Abstract: An absorbent sanitary product wearable as a pant-like garment includes a central body including an absorbent portion defining a crotch portion of the product and two side panels extending laterally from the opposite ends the central body to define respective portions of the waist line of the product so that a pair of complementary side panels is provided at each side of the central body. Each side panel has a distal edge connected to a distal edge of the complementary side panel via a refastenable hook-and-loop closure including complementary hook and loop elements. In each pair of complementary side panels one panel carries at its surface facing inwardly of the product either of the hook and loop elements of the hook-and-loop closure. The other panel has its distal edge folded over itself inwardly of the product to form an end loop portion and a marginal rim sandwiched between the two complementary side panels.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming absorbent cores (54) that include absorbent pads (50) of cellulose fluff and superabsorbent polymers, comprising a forming section (12) configured for forming a continuous moving chain (52) of absorbent pads (50) oriented in a direction transverse with respect to the direction of movement (X) of the chain (52), the forming section (12) comprising a dispenser device (56) configured for applying superabsorbent polymers on said absorbent pads (50) oriented in a transverse direction at a variable concentration in a direction (Y) transverse with respect to said direction of movement (X) of the continuous chain (52).
