second body panel (30). The absorbent panel (40) is narrower in width than each of the first body panel (20) and the second body panel (30) and is bonded to at least one of the first body panel (20) and/or second body panel (30) with at least one bond region (102,104) having a first bond strength and at least two bond regions (106,108) having a second bond strength greater than the first bond strength. Following use of the absorbent article (10) by a wearer, the portion of the absorbent panel (40) bonded to the body panel (20,30) with weaker bond strength can be separated from the body panel (20,30). The absorbent article (10) can be reconfigured from a wear configuration into a disposal configuration such that the portion of the material forming the body panel (20,30) which has been separated from the absorbent panel (40) can be inverted over the absorbent article (10).
