A body waste collection system for collecting excretions from the anus and/or urethra of female humans and animals. The body waste collection system includes a pad that has a central opening of a shape and shape that corresponds to a shape and size of a body orifice, wherein the pad can adhere to the skin area around the body orifice. A tubing fluidly connects the central opening of the pad to a waste collection bag, such as excretions from the body orifice can pass through the central opening into the tubing, and the tubing can direct the excretions into the waste collection bag.

The present disclosure relates generally to a wearable device, and more specifically to a wearable device for detecting biological events, monitoring health condition of an individual, and for providing automatic alerts and analytics reporting. An exemplary wearable device for monitoring health condition of an individual comprises a puck component attachable to the individual’s clothing, wherein the puck component comprises a circuit of a moisture sensor; a strip component configured to be placed within the individual’s clothing, wherein a proximal end portion of the strip comprises a pair of conductive pads, and wherein the pair of conductive pads is configured to interface with the circuit of the moisture sensor while the proximal end portion of the strip is enclosed within the puck via a coupling mechanism.

A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and an auxiliary article.

A forming apparatus for forming a plurality of apertures in a nonwoven substrate is provided. The apparatus includes intermeshing members having a first and second member. The first member includes a body portion and a plurality of conical-shaped pins. The plurality of conical-shaped pins each have a first section having a first wall extending from a base portion to a distal portion, at least a portion of the first wall disposed at a first angle greater than 17.5 degrees relative to a central axis. The plurality of conical-shaped pins each have a second section having a second wall extending from a base portion, the base portion extending from the first member body portion, at least a portion of the second wall disposed at a second angle relative to the central axis of each conical-shaped pin, the second angle being different than the first angle and less than 20 degrees.

An absorbent article for wearing about the lower torso of a wearer includes a first waist region having a first waist edge, a second waist region having a second waist edge, and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions. The article further includes a first longitudinal edge, a second longitudinal edge, and a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. A waist gasketing element is disposed in one of the first or the second waist regions and joined to the chassis in a chassis attachment region. The waist gasketing element comprises an outboard lateral edge and an inboard lateral edge. The chassis attachment region comprises a first zone proximate to the outboard lateral edge and a second zone disposed longitudinally inboard of the first zone. Each of the first and the second zones comprise one or more chassis attachment bonds. The first zone comprises a first total basis weight and the second zone comprises a second total basis weight, wherein the second total basis weight is greater than the first total basis weight.

The present invention relates generally to a sanitary pad with a crevice mound and a method of using same. More particularly, the invention encompasses a sanitary pad having at least one crevice mound or male portion or raised padded projection, and where the at least one crevice mound physically and partially penetrates an area near and around a human orifice, such as, anal crevice area, vaginal crevice area, to intercept, collect, and retain any bodily fluid that maybe being discharged from the human orifice around the vaginal and/or anal area. The invention also provides a method of using the inventive sanitary pad with at least one crevice mound, where the crevice mound is placed near or adjacent a human orifice, such as, anus, vagina, to at least capture at least a portion of a human bodily fluid coming out of the human orifice around the anal and/or vaginal area.

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.

An absorbent article (10, 110, 210) can include an absorbent assembly (43) including a bodyside liner (28), an outer cover (26, 126, 226), and an absorbent body (35) disposed between the bodyside liner (28) and the outer cover (26, 126, 226). The outer cover (26, 126, 226) can include at least one opaque region (64, 164, 264) and a first indicator region (66, 166, 266). The first indicator region (66, 166, 266) can have a light transmittance that is greater than a light transmittance of the at least one opaque region (64, 164, 264). At least a portion of the first indicator region (66, 166, 266) can be located between the first longitudinal edge (36) of the absorbent body (35) and the first coupling length (45) of the first containment flap (44) in at least the crotch region (16) of the absorbent article (10, 110, 210).
