Abstract: A packet, or packet combination, containing a wipe and powdered substrate is provided. The packet, or packet combination, may be used in conjunction with a hygiene article such as a sanitary napkin. The wipe is used to clean an area of skin or hair that has residual menstrual, urinary, or fecal material left behind after the removal of a hygiene article. The powder may then be used to provide an added benefit such as odor control. An order of use can be dictated by locating the packets containing the wipe and powdered substrate in specific positions on the hygiene article.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprises an open-cell foam, which provides the absorbent structure thereof. The absorbent structure has a means for enhancing transport of the fluids from the upper surface into the core region, the means being selected from: a) localized expanded regions of the foam, b) apertures in the foam; c) integration to a topsheet and d) combinations of (a), (b), and (c). Also disclosed are processes of treating thin-after-drying foam absorbent materials to provide selective expansion, aperturing, and topsheet integration.
