The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, an absorbent core, and a backsheet. The absorbent article has a visually perceptible functional enhancement indicator and a functionally-distinguishable portion of the article with one or more channels. The visually perceptible functional enhancement indicator corresponds to the one or more channels, and the functional enhancement indicator is visually perceptible from a body-facing side of the absorbent article but the one or more channels are not visually perceptible.

Disclosed is a wearable article comprising a main body and a ring-like elastic belt comprising an outer cover layer, a backsheet, a front belt artwork region; and a back belt artwork region; and wherein one or both of the front and back belt artwork regions comprises a belt artwork; a transitional region on the front waist panel and the back waist panel where the outer cover layer exists; and a crotch artwork region on the crotch panel comprising a crotch artwork; wherein at least some of the belt artwork and some of the crotch artwork are printed on the backsheet, wherein when the opacity of the outer cover layer is OC and the opacity of one or both of the front belt and the back belt comprising the belt artwork is OB, respectively, the difference between OC and OB is less than about 20%.

Disposable absorbent articles having color effects and materials thereof are disclosed. Disposable absorbent articles include a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a layer between the absorbent core and the topsheet. The topsheet has a generally planar first surface having a plurality of out-of-plane features and a first color. The layer has a second color. And, the plurality of out-of-plane features have a feature color different than the first color and the second color.

A process for making individually wrapped personal hygiene absorbent articles is provided. It comprises: (i) providing a single image with indicia wherein at least one of the indicia is repeated more than once within said single image; (ii) printing a plurality of said single images over a continuous film to form a continuous repetition of the same single image in a side-by-side arrangement; (iii) cutting the printed film and/or web material along a transverse axis such to form a plurality of individual segments of film forming individual wrapping sheets comprising a portion of said single image and sized such to each accommodate one of said personal hygiene absorbent articles therein; (iv) wrapping individual personal hygiene absorbent articles each with one of said wrapping sheets such that a printed portion of the wrapping sheet is viewable; (v) stacking a plurality of the individually wrapped personal hygiene absorbent articles into a container.

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

An absorbent article comprising a topsheet comprising a first nonwoven material having a first visible element, a backsheet comprising a second nonwoven material having a second visible element, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the first visible element and the second visible element are matching visible elements. Matching visible elements may enhance a caregiver's understanding of breathability and air flow between absorbent article components by indicating a pathway for air to flow.

Disclosed is a wearable article comprising a main body and a ring-like elastic belt comprising an outer cover layer, a backsheet, a front belt artwork region; and a back belt artwork region; and wherein one or both of the front and back belt artwork regions comprises a belt artwork; a transitional region on the front waist panel and the back waist panel where the outer cover layer exists; and a crotch artwork region on the crotch panel comprising a crotch artwork; wherein at least some of the belt artwork and some of the crotch artwork are printed on the backsheet, wherein when the opacity of the outer cover layer is OC and the opacity of one or both of the front belt and the back belt comprising the belt artwork is OB, respectively, the difference between OC and OB is less than about 20%.

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

The present invention is directed to a wearable article 20 continuous in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction comprising a main body 38 and a ring-like elastic belt 40 comprising an outer cover layer 42 at the most garment-facing side and a backsheet 60 attached to the skin-facing surface of the outer cover layer 42; wherein the longitudinal length of the outer cover layer 42 is longer than the longitudinal length of the crotch panel 56 and shorter than the longitudinal length of the backsheet 60; and further comprising: a front belt artwork region 40F disposed on the front waist panel 52 where the outer cover layer 42 is absent; and a back belt artwork region 40B disposed on the back waist panel 54 where the outer cover layer 42 is absent; and wherein one or both of the front belt artwork region 40F and the back belt artwork region 40B comprises a belt artwork 40A; a transitional region 34F, 34B disposed on the front waist panel 52 and the back waist panel 54 where the outer cover layer 42 exists; and a crotch artwork region 30 disposed on the crotch panel 56 comprising a crotch artwork 40A; wherein at least some of the belt artwork 30A and some of the crotch artwork 40A are printed on the backsheet 60, wherein when the opacity of the outer cover layer is OC and the opacity of one or both of the front belt and the back belt 84, 86 comprising the belt artwork is OB, respectively, the difference between OC and OB is less than about 20%.
