ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING SENSORS
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.
DISPOSABLE WEARABLE ARTICLE
A disposable wearable article has a top sheet constituting a surface for use, a liquid-impervious sheet provided on the under face side, and an 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 two sides of the fabric. The absorbent element includes an absorber body and a packing sheet covering the absorber body. The packing sheet is formed of laminated nonwoven fabric having a spunbonded layer and a melt-blown layer, and a moisturizer composed mainly of glycerin is applied to an exterior surface of the top sheet.
Diaper changing pad and pad cover
A diaper changing pad and a cover for a diaper changing pad is provided. The diaper changing pad or diaper changing pad cover includes at least one region on its top surface that has male mechanical fastening structures that allow a clean diaper to be positioned in an open configuration, ready to be used in a diaper changing routine.
Sensor systems comprising auxiliary articles
A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and an auxiliary article.
Water-Degradable Environmentally Friendly Sanitary Napkin
The present disclosure relates to an environmentally friendly sanitary napkin including: a permeable inner sheet configured to come into contact with a skin and allow secretions to pass therethrough; an impermeable waterproof outer sheet having the same size and shape as those of the inner sheet and bonded to the inner sheet by fusion; an absorbent pad fixedly inserted between the inner sheet and the waterproof outer sheet and configured to absorb secretions such as menstrual blood that passes through the inner sheet; and an adhesive pad inserted into an appropriate position between the absorbent pad and the waterproof outer sheet, and provided on the absorbent pad and the lower surface of the waterproof outer sheet, and configured to fix the sanitary napkin by adhesion to the inside of underwear, wherein the inner sheet, the waterproof outer sheet, the absorbent pad and the adhesive pad are degradable in water or are biodegradable.
The environmentally friendly sanitary napkin of the present disclosure is degradable by a large amount of water in a septic tank when flushed down a toilet bowl after use, and is biodegradable in soil, thus preventing environmental pollution problems.
In addition, the environmentally friendly sanitary napkin may exhibit antimicrobial effects against harmful bacteria in the vagina and exhibit an excellent effect on sanitariness by suppressing the generation of odor caused by secretions.
LAMINATE FOR USE IN AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE
A laminate including a substrate layer and a fibrous layer. The fibrous layer includes cellulose fibers and irregularly shaped lumps of a hotmelt material. The lumps of hotmelt material may at least partially bond the cellulose fibers together, thus increasing the integrity and resilience of the fibrous layer.

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.
Fixed Flat Cloth Diaper
The diaper of the present invention is a fixed flat cloth diaper. The diaper is ‘fixed’, because an outer layer of the diaper resembles the final format of a flat, rectangular cloth diaper having been folded origami style into a shape suitable for donning on a wearer by a user. The outer layer functions primarily to retain the diaper upon the wearer and has a stomach panel for obtaining a good closure of the diaper on the wearer. The diaper is ‘flat’, because an inner layer of the diaper is attached to the outer layer, and the inner layer is a flat, rectangular shape which is customizable for absorbency and can be folded into a flat insert configuration of the user's choice prior to donning the diaper on the wearer. The inner layer functions primarily to absorb waste (urine and feces) excreted by the wearer.
