  • Publication number: 20040238393
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a disposable absorbent product, comprising: a package having a transparent window; and a plurality of individually wrapped disposable absorbent articles which are stacked and contained in the package. An adhesive means is disposed between the garment facing surface of the backsheet and the wrapper sheet of the absorbent article. The adhesive means includes a plurality of adhesive sections which are spaced apart one another by at least one non-adhesive section. Each absorbent article is folded about at least one folding line that intersects the adhesive means at the non-adhesive section. The stacked absorbent articles are arranged such that the folding line of each absorbent article positions towards the transparent window of the package. As result, the adhesive means can be protected from yellowing caused by the ultraviolet light which comes in through the transparent window.
