Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nonwoven substrate comprising a plurality of apertures that form a pattern and define a plurality of discrete non-aperture zones. Each of the plurality of discrete non-aperture zones has a periphery formed by a continuous line of apertures, with adjacent apertures being spaced apart by an edge-to-edge distance of no more than 3 mm, while each of the plurality of discrete non-aperture zones is substantially free of apertures within the periphery. Particularly, the area ratio of such plurality of discrete non-aperture zones over the nonwoven substrate ranges from 60% to 90%, and at least some of said plurality of discrete non-aperture zones have an area of 100 mm2 or more.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent pant having a front belt portion and a rear belt portion is disclosed. The front and rear belt portions are joined at side seams and the rear belt portion has a greater length than the front belt portion. A lower edge of the rear belt portion forms at least in part edges of left and right leg openings to the rear of the side seams. The rear belt portion includes first and second layers of nonwoven web material sandwiching a plurality of laterally extending and laterally pre-strained elastic strands, disposed below the side seams. A first of the plurality of elastic strands differs from a second of the plurality of elastic strands by one or more of amount of pre-strain, tensile modulus, decitex, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: An apertured nonwoven web is provided. The apertured nonwoven web comprises carded fibers, a first side, and a second side. The apertured nonwoven web defines a plurality of apertures therein. The apertures may each have a first side aperture size and a second side aperture size, and a ratio of the first side aperture size to the second side aperture size may be between about 1.15:1 to about 1:1.15. The plurality of apertures may have an aperture size regularity of about 1% to about 15%. The plurality of apertures may have an aperture shape regularity between about 1% to about 12%.

Abstract: A tampon applicator assembly is disclosed. The applicator assembly may include a barrel portion, a grip portion and an ejection plunger configured to slide coaxially within one or both the barrel portion and the grip portion. One or more of the barrel portion, grip portion and ejection plunger may be molded from a molding composite comprising cellulose fibers.

Abstract: A nonwoven web for an absorbent article is provided. The nonwoven web comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface. The three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions. The one or more first regions are different than the plurality of second regions in a value of an average intensive property. The one or more first regions comprise a first line, a second line, and a third line extending at least partially intermediate the first line and the second line. The first line and the second line extend in substantially the same direction. The third line extends in a direction transverse to the first line and the second line.

Abstract: Water-soluble films including a polyvinyl alcohol polymer (PVOH) and one or more eutectic solvent pairs (eutectic solvent) in predefined ratios.

Abstract: A nonwoven web for an absorbent article is provided. The nonwoven web includes a first surface and a second surface. The nonwoven web includes a repeat unit comprising a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface. The three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions. The one or more first regions are different than the plurality of second regions. The one or more first regions comprise a plurality of substantially linear segments. A first group of the plurality of substantially linear segments intersects with a second group of the plurality of substantially linear segments at angles of intersection. The angles of intersection are in the range of about 70 degrees to about 110 degrees.

Abstract: A laundry treatment apparatus including a base, a tub, and a drum rotatable relative to the tub about an axis of rotation that is within 20 degrees of horizontal. The axis of rotation is in a sagittal plane of the drum. The apparatus further includes a detergent container receptacle and a fabric softener container receptacle. The detergent container receptacle is further away from the sagittal plane than the fabric softener container receptacle. The laundry treatment apparatus optionally includes a heater that is optionally elevationally higher than the axis of rotation and the sagittal plane is optionally between the detergent container receptacle and at least a portion of the heater.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to stable aqueous compositions of alkyl sulfates, which are suitable for numerous commercial applications due to their favorable cleaning and foaming properties. More particularly, the disclosure relates to stable aqueous compositions of alkyl sulfates in combination with select hydrophobic agents, such as essential oils.

Abstract: A method of cleaning soiled ware in a dishwasher, the method having the step of delivering a phosphate-free cleaning composition using a multi-dosing system, the composition comprising bleach, metal bleach catalyst and a complexing agent and wherein the complexing agent is slowly released as compared to the bleach catalyst.

Abstract: Personal cleansing compositions having an anionic surfactant, cationic deposition polymer, a level of inorganic salt of from about 0 to about 1 wt %, and an aqueous carrier. The composition is substantially free of sulfate containing surfactants. The composition can further comprise amphoteric surfactants. The composition remains phase stable, and minimizes coacervate formulation until after dilution with water.
