The first layer is located between the topsheet and the second layer, and a mean pore size of the first layer is larger than a mean pore size of the topsheet.

A disposable wearing article has a top sheet including a skin-contacting region which is in contact with skin of a wearer. The top sheet is a perforated nonwoven fabric having a hole-arranging area in which the holes penetrating a front surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric and a back surface thereof are arranged in a predetermined pattern. The skin-contacting region has a liquid-containing area containing a hydrophilic skin care liquid, the hole-arranging area, and an overlapping area in which the liquid-containing area and the hole-arranging area are overlapped each other. The top sheet is, at least at the entire hole-arranging area of the top sheet, bonded to an intermediate sheet or the like located at a back surface side of the top sheet with a hydrophobic hot melt adhesive.

A disposable diaper capable of providing good suppression of diaper rash. A disposable diaper including top sheet 30 constituting a surface for use, liquid-impervious sheet provided on the under face side, and absorbent element interposed therebetween, wherein the top sheet is formed of perforated nonwoven fabric having a number of holes arranged at intervals and each penetrating the two sides of the fabric, and a moisturizer M composed mainly of glycerin is applied to the top sheet.

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure may comprise a cover having an adhesive, a manifold, a perforated polymer film, and a perforated silicone gel having a treatment aperture. The cover, the manifold, the perforated polymer film, and the perforated silicone gel may be assembled in a stacked relationship with the cover and the perforated silicone gel enclosing the manifold. The perforated polymer film may be at least partially exposed through the treatment aperture, and at least some of the adhesive may be exposed through the perforated silicone around the treatment aperture.

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure includes a manifold having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The dressing also includes a first layer adjacent to the first surface and a second layer adjacent to the second surface. The first layer and the second layer each include a polymer film. The dressing also includes a plurality of fluid restrictions in the polymer film adjacent to at least the first surface, and a plurality of bonds between the first layer and the second layer. The plurality of bonds defines separable sections of the manifold.

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The plurality of apertures include a first set of apertures defining a first shape and a second set of apertures defining a second shape. The first shape is positioned within the second shape.

A feminine hygiene pad is disclosed. The pad may include a topsheet comprising a nonwoven web, and a fluid management layer beneath the topsheet. The web may include bicomponent staple fibers having an average denier of 1.5 to 2.5 and a sheath-core configuration, have a basis weight of about 18 gsm to 40 gsm, and a plurality of randomly-distributed inter-fiber bonds wherein sheaths of adjacent fibers are fusion-bonded together without compression. The sheaths may comprise PE and the cores may comprise PET, in a weight ratio of 40:60 to 60:40. The web may be formed predominantly of hydrophobic fibers, or the web may include a blend of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers, in a weight ratio of 30:70 to 70:30, wherein fiber hydrophilicity is effected by application of a surface treatment composition. The topsheet may bear an application of an anti-stick agent and/or have a pattern of apertures therethrough.

An absorbent article includes: a top sheet constituting a usage-side surface; a liquid impervious sheet disposed on a back surface side; and an absorbent element interposed between the top sheet and the liquid impervious sheet. The top sheet is a perforated nonwoven fabric in which a large number of openings penetrating the nonwoven fabric from a front surface to a back surface are formed at intervals in a front-back direction and a width direction of a product. A liquid pervious intermediate sheet is bonded to a back surface side of the top sheet at a large number of bonding points by thermal bonding or ultrasonic bonding. The openings each have an area of 1 to 30 mm.sup.2. The bonding points each have an area of 0.12 to 20 mm.sup.2, the area being smaller than the area of the opening.

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure may comprise a cover having an adhesive, a manifold, a perforated polymer film, and a perforated silicone gel having a treatment aperture. The cover, the manifold, the perforated polymer film, and the perforated silicone gel may be assembled in a stacked relationship with the cover and the perforated silicone gel enclosing the manifold.
