The present invention relates to an absorbent insert for underwear. The absorbent insert is removably-secured to an inner surface of a waistband of a user's underwear using integrated adhesives such as hook and loop fasteners. The insert has a fabric body, having an outer surface and an inner surface with a two-layer absorbent pad. The absorbent pad has an impervious layer and a thicker absorbent layer. The absorbent layer covers the crotch region of a user to absorb moisture, urine and sweat without staining the underwear or any clothing. The absorbent insert is machine washable and reusable, and comes in various sizes, shapes and colors to fit a user's underwear.

An easily changed incontinence pad has an integrated support and lifting member. The pad has a main body having an upper portion and a lower portion, and an incontinence member positioned on the lower portion. The support and lifting member forms the upper portion, and is integrated with and separable from the lower portion. The main body is a generally T-shaped body, and the support and lifting member forms first and second arms of the T-shaped body. A method of changing an incontinence pad is also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.

A disposable absorbent underwear product includes a garment layer, an absorbent insert, a non-woven patch, and a barrier. The absorbent insert has a fluid-impermeable base layer, an absorbent core, and a fluid-permeable top layer. The non-woven patch covers an end of the absorbent insert. A first portion of the non-woven patch is adhered to both the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent insert and the garment layer with an adhesive. A second portion of the non-woven patch is free and forms a pouch. An end portion of the absorbent core is disposed adjacent to the second portion of the non-woven patch. The barrier extends along a width of the absorbent insert. The barrier extends through the fluid-permeable top layer of the absorbent core and connects the fluid-impermeable base layer and the one non-woven patch to direct fluid flow to the absorbent core and militate against fluid overflow.

An absorbent article has a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent assembly positioned between the back sheet and the top sheet. The absorbent article includes a fluid intake layer positioned between the absorbent assembly and the top sheet. The fluid intake layer has a rearward-facing arch located in a back portion of the fluid intake layer. The fluid intake layer has an opening. The absorbent article includes a first lateral stiffener and a second lateral stiffener extending along a majority of the longitudinal side edges of the fluid intake layer. The absorbent article includes a first flexure, a second flexure, and a third flexure in a rear portion of the absorbent article.

While in an unused folded state of a worn article, flaps are engaged with second touch fasteners in a protruding end portion via first touch fasteners, and the flaps are folded so that the protruding end portion comes closer to a proximal end portion, and while in a worn state in which the worn article is used, the flaps can be developed so that the first touch fasteners of the protruding end portion can oppose and engage with the second touch fasteners.
