Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an absorbent article including a closed cell foam matrix for delivering oxygen. The absorbent article includes a liquid permeable inner surface for facing the wearer, an outer surface for facing away from the wearer, an absorbent assembly disposed therebetween, and a closed-cell foam matrix material applied to a portion of the absorbent article. The closed cell foam matrix contains a superabsorbent material and oxygen entrapped within the superabsorbent material. To produce the closed cell foam matrix for delivering oxygen, an alkali hydroxide catalyst and oxygen precursor are both added to an aqueous superabsorbent material. The aqueous solution is applied to a nonwoven material. The nonwoven material is then heated to produce oxygen by reacting the alkali hydroxide catalyst and the oxygen precursor thereby entrapping the oxygen in the formed closed cell foam matrix.

Abstract: An absorbent article has non-uniform dimensioned side barrier features and includes a lower structure. The article also includes an upper structure in fluid communication with the lower structure. The upper structure is adjacent and bonded to the lower structure. Embossment channels or embossment features and said side barrier feature lateral-most edges define side barrier features having either non-uniform lateral width dimensions or a combination of non-uniform lateral width and non-uniform height dimensions along the longitudinal direction of said article.

Abstract: An absorbent article has non-uniform dimensioned side barrier features and includes a lower structure. The lower structure includes a backsheet layer, a first fluid permeable topsheet layer bonded to the backsheet layer, and a first absorbent core layer sandwiched between the first topsheet layer and the backsheet layer, with the first absorbent core layer having lateral-most side edges. The article also includes an upper structure in fluid communication with the lower structure. The upper structure is adjacent and bonded to the lower structure at the first fluid permeable topsheet layer, and includes a second fluid permeable topsheet layer and at least one additional absorbent layer.
