Abstract: An absorbent article comprises first and second substrates and one or more elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate the substrates. The second substrate is attached to the first substrate and/or to portions of the elastic elements. The absorbent article comprises an adhesive having a first and second pattern of elements disposed on first substrate, and first and second texture zones. The first texture zone comprises a first portion of the substrates, a first portion of the elastic elements, and the first pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a background pattern in the first portion of the substrates. The second texture zone comprises a second portion of the substrates, a second portion of the one or more elastic elements, and the second pattern of elements of the adhesive and forms a macro pattern in the second portion of the substrates.

Abstract: A dual-mode high-waist disposable absorbent pant with foldover waist features is disclosed. The pant may include a laterally extending folding region disposed longitudinally between the waist opening edge and the front and/or rear ends of an absorbent core structure; the folding region may include a first web structure. The pant may also include a waistband region disposed longitudinally between the waist opening edge and the folding region; the waistband region may include a second web structure and one or a plurality of laterally extending, pre-strained elastic member(s) disposed between a first pair of layers. The second web structure may differ in configuration from the first web structure. The longitudinal dimension between the waist opening edge of the pant and the leg opening edges may be at least 30 percent of the overall length of the pant when in an open, fully extended and flattened condition.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core structure disposed between the topsheet and backsheet, and an outer blouse layer formed of a nonwoven web, the blouse layer having a blouse layer surface area, the blouse layer being attached to the article at attachment zones having an attachment surface area, the attachment surface area comprising less than 50 percent of the blouse layer surface area.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising first and second belts. Portions of the first belt making up the leg openings may comprise non-linear portions. And, portions of the second belt making up the leg openings comprise non-linear portions. The article may comprise a center chassis that comprises barrier leg cuffs.

Abstract: A textured laminate structure and absorbent articles having a component formed of the textured laminate structure are disclosed. The textured laminate structure may have a first layer formed of a nonwoven web having a preexisting pattern of first apertures therethrough, a second layer, and one or more elastic members disposed between the first and second layers in a prestrained condition. The laminate structure may be discontinuously joined or bonded such that the first layer is joined or bonded to the structure in first portions and unjoined or unbonded to the structure in second portions. The structure provides a stretch laminate with tactilely and visually interesting features, and may be used to form components of a disposable absorbent article such as a side panel thereof.

Abstract: A stretch laminate having enhanced texture, and method for its manufacture is disclosed. The stretch laminate may include two nonwoven layers sandwiching an elastic member, the elastic member having been incorporated into the laminate in a pre-strained condition such that z-direction ruffles in the nonwoven materials are imparted to the laminate when it is in a relaxed condition. At least one of the nonwoven layers may be incrementally stretched or SELFed, adding a pattern of ridges and valleys to the material that combines with the ruffles, further enhancing loft and texture of the laminate.
