Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid management system (LMS) and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet. The LMS defines one or more channels therein. The one or more channels of the LMS may at least partially overlap or not overlap with channels defined in the absorbent core.

Abstract: Absorbent structures for absorbent articles are provided, comprising an absorbent layer with absorbent material containing superabsorbent polymer particles supported by a supporting sheet, and having first and a second substantially longitudinal channel that are free of said superabsorbent polymeric particles, and that comprises one or more adhesive material to immobilize said absorbent material. The channels can provide improved fit and/or liquid acquisition/transportation, and/or improved performance.

Abstract: Absorbent cores for disposable absorbent articles are provided. The absorbent cores each comprise at least two absorbent structures comprising a substrate layer and an absorbent layer, of which one absorbent structure comprises channels and one is free of channels.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent article may include a substantially laterally-extending separation element defining a visual front portion and a visual back portion on a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article. The liquid permeable topsheet may include a first zone in the visual front portion that includes a first geometric treatment and a second zone in the visual back portion that includes a second geometric treatment.

Abstract: An absorbent core includes a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, and one or more channels extending from the crotch region to the back region. The core wrap is at least partially sealed. The absorbent core has a Wet Compression Force of about 5N or less.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes an absorbent core comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material. The absorbent core further comprises at least one channel extending from the crotch region to the back region. The article further comprises an acquisition-distribution system (ADS) between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The ADS comprises one, two or more layers wherein the ADS does not comprise a layer comprising at least 50% by weight of synthetic fibers.

Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article comprising an indication means for indicating the presence of bodily exudates, the indication means comprising a color-changing indication means, wherein the absorbent article and the indication means form one integral unit, the article further comprising a indication device, which comprises a housing and a connection means, such that the indication device can be attached to the absorbent article and be detached from the absorbent article, wherein the indication device comprises a color sensor.

Abstract: An absorbent article having an absorbent core comprising a core wrap (16, 16?) enclosing an absorbent material (60), which comprises at least 80% of superabsorbent polymers (“SAP”) by weight. The absorbent core further comprises at least one channel (26, 26?) and an acquisition-distribution system (ADS) between the topsheet and the absorbent core, the ADS comprising one, two or more layers wherein the ADS does not comprise a layer comprising at least 50% by weight of synthetic fibers and having a basis weight above 150 gsm.

Abstract: An absorbent core (28) and an absorbent article (20) comprising the core. The absorbent core comprises a core wrap (16, 16?) enclosing an absorbent material (60), wherein the absorbent material comprises at least 80% of superabsorbent polymers (“SAP”) by weight of the absorbent material. The absorbent core has a Relative Wet Caliper Increase (RWCI) after compression of less than 10% as measured by the Wet Caliper And Compression Force (WCACF) Test as described herein, and wherein the core wrap (16, 16?) is at least partially sealed so that substantially no absorbent material leaks out of the core wrap while performing the WCACF Test.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to disposable diapers having absorbent cores comprising superabsorbent polymer particles which are immobilized by adhesive. The absorbent cores are attached to the backsheets of the disposable diapers in certain attachment zones to reduce see-through and the formation of tension lines on the backsheets.

Abstract: Absorbent articles herein may provide a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core may comprise at least one channel having a shape. The backsheet graphics may substantially match the shape.

Abstract: Absorbent articles herein may provide a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a printed adhesive layer disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The absorbent core may comprise channels, and the adhesive print layer may be visible through the topsheet.
