Provided is an absorbent article having excellent shape retention of an absorber even when an external force is applied thereto. The present invention is an absorbent article having: an aqueous-liquid absorbing part having crosslinked polymer particles having as essential constitutional units thereof a water-soluble vinyl monomer and/or a vinyl monomer which became the water-soluble vinyl monomer by hydrolysis, and a crosslinking agent; and a nonwoven fabric having porous fibers as an essential constituent thereof, the crosslinked polymer particles preferably absorbing 40 times the weight thereof of physiological saline 40 in 40-150 seconds.

A pant type disposable absorbent product comprising a front body panel, a back body panel positioned at a distance from said front body panel, and an absorbent member; said absorbent product having a longitudinal central axis X-X and a transverse central axis Y-Y; said front body panel being substantially rectangular, and having a waist edge, two side edges, and an inward edge comprising a crotch edge, and leg opening edges on each side of the crotch edge, between the crotch edge and each side edge, said front body panel being at least partially elasticized, said back body panel having a waist edge, two side edges, a crotch edge, and leg opening edges on each side of the crotch edge, between the crotch edge and each side edge, wherein a distance from the crotch edge to the waist edge is greater than the length of the side edges.

Absorbent cores comprising a core wrap which comprises a liquid permeable substrate layer, the core may contain from about 87% to about 100% of superabsorbent polymer, wherein: (i) the core comprises from about 0.5% to about 20% of an adhesive; (ii), the superabsorbent polymer is disposed in a plurality of frangible pockets in or on the liquid permeable substrate layer; or (iii) both (i) and (ii); and further, the core exhibits a material movement of about 0.2 cm or more, as measured with a Superabsorbent Material Movement Test.

An absorbent cores includes absorbent material enclosed a core wrap which comprises a liquid permeable substrate layer. The core contains from about 87% to about 100% of superabsorbent polymer and a tube-shaped swelling chamber having a length to width aspect ratio of less than or equal to about 5:1. The area of the core is at least twice the area of the swelling chamber, and the core contains a water responsive immobilizing agent to immobilize the superabsorbent polymer prior to water insult. The tube-shaped swelling chamber is a portion of the absorbent core containing superabsorbent polymer that is delimited by a plurality of continuous permanent seals that each join together overlapping portions of the core wrap and prevent superabsorbent polymer from moving across the seals.

The present disclosure relates to a super absorbent polymer film having excellent moisture absorption and to an absorbent article excellent in feeling capable of reducing skin rashes and other irritations generated when warmed by the wearer's body by including the super absorbent polymer film to improve external dampness.

Described herein are absorbent composites containing a superabsorbent material and a fibril filler substantially distributed throughout the superabsorbent material. Also described herein are methods of producing absorbent composites containing a superabsorbent material and a fibril filler substantially distributed throughout the superabsorbent material. Compositions and methods described herein are useful in a variety of absorbent products.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core and a cushion layer between the absorbent core and the backsheet. The cushion layer comprises at least two sub-layers. The sub-layers advantageously have different widths or are bonded to each other by one or more longitudinally-extending attachment areas.

A unitary storage layer for an absorbent article, being formed by at least two sub-layers in which a first outermost sub-layer forms said first surface and includes cellulose pulp fibers and cross linked cellulose fibers and includes less than 5% of SAP by weight of the sub-layer, and a second sub layer which includes cellulose pulp fibers and SAP and is immediately adjacent to said first sub-layer.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid permeable topsheet and a liquid impermeable backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises absorbent material selected from the group consisting of cellulose fibers, superabsorbent polymers and combinations thereof, wherein said absorbent material is contained within at least one core wrap substrate enclosing said absorbent material, and wherein a top layer of said core wrap is adhered to a bottom layer of said core wrap to form one or more channels substantially free of said absorbent material, wherein said channels have a length extending along a longitudinal axis and the absorbent core has a length extending along said longitudinal axis and wherein the length of said channels is from 10% to 95% of the length of said absorbent core such that each said channels are surrounded by absorbent material wherein said top layer of the core wrap is in direct contact with the topsheet, and wherein said top layer of the core wrap comprises a spunbond nonwoven or a carded thermobonded nonwoven.

An absorbent core structure comprising: a first piece of absorbent core material, a second piece of absorbent core material, an upper wicking layer, a lower wicking layer, and a barrier layer. The upper wicking material is located above the first and second piece of absorbent core material. The lower wicking layer is located below the first and second piece of absorbent core material. The absorbent core structure further includes a channel between the first and second piece of absorbent core material. The upper wicking layer is bonded to the lower wicking layer at a bottom portion of the channel and the barrier layer is bonded to the lower wicking layer.
