The present invention relates to an incontinence article for absorption of bodily excretions, comprising an at least regionally liquid-permeable topsheet, a substantially liquid-impermeable backsheet, and an absorption body arranged between the topsheet and the backsheet, the incontinence article comprising a pH regulator between the topsheet and the backsheet at least regionally, characterized in that the pH regulator comprises monosodium citrate or disodium citrate.

The invention relates to the use of a urease inhibitor in an absorbent article to maintain the pH of the wearer's skin in a range of 4.0 to 6.0, wherein the urease inhibitor is provided between the topsheet and the absorbent core and/or is provided in the absorbent core. The invention also relates to absorbent articles comprising a urease inhibitor.

An apparatus for assisting a caregiver with aligning an absorbent article chassis and side panels with a supine wearer's hips, spine and leg opening. The apparatus includes a complementary mechanical fastener portion for engaging with an absorbent article complementary mechanical fastener portion. To align the apparatus and absorbent article assembly, a caregiver, utilizing a grasping element positions the assembly beneath a supine wearer with fewer incidents of ripping and tearing of absorbent article side panels and fasteners prior to application.

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet is described. The disposable absorbent article includes an odor control composition having a preservative, a surfactant, methylated beta-cyclodextrin (m-BCD), and perfume.

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 present invention relates generally to the field of diapers. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vitamin testing diaper device primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of a pair of leg openings, at least one pad, and at least one testing strip. The testing strip is located on the pad. The testing strip is absorbent and impregnated with a chemical that reacts with urine such that the strip will change in color to indicate the presence of a substance in the urine. The substance may be, but is not limited to, a vitamin.

A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and a sensor. The absorbent article may comprise a garment-facing layer and an absorbent assembly. The sensor may be disposed in and/or on the absorbent article. The sensor may be separable from the absorbent article. The sensor may be configured to sense a change in condition within the absorbent article.
