Abstract: The present invention relates to a menstrual fluid management device that is attached directly to the wearer by use of an adhesive. The device allows for direct and immediate containment of menstrual and other vaginal discharges. In particular, the device improves the prevention of soiling over devices already known in the art by using an attachment flange around an orifice which has a shape of the generally oblong dimensions, where the width in the rear end of the orifice is wider than at the front end, thereby improving the circumscription of the female genitalia and the sealing along the flange to the skin of the wearer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a color printed liquid permeable laminated structure comprising a first liquid permeable layer and a second liquid permeable layer, the first layer is color printed on at least one of its surfaces prior being laminated to the second layer and stabilizing the laminated structure with a bonding means. These color printed laminated structures are particularly suitable for use in disposable absorbent articles for feminine protection, typically as so called ‘secondary’ topsheet in face to face relation with so called ‘primary’ topsheet, through which they are visible.

Abstract: The present invention relates to non slip, liquid impermeable moisture vapor permeable composite structures comprising a hydrophilic thermoplastic film which is coated onto a support layer, the support layer having a coefficient of friction greater than 1. The composite structures of the present invention can be used a variety of applications wherein moisture vapor permeability and anti-slipping properties are desirable, such as in absorbent articles for example breast pads, perspiration pads, diapers, sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence products, and also as protective bedding covers, protective clothing and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to disposable thin breathable breast pads having a wearer facing surface and a garment facing surface, said breast pad having a water vapour permeability of more than 100 (g)/(m2/24 hrs) and a stiffness of less than 600 grams.

Abstract: An anatomically shaped disposable absorbent article having a front end portion and a rear end portion and a periphery, and comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a multiplayer backsheet joined to said topsheet and an absorbent core intermediate the backsheet and the topsheet. The anatomically shaped disposable absorbent article has lobes provided by the topsheet and the backsheet extending beyond the absorbent core and has a reduced tendency to form folds in the lobes during the use.

Abstract: The laminated absorbent structure has absorbent gelling material (26) and a first odour absorber (24) each held between separate containing layers (2,4,6). The absorbent gelling material also separates a fluid-receiving surface from the first odour absorber. A second absorber may be a coating sprayed onto the layer (2) so that it is between the gelling material and the first surface. The first absorber is active when not wetted and the second odour absorber is active when wetted. The containing layers are fibrous layers and absorbent gelling material and the odour absorbers are in particle or powder form.
