  • Absorbent article with C-fold layer fluid acquisition system, C-fold layer fluid acquisition system for use in absorbent articles and method of making the same
    Patent number: 6838591
    Abstract: A disposable absorbent article, e.g., a diaper, having a top sheet, a back sheet, a core and a fluid acquisition system. The fluid acquisition system is formed by wrapping a layer of a non-woven material about the core, so that the marginal edge portions of the layer overlap each other over the upper surface of the core. The overlapping marginal edge portions are hydrophillic to form a dual layer fluid acquisition system. The remainder of the layer of non-woven material is hydrophobic. An additional layer can be located adjacent the overlapping portions to form a three layer acquisition system.
