A method for manufacturing an around-torso portion of a worn article, including the steps of; intermittently conveying a plurality of first sheets by a first drum; conveying a preceding second sheet, of a plurality of second sheets, toward a junction with the first drum by a first pad of a second drum, and conveying the preceding second sheet so that the male touch fastener at the rear end of the preceding second sheet overlaps with the female touch fastener at the front end of one first sheet, of the plurality of first sheets; and conveying a subsequent second sheet, of the plurality of second sheets, toward the junction with the first drum by a second pad of the second drum, and conveying the subsequent second sheet so that the male touch fastener at the front end of the subsequent second sheet overlaps with the female touch fastener at the rear end of the one first sheet.

Described herein are systems and apparatuses for enhanced comfort through contact pressure reduction. In particular, the systems and apparatuses disclosed herein prevent or otherwise mitigate pressure by actively orienting a patient over an anatomy-specific pressure-mitigating contact surface on which the patient rests. A pressure-mitigating contact portion of the contact surface includes a plurality of independently pressurized chambers configured in a specific geometric pattern that is designed to mitigate contact pressure between a support surface (e.g., bed or chair) and a specific anatomic region of a patient's body when the specific anatomic region of the patient's body is oriented over an epicenter of the geometric pattern. Additionally, a plurality of elevated side support portions and a wedge interconnected on the base material are configured to actively orient the specific anatomic region of the patient's body over the epicenter of the geometric pattern.

The current invention concerns to an absorbent article (100) comprising a first part being a disposable part (10), and a second part being a re-usable part (20) wherein the re-usable part (20) is configured to removably hold the disposable part (10), and wherein the absorbent article (100) comprises an electronic system (22) configured to measure data related to a wearer of the absorbent article, and/or to the absorbent article and/or to ambient conditions in close proximity to the wearer of the absorbent article.

A method for forming a wearable absorbent article may comprise forming, by a system, an absorbent chassis comprising an absorbent core, a first lateral end, a second lateral end, and a length in a longitudinal direction extending between the first lateral end and the second lateral end. The method may further comprise forming, by the system, a reusable belt, and attaching, by the system, the belt to the absorbent chassis via at least one temporary fastener component formed on at least one of the absorbent chassis or the belt, resulting in formation of a wearable absorbent article unit.

An absorbent article comprises an absorbent chassis and a belt. The absorbent chassis comprises an absorbent core, a first lateral end, a second lateral end, and a length in a longitudinal direction extending between the first lateral end and the second lateral end. The belt comprises a continuous ring of at least one material configured for wear around a waist of a wearer that is operatively engageable with the first lateral end and the second lateral end, wherein at least a portion of the continuous ring is expandable, wherein the absorbent chassis is disposable, and the belt is reusable with and re-attachable to one or more additional absorbent chassis.

The disclosure relates to absorbent articles having at least a first belt which comprises a first, second and third zone. The at least first belt provides improved fit in the low motion zone of a wearer while being able to adapt easily to the motion of the wearer outside the low motion zone.
