  • Publication number: 20040122389
    Abstract: An absorbent article includes a fluid permeable topsheet, a fluid impermeable backsheet, and a hygroscopic treatment. The hygroscopic treatment is protected from liquid contact under conditions of use and acts to reduce the water vapor present in the absorbent article environment, thereby reducing the relative humidity in the article. As a result, the article exhibits substantially reduced levels of hydration of the wearer's skin when in use which renders the skin less susceptible to the viability of microorganisms. The absorbent article may also include a ventilation layer between the absorbent body and the backsheet and/or a surge management layer between the absorbent body and the topsheet.

  • Publication number: 20030203691
    Abstract: A three-dimensional nonwoven web having a regional, bulk density of less than 0.04 grams per cubic centimeter, a top-side base surface that defines an x,y-plane and at least one macroscopic surface feature extending out of the x,y-plane wherein a macroscopic surface feature is characterized as a feature having an apex that extends at least about 1 millimeter above the x,y-plane of the top-side base surface is provided. The macroscopic feature maintains a height of at least 1 millimeter above the x,y-plane of the top-side base surface under a 1.2 kPa load (Pf) and results in contact of an object resting on the macroscopic feature such that the percent contact area of the nonwoven web with an article resting on the macroscopic surface feature at a 1.2 kPa load (Pf) is less than 50 percent of the bulk area of the nonwoven web supporting the article.
