The present disclosure describes absorbent articles that include an absorbent core. The absorbent core extends longitudinally along a crotch portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent core includes a channel having one or more pathways extending longitudinally along the absorbent core. The channel is substantially free of absorbent material. In some implementations, the channel includes a single pathway. In other implementations, the channel includes multiple pathways.

An absorbent article comprising: a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between said topsheet and backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises an absorbent material, said absorbent material comprising cellulose fibers and/or superabsorbent polymers, and 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 by a first adhesive to form one or more channel forming areas substantially free of said absorbent material, wherein said top layer comprises said first adhesive arranged to define a first adhesive area and said bottom layer comprises a second adhesive arranged to define a second area, wherein said first adhesive area is greater than said second adhesive area, and wherein said first and second adhesive areas comprise one or more adhesive stripes, wherein at least one of said adhesive stripes of the first adhesive area overlap said channel forming areas.

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.

The disposable absorbent article also includes at least one channel in the absorbent core.

The present disclosure invention relates to a disposable absorbent article (100) comprising a liquid-pervious topsheet (10), a liquid-impervious backsheet (20) and an absorbent assembly (30) between the topsheet (10) and the backsheet (20). The absorbent assembly (30) comprises an absorbent core (40), an upper core wrap (50) and a lower core wrap (60). The absorbent core (40) comprises at least two cavities (70) free of absorbent material wherein the upper core wrap (50) and the lower core wrap (60) are permanently attached to each other, said cavities (70) being interconnected via at least one connecting line (80) comprising absorbent material. The absorbent core (40) has a first basis weight in the zone out of the cavities (70) and the connecting lines (80) and a second basis weight in the connecting lines (80), the first basis weight being greater than the second basis weight. in the cavities (70). The resulting absorbent assembly (30) may show all together a very good integrity, a very good distribution of fluids and a quick rate of absorption.

An absorbent article is provided, which effectively utilizes the entire absorber by quickly diffusing a body fluid, and reduces discomfort in a wearer by suppressing unpleasant dampness and twisting after absorption of the body fluid. An absorbent article of the present invention includes a liquid permeable top surface sheet, a liquid impermeable back surface sheet, and an absorber disposed between the top surface sheet and the back surface sheet. A top surface sheet side of the absorbent article is provided with extending a plurality of compressed lines in each of which a plurality of recess portions formed by compressing the top surface sheet and the absorber are arranged. The plurality of compressed lines form intersection regions where the compressed lines intersect with each other. The compressed recess portions are not formed in the intersection regions.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles having an absorbent core that can comprise a laminate longitudinally folded such that the absorbent core includes a lower laminate layer and, within each of first and second longitudinally-extending edge regions, one or more folded laminate layers. A center region of the lower layer can be bonded to a chassis and can span a lateral distance smaller than the width of the absorbent core such that at least a portion of the absorbent core in each of the edge regions is configured to lift away from the chassis. The present absorbent cores can thus define a containment zone to reduce liquid and/or feces leakage.

A taped absorbent article 20 comprising a crotch channel 26 having a crotch channel bond strength, and a front channel 56 having no bond or a front channel bond strength which is weaker than the crotch channel bond strength. The front channel is at least partially superposed with the landing zone 44 on which the back ear tapes 42 can be releasably fastened. During use, the front channel can delaminate to relieve stress on the landing zone and avoid accidental detachment of the tapes 42.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material and a core wrap is provided. The core comprises at least one channel-forming area that is substantially free of absorbent material. The absorbent article comprises a masking layer between the bottom side of the core wrap and the backsheet. The masking layer and the bottom side of the core wrap are only partially bonded to each other at their interface, the interface thus comprising a bonded portion and an unbonded portion, wherein the channel-forming area at least partially corresponds to the unbonded portion of the interface, so that when the absorbent material swells, the masking layer can decouple from the three-dimensional channels.
