Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a stretchable fastening member is disclosed. The absorbent article comprises a chassis and a stretchable fastening member. The chassis extends longitudinally and laterally and comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. The stretchable fastening member comprises a fixed portion permanently joined to the chassis, a distal portion provided with a fastening material and a stretchable panel positioned between the fixed portion and the distal portion. The stretchable fastening member is joined to the chassis such that the distal portion is positioned laterally outwardly from the fixed portion in the flat-out configuration of the stretchable fastening member. The stretchable panel of the stretchable fastening member comprises a first stretchable zone and a second stretchable zone disposed in the lateral direction.
Abstract: Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants, and the like, that provide dynamic fit about the wearer by the use of extensible, outwardly extending side panels. The side panel includes at least one discontinuity for dividing the tensile force extending the side panel into a waist-directing force and a leg-directing force. The waist-directing force is transmitted by the side panel to the waist area of the article to maintain the waist area in a snug, but comfortable, fit against the waist of the wearer. The leg-directing force is transmitted by the side panel to the leg cuff area of the article to prevent leakage between the leg cuff and the wearer's leg.
Abstract: Compositions comprising one or more polymeric suds volume and suds duration enhances which are mild on the user's skin. The polymeric suds enhances are suitable for use in methods which in use as compositions light duty liquid, LDL compositions, hand dishwashing compositions, laundry bars, personal cleansing compositions and the like.

Abstract: A non-fat creamer composition that contains from about 10% to about 90%, of a microparticulated protein component and from about 10% to about 90%, of a insoluble microcrystalline cellulose component. In the hydrated state the microparticulated protein component particles have a mean diameter particle size distribution ranging from about 0.1 microns to about 10.0 microns, and preferably less than about 5 percent of the total number of particles exceed about 10.0 microns in diameter. Further, the creamer composition contains less than about 2% of fat and oil. These non-fat creamer compositions can be powdered and liquid, dairy and non-dairy, and can be prepared in both concentrated and ready-to-use forms. The powdered creamer compositions are well suited for use in instant and/or dry food and beverage compositions that require the addition of water or other suitable fluids prior to use.
