  • Publication number: 20080275415
    Abstract: Disposable adult-incontinence product designs tailored to the differing anatomical features of a man's body and a woman's body are disclosed. The designs take into account differing ways in which men and women age and typically distribute weight. For example, a disposable, adult-incontinence article adapted to be worn by women may employ different leg-opening shapes, absorbent placement, ornamental features, and/or other characteristics compared to a corresponding article adapted to be worn by men. Also disclosed are ways of packaging and marketing said products to help create public awareness of the disclosed arrays of gender-specific, disposable, adult-incontinence articles, as well as individual, gender-specific, disposable, adult-incontinence articles.
