  • Method of manufacturing and method of marketing gender-specific absorbent articles having liquid-handling properties tailored to each gender
    Publication number: 20050256757
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing and methods of marketing gender-specific absorbent articles having liquid-handling properties tailored to each gender are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the properties of one or more fluid handling components used in disposable absorbent articles adapted for use by males is different than the properties of the corresponding component or components used in disposable absorbent articles adapted for use by females. Examples of the properties that can differ include permeability, capacity, void volume, basis weight, density, and the like. Examples of fluid handling components whose properties differ include surge materials, superabsorbent materials, absorbent cores, absorbent composites, and the like.
