The present cuff manufacturing method includes: a step of sandwiching at least two continuous elastic members F between a first sheet and a second sheet; a step of thermally-bonding together the first sheet and the second sheet intermittently in the longitudinal direction to form thermally-bonded portions, thereby fixing the continuous elastic members, thus forming a laminate; a slit step of slitting the laminate along the longitudinal direction, thereby obtaining a pair of cuff members; a step of conveying the pair of cuff members so that a pair of edges, which have been produced by the slitting in the pair of cuff members, are spaced apart from each other; and a step of arranging the pair of cuff members on opposite edge portions of a crotch portion of a worn article, thereby forming cuffs.

The invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region. The waist guard comprises one or more waist guard sheets, and at least a first and a second pocket. The first pocket is formed by the one or more waist guard sheets, and the second pocket is at least partially provided between the topsheet and the first pocket.

The invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region such that at least a first pocket is formed. The waist guard comprises a waist guard sheet having at least three fold lines extending substantially parallel to the transverse centerline of the absorbent article. The waist guard sheet further has at least a first, second, third and fourth portion. The first pocket comprises at least a first elastic portion provided along and/or adjacent to the first fold line.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article with a waist guard disposed in the back waist region such that at least a first pocket is formed. The waist guard is formed of at least a first waist guard sheet and a second waist guard sheet. Each of the first and second waist guard sheet forms a portion of the first pocket. The first waist guard sheet is different from the second waist guard sheet, the difference being selected from the group consisting of basis weight, air permeability, caliper, Low Surface Tension Fluid Strikethrough Time, Opacity, and combinations thereof.

An absorbent article is disclosed that has various leak-proof features. The absorbent article, for instance, includes containment flaps that hold body exudates within the garment. The containment flaps are attached to the absorbent article by a plurality of bond lines at each end of the containment flaps. In order to restrict fluids from flowing between the bond lines, the containment flaps are further bonded at each end by a transverse bond pattern. In one embodiment, the transverse bond pattern can be formed from ultrasonic point bonds. The transverse bond patterns not only restrict leaks but also is aesthetically pleasing.

An attachable-type disposable wearing article including waist elastic members fixed to an end flap, standup gather parts located on opposed widthwise sides, a linear first bending part extending in the width direction from a front edge of one of the back laid-down portions to a front edge of the other, and a linear second bending part extending in the width direction and spaced forwardly apart from the first bending part, a first area adjacent backward to the first bending part and a second area between the first and second bending parts, the waist stretchable region is provided at least between the opposed right and left back laid-down portions, and the second bending part has lower rigidity compared to the second area and the third area adjacent forward to the second bending part.

Provided is an absorbent article which includes a top sheet having extruded protrusions and a second sheet bonded to the top sheet and has adequate softness, satisfactory appearance, and yet prevents wrinkles in the top sheet along the MD. The problem is solved by a method of producing an absorbent article including forming the extruded protrusions through embossing of non-woven fabric to be a top sheet transferred by being drawn from downstream of a production line; and then bonding the non-woven fabric and a material of a second sheet in a bonding pattern formed by aligning the material of the second sheet 40 with the back face of the non-woven fabric having extruded protrusions, forming rows of plurality of top-second bonded portions at intervals in the CD in regions between the extruded protrusions adjacent each other in the MD so as to be provided across the center positions of the regions in the CD, and compressing the non-woven fabric in areas between the top-second bonded portions in the rows in the CD without welding of the non-woven fabric and the material of the second sheet.

Device for male urinary incontinence, comprising at least one pair of underpants which at least one through hole (18) is made, into which the urogenital apparatus (19) is introduced, and at least one absorbent aid (12) provided with at least one bag (21) and connected to the external surface (13) of the underpants (11) by means of support and attachment means (14, 17, 17′); the absorbent aid (12) is provided with at least one through hole (20) substantially aligned with the through hole (18) of the underpants (11) to allow the introduction of the urogenital apparatus (19) inside said bag (21) of the absorbent aid (12).

An absorbent pad configured to be positioned on a surface is provided. The absorbent pad is configured to absorb and contain bodily exudates and improve skin health for babies. The absorbent pad comprises a central longitudinal axis, a central lateral axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent pad comprises a single pair of cuffs extending at least partially intermediate a first end edge and a second end edge of the absorbent pad. The cuffs are each configured to extend upwardly relative to the topsheet. The absorbent pad comprises a wetness guard positioned on a first side of the central lateral axis and having a portion positioned proximate to the first end edge. The wetness guard is positioned over at least a portion of the topsheet and crosses the central longitudinal axis.

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge, and the leg gasketing system further including a leg gasketing system pocket with an opening on an inboard longitudinal edge of the leg gasketing system pocket. The disposable absorbent article also includes at least one channel in the absorbent core.
