The invention relates to the use of a urease inhibitor in an absorbent article to maintain the pH of the wearer's skin in a range of 4.0 to 6.0, wherein the urease inhibitor is provided between the topsheet and the absorbent core and/or is provided in the absorbent core. The invention also relates to absorbent articles comprising a urease inhibitor.

The present invention relates to an absorbent structure and an absorbent article containing said absorbent structure. The absorbent structure, having a sequence of layers connected together, comprises a first outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, a second outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, and a fluid storage layer made from airlaid material arranged between the first and second outer absorbent layers, wherein the airlaid material of the first outer absorbent layer comprises first cellulose fibres, the airlaid material of the second outer absorbent layer comprises second cellulose fibres and the airlaid material of the fluid storage layer comprises third cellulose fibres and super-absorbent components, wherein the first and second cellulose fibres have a lower pH value than the third cellulose fibres and the pH value of the first and second cellulose fibres is less than 5.0.

The present invention generally relates to absorbent sanitary articles for absorption of body fluids and in particular to a sanitary article of this type including a buffer composition adapted to adjust the natural pH of the absorbed body fluid to a pH that is compatible with the pH of skin.

The invention provides an article for detecting amniotic fluid, comprising a membrane layer, a transfer layer, an absorbent layer, and a base layer, wherein the transfer layer comprises an indicator composition. Further provided are methods of use of the article for obtaining an immediate, clear, and reliable identification of amniotic fluid leakage.

A disposable hygiene absorbent article is provided, including a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between said topsheet and said backsheet, wherein said topsheet is of a nonwoven web material having a dry coating, said coating comprising an organic acid having a pKa value not exceeding 5.5 and/or a salt thereof, a surface-active agent, and a water-soluble polymer.

Hygienic product comprising an odor control material having a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, the odor control material including a first carrier material wherein a plurality of odor control particles are bonded to at least one surface of the first carrier material by a binder substance wherein the first carrier material in an unexpanded condition has a plurality of transversal slits, and that the first carrier material in an expanded condition in the longitudinal direction has a plurality of openings, and that the first carrier material is fixed in the expanded condition in the hygienic product whereby the odor control material is in the form of a reticulated structure.

A disposable absorbent hygiene article is provided, comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. In the article, at least one layer, selected from said topsheet and an optionally present liquid permeable and nonabsorbent layer disposed between said topsheet and said absorbent core, is provided with a dry coating comprising at least one lactone selected from the group consisting of ?- and ?-lactones.
